It's live and lonely!

Haha not for long! This one is way overdue and is going to be slammed. Great to see it open!

I think it will relieve the jam at the Goleta location. People coming down the 101 from the North will get routed through the 154 to here instead. Plus there is the Montecito SC as well. I think we will see about 50% capacity on weekends with three locations for the short term.

My son lives just two blocks away. He has no charging at his condo, so this is handy.

 

[Motion122]

This has to be my favorite SC station returning home from LA. There is hardly anyone here after business hours and it's literally right off of the freeway and less than 2 miles from where I live. Too many people leave their shopping carts free to roll at the Goleta location.

Who has the on and off peak charging rates at this location? Both of my m3's have free charging but would be good to know when it expires.

There are no on/off peak rates at the SB, Montecito, or Goleta locations.. closest one with that is the Oxnard supercharger

That could be good or bad. Do you know the SB rates? How about the Oxnard one? Thanks.

Not sure but think its the high 30 to low 40 cent rate.. Oxnard off peak is low 20s.

Santa Barbara is expensive.

I just checked my charges - I don't charge in Goleta or SB as I charge at home off peak at 19 cents but once did in Montecito - it was 37 cents.. and once in Thousand Oaks off peak at 24 cents

 

[RickParker]

Wow. In Texas we go nuts when we see 13 cents, but or Austin - the liberal bastion of the state.

Are you saying supercharger rates are 13 cents per kWh?

Both the TO locations are 24 cents? That is an options returning from a long trip. Likely start charging at home(have Tesla solar and dedicated 60 amp circuit ready) or at my shop when the time comes. I am pretty sure I am in the same rate bracket as you.

Time to move to TX!

Its fine though.. for the most part - we don't use air conditioning here... although at times I wish I had it at home

Thank you very much for the info!

Montecito is actually the least expensive of the three! Interesting...

Well Montecito is 72 kW while SB and Goleta are 250.. Oxnard is 150.. TO at the Mall is 72 while the one in Westlake is 150

Does that mean Simi is the same price as SB/Goleta? DTSB is supposed to get some SC's, let's see what those end up to be.

Not sure about Simi - I don't drive through there.. See my post in the Ortega Garage thread
