I tested this out, across a 2400 mile road trip, and yep. It's SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper at EA vs Tesla.

Free unlimited super charging is wonderful.And of course, the per minute rate, or per kwh rate, is not an issue when driving an S. All my charging stops are free. And few and far between with a 400-mile range. Sure, the initial cost is higher, but the extra room and the level of comfort and luxury make it a better choice if you can afford it. Wifey's 3 sits in the garage for weeks while we take the S everywhere.
Couldn't have afforded one myself if not for Tesla stock, which rose 4000% from initial purchase.

I think they specifically exclude the prices on the web site, just like they don't put usage data on it. Probably for competive reasons.It would be nice to see the pricing when you click a pin on the Find Us page, but I think that page is rebuilt statically, and automating the ability to pull the current prices is probably low on Tesla's list of priorities.
Enjoy the thread below.My 2018 Model 3 is not configured for CCS charging. Does anybody know what it costs from Tesla to change or add the circuit board that allows it to use the CCS adapter?

400 miles is great. That would get me from my House in Kentucky to Dalton Ga with around 70 miles of range left.And of course, the per minute rate, or per kwh rate, is not an issue when driving an S.

I personally never agreed with the math as it was entirely subjective based upon how much you drive, where you drive, and what superchargers you use the most on each and every trip. At best it ended up being an immaterial difference IMO. Supercharger prices have also went down in the past month or so. Additionally, EA, EVGo, etc. are extremely unreliable and stations are routinely offline or full or at worst, both of those things.Now that tesla is selling the adapter at $250, I am looking at this move to have a CCS option for roadtrips. I go to places where Superchargers aren't as available (Pensacola, FL for example). Any change in opinion on this topic in the past 6 months? The math seems to suggest about 7-10k road trip miles to break even on the cost of the adapter.

Looks like no one re-visited this thread after EA upped their pricing to 48¢/kWh making even the average California highway Supercharger cheaper. Or if you wanna pay $4/mo you gotta full charge several times each month to pay that off before you start saving.
Not saying Superchargers are cheap, just don't buy the OP's idea that CCS is. California has quite a lotta FREE CCS (Thanks CALTrans and LADWP) that makes it easy to pay off your CCS adapter quickly, after that it's all gravy.
In GA does EA have a fixed kWh price or is it dynamic and vary from site to site? The SC prices varies from site to site and can change depending on the time of day.EA CCS is still cheaper in TN and Georgia than the vast majority of Superchargers. Im still taking advantage of CCS and saving a decent bit even after the price increasses.
EA uses a single nationwide fee schedule. In GA they are still charging per minute. (For a Tesla $0.37/min or $0.29/min if you subscribe.) Tesla changed to per kWh pricing a little while ago, so they are probably cheaper during off-peak times now.In GA does EA have a fixed kWh price or is it dynamic and vary from site to site?
