Hi Teslarati!
My girlfriend rented an Air B&B and it has 240 volt, 50A charging in the garage, untested. It looks like a clean installation with a Powerwall. She won't be heading there until Nov. some time.
Trouble is, the Air B&B owner is estimating a charge cost to be $25 a night (for L2 charging) and wants to charge her $50. Obviously, even the $25 starting price is ludicrous, let alone doubling it. I told her to flip the script on him because she's doing him the favor of testing this untested new outlet, and then he could assess the real cost and built that in to his rental fee later without calling it out (same cost, EV or no EV). This way he doesn't have to police it, ask about one's car, etc.
Here's the question. Anyone know what it costs to charge a Tesla or any EV, let's say, from 20% to 80% or more, with a L2 charger @50amp?
I can't be more than $5 off peak, right?
Any help is appreciated. I want to rip the guy a new one (or give him strict terms in response) but the girlfriend is way too agreeable. I've coached her on how to handle it, but I'd really like some real numbers if possible.
Thanks!
