Again, I’d check what you’re paying for home consumption and that should give you an idea of what residential power costs are.So I'm in South Florida. This was actually in Boca Raton at a supercharging station at the mall. So I'm now thinking 44 cents per kilowatt hour is way too much and I should not go back there again or at least not at that time. It was around 5: 00pm.
It seemed really high to me. I thought it would be paying like 20 cents because as someone mentioned above that's like paying almost 4 hours for gas as the equivalent which defeats the purpose of driving an electric car lol.
Don't forget that the app will show you what the prices are for all the different times you might arrive.So I'm now thinking 44 cents per kilowatt hour is way too much and I should not go back there again or at least not at that time. It was around 5: 00pm.
Well THAT makes me happy. Just got my MSP yesterday. My house is 16 cents/Kw and for giggles, I topped off at a Supercharger at the local grocery mart for 37 cents/Kw today. Us "Florida Mans" seem to have some good rates, but I'm also considering moving out to Oregon, so I like what I'm reading hereOurs is 9.6 cents per kilowatt hour...not tiered . Sorry, the state is now full and borders are closed.
As you've seen from other replies, yes, that is not cheap. However, there are many SC's out there charging that rate, at least during part of the day. Then too, you get to some remote town and the only gas station in town charges a lot more than the ones on the interstates.Hey guys, I'm a new Tesla Model S plaid owner and I just did my first charge and two questions. One is 44 cents per kilowatt hour expensive? And is this rare going to change per town like compared to an expensive fancy town Is it going to be more expensive than like a cheaper not as nice town?
Depends on the battery. If you have an LFP, charge to 100%. Otherwise don't do it unless you need the range and use that charge pretty quickly. Don't let it sit for long over 80%. (Yes, 80.)Also, does it matter if I charge it to 100% every time with a supercharger or should I really keep it to like 90%?
Rates vary around the state. Our electric provider is a non profit organization, so rates are low. There are 40 Electric providers in Oregon, and the rates vary from 7.8 K/w to 18.4 K/w. My home rates are less as we have a grid tied solar system. All of that could/may change as the amount of rain and the amount of water in rivers has gone down, climate change at work. Over %50 or our electricity is produced by Bonneville Dam, another % 18 by solar and wind.Well THAT makes me happy. Just got my MSP yesterday.

In FL also and paying around 16 cents/kW @ home and 33-36 cents at FL superchargers. To preserve the battery, I charge to 100% only when needed for travel.Hey guys, I'm a new Tesla Model S plaid owner and I just did my first charge and two questions.

I'm not aware of Tesla recommending to keeping the battery charged to 80%. It is however noted on the app recommended not to charge past 80% for daily driving.Tesla recommends keeping the battery charged up to 80%. Unless taking a road trip in which case 100% would be fine once in a while.
I specifically wrote "up to 80%". But hey, if you want to nitpick sure, go aheadI'm not aware of Tesla recommending to keeping the battery charged to 80%. It is however noted on the app recommended not to charge past 80% for daily driving.
What is going on out there with gas prices? That's almost double NH ($3.50); even more than avgas nearby ($5.86).Yeah, expensive is all relative… I’m in San Diego right now actually, renting a Model Y from Hertz. Just supercharged it for 50 cents/kwh, but the gas station across the street here in La Jolla is $6.49…
Not exactly like that, no. It's not dynamic in the sense of real-time adjustment based on how many are charging. But many stations do have different rates for different times, often to match time of use rates that are passed on by the utilities, and the lower demand / overnight times are cheapest. But a station won't just drop to a cheap rate in the middle of the afternoon because there's only one person there.I see the prices do go up if more people are at the station too is that a thing?
I’d drive a hybrid before I paid that nonsensical rateDuring the day it's 80+ after 4PM until PM though. I think SD is one of the worst in the country electric pricewise.
Gas in SD is nearly $7/gal right now, so the electricity is still cheaper somehowI’d drive a hybrid before I paid that nonsensical rate
Did you really see such a dynamic and fluctuating price based on how many people are there?I see the prices do go up if more people are at the station too is that a thing?
