OK so the Semi will get 7 cents per kWh guaranteed (meaning it could get cheaper than that someday). So my next thought is when what rate would it take for the Supercharger 10 miles from my house to be cheaper than charging in my garage (still more convenient to charge at home, this is a hypothetical exploration of years down the road).
Givens:
Assume I'm getting at the supercharger at 25% SOC and adding 40 kWh and then leaving (time required would vary by Tesla used)
$0.16 per minute above 60 kW
$0.08 per minute at or below 60 kW
So the question is what time would be logged and the resulting price per kWh for
S60 (2014)
S85 (2014)
Model 3 LR (2018)
This would be so much easier in a state with per kWh fees, for example Colorado is $0.13 per kWh so no matter the time used it'd just be 40 x 0.13 = $5.20 or just keep it at $0.13 per kWh to begin with since I'm comparing vs my home cost to charge.
Does anyone feel like doing the math and showing your work?
