So before the price hike on March 2, 2022, I was paying ~$13 to charge my Model 3 to 90%. Now the same charging session costs ~$27. What gives? Since it's cold right now, I can only get about 250 KM of real-world range. That means I'm paying $10.8 per 100 KM. There are also parasitic losses due to my car being parked on the street for the time being (my neighbourhood is under construction).
With my old Prius and today's gas prices, it's only $40/tank for 450 KM of real-world range. That means it's only $8.89 per 100 KM and cheaper than a Tesla. Yes, I know I can charge at home for much cheaper but how is Supercharging so expensive now? This seems a bit ridiculous. I understand Tesla needs to price Supercharging at a fair price, but the recent price hike translates to a 100% increase. Seems unfair given that the Canadian market has very stable electricity prices and has not gone up accordingly.
