Its midday and there is a good distribution among the various local San Diego Supercharger stations. Normally Qualcomm is overloaded at this time.
It’s interesting that Tesla has different costs for each of the San Diego Superchargers.
$0.36 Qualcomm
$0.34 Del Sur
$0.31 Carlsbad
I wonder if Tesla owner behavior will mirror ICE behavior with people driving the extra miles to save pennies at the pump for gas. If they lowered downtown A Street Supercharger down to $0.26/kWh, would more people use it?
Now, Tesla may have the ability to throttle individual Supercharger costs and perhaps control overcrowding by instituting higher fees during peak usage. If pricing becomes dynamic, it will encourage those that pay to Supercharge to charge up their cars with the minimum required to make it back home where they should get the lowest electric rate.
Tesla can certainly modify Supercharger usage behavior now with dynamic pricing.
