Tesla Supercharger network

[Araman0]

I understand that buyers look at the supercharger map before buying a car. The vast majority of buyers in large metropolitan areas will look at their city, see x number of superchargers around their city, see that all highways leading out of the metro are covered, and see that the country (US in my case) in general is well covered for the most part. They may not know from the start that many of the Bay Area's (example city) chargers are often full. I guess once they find out it then helps customer satisfaction to build new superchargers. But how far will Tesla go with supercharger build outs before it starts to become less financially viable to build out more? Should there be superchargers every 50 miles on every highway? Every 10 miles? For me it would be nice if Superchargers were as common as gas stations but I know Tesla would not be able to afford that, since in essence the operational budget of the superchargers needs to be covered with a portion of their annual car sales, even though the superchargers not only serve the cars sold that year but the cars sold over the past 9 years.

Sorry for the ramblings, I totally get the logic behind expanding supercharger locations. But there must come a theoretical point where they will have built and operated all the supercharger stalls they can afford even if coverage isn't 100% complete and if certain locations are still sometimes busy. I've always been intrigued by the financials of the Supercharger network, and when it makes "sense" for Tesla to build superchargers and when it doesn't. I suppose they probably have a formula for # of required stalls per x number of cars, etc.

They changed it awhile ago. It's now a flat rate everywhere in the US depending on if the state allows them to just sell by the kWh or if they have to charge by the minute. In places they can sell electricity by the kWh it's .28 cents no matter where you are. In the states they have to charge by the minute it's now .26 cents when charging above 60kW, and only .13 cents when charging below 60kW (into the taper).

Gone are the days where every state had a different rate. Before there were dozens of possible costs, now it's down to just 3 possible charge ($) rates: Flat Rate, above 60kW, or below 60kW.

Tesla's SC website has a breakdown: Supercharging

No, it isn't the same cost everywhere. You will notice that the page you linked to says "Average pricing information is provided below and specific pricing for each Supercharger location is shown in the navigation application on the vehicle touchscreen."

To know the actual cost you have to look at the Supercharger information in your car.

Ah, you're right! They simplified the website but not the actual pricing, so there's less information available now before you buy. Bummer for perspective buyers.

I've always been on the lifetime unlimited deal so never noticed local pricing was still a thing once it was removed from the website, figured they simplified it for everyone.

The electricity for Supercharger stations becomes much more affordable the busier the station is. Ideally, Tesla would like every stall filled essentially all the time. So, as locations become busier, they are less of a burden on Tesla's finances and could, individually, be providing a profit. This is related to the way that commercial electricity is sold with a very low volumetric cost (e.g. the per kWh cost might be less than 2 cents) but quite significant fixed service/demand costs (e.g. the charge for their peak kW service might be thousands of dollars). It's the relatively empty ones that are really expensive to operate. Though the busier locations will have higher maintenance costs.

 

[XHabjab]

This viewpoint is incredibly short-sighted, and instead you should be asking yourself how many buyers have been tipped over to the buy column simply because the supercharger network is so extensive.

Additionally, Tesla does not foot the bill exclusively for Supercharger build out, maintenance, and power. There are very intricate negotiations that go into each site with cost and revenue sharing for the property owner and Tesla.

I disagree. By back of the envelope calculations, I'd guess that each Supercharger site costs Tesla about a quarter million dollars to install, plus a significant amount to run. It is apparent that there is a lot of wheeling and dealing with local governments, electrical evaluation, getting permits, site surveys etc long before we see any construction activity.We Tesla owners spent a lot on our cars, but we are a bunch of whiney entitlement brats wishing for more Superchargers here there and everywhere. Tesla has put a lot of effort and $$$ into each and I think we'd appreciate it more if we had an idea of the complexity and cost of each.
I'd like to get a better idea of how many cars are sold per Supercharger installed. [Any takers?] How many $$$ that I paid for my car went towards funding a Supercharger?

 

[Electroman]

How many $$$ that I paid for my car went towards funding a Supercharger?

How about this ? - Tesla would have sold only around half of the cars they sold so far without the SC network. Or in other words, SCs are key to Tesla survival and growth, and not just to get "some" additional sales.

How do I know this? Because I am batman.

Let's just say I have an inside source and leave it at that. I don't post conjecture.

It's a tad more than half, actually. The SpC network is key to alleviating the perception of "range anxiety". It is critical to mass adoption.

Per build permit looks like about 150k for an 8 stall v2 now:

The existing supercharger network, yes, fully agreed. What's the value in doubling the supercharger network density in places like the US where the map already looks very pretty for potential shoppers? I'm guessing it won't lead to a doubling in sales. In other words each new supercharger site brings back diminishing returns for Tesla. So this is what I've always been curious about, what should Tesla's goal be for responsibly growing the network without making it too much of a financial burden onto themselves?

There are still many complaints about either no SCs where needed and the SC is always full. Can't increase sales if your current users are unhappy and vocal about it. So Tesla has (or should have) a real strong motive to increase the number of SC locations and the amount of SC stalls at each location.

Given that there are locations where they're unable to cope with the capacity needs as it is, they should really start upgrading all of the high-usage V2 locations to V3, and then repurpose the equipment that they remove, so that the cost of adding superchargers in likely low-volume-but-interesting locations is basically just the cost of labor. I'm sure there have to be places where they think, "We'd like to have a supercharger here, but we can't justify the cost."

This is an interesting concept. Take what I say with a healthy dose of salt, or a shot of your favorite adult beverage. I'm an accountant, not a construction/engineering sort of guy.

Some of the components are pre-fabricated and assembled prior to installation. I would think that to salvage those components would be more expensive than repurposing them. The guts of the Supercharger are an intricate set of wires and computer stuff (that I have no concept of!) that probably need to be replaced periodically as they get dirty or damaged by the elements with extreme cold and heat. The charging cables need replacing periodically too due to user damage to the plug. I am not sure of the charging stacks, whether any of those components can be salvaged or not.

It might be sensible to use any V2 materials that still have some life in them as handy replacement parts for other V2 locations. Perhaps this will permit faster repairs at troublesome locations to get them back in reasonable working order, with the understanding that a complete refurbishing to be done when convenient.

Some of the components are pre-fabricated and assembled prior to installation. I would think that to salvage those components would be more expensive than repurposing them.

True. That said, I'd expect that the only components that are designed specifically for a given site would be the actual power wires between the charging cabinets (usually in a building right next to the station), the conduit (which would likely be reused with larger-gauge wires inside it, adding more conduits in parallel with the old ones as needed), the concrete pads where the charger posts are installed (which again would probably be reused), and the wiring between cabinets/transformers/battery packs. And all of that stuff is pretty cheap.

The wires probably wouldn't be the right length for a new site, but on the other hand, copper is worth 85–90% of the initial wire cost when resold as scrap metal, so even if they couldn't reuse any of them, they still wouldn't lose much. And assuming the wire gauge calculator I used isn't lying to me, they are probably only using 1/0 gauge wire or thereabouts, which costs only a couple of bucks per foot (materials cost). So assuming a mean distance of 100 feet per stall, the difference between the original cost and the scrap metal recovery value is likely on the order of $20 per stall. That's noise.

In fact, I'll gladly volunteer to pay the $240 out of my pocket right now if Tesla will agree to foot the bill for a 12-stall V3 supercharger upgrade in Mountain View and move the existing V2 supercharger to Santa Cruz.

And of course, this also assumes that those parts even have to be replaced. Although V3 probably typically uses 1000 kcmil, at about $30 per foot (materials cost), assuming the labor costs don't eat them alive, they could also do it with four 1/0 cables in parallel for only about $12 per foot. And because they already have 1/0 cable (presumably), they could keep the existing wiring and just add three more identical sets right next to it, space permitting. That approach would likely bring the installation cost down even further.

And that assumes that they didn't over-specify the cabling in preparation for higher-current charging. The best-case scenario would be that they planned for up to 500A (-ish) delivery to begin with, in which case the upgrade involves swapping out the pedestals one at a time, then taking it down for a day to swap out the building transformer and equipment cabinets....

Either way, given that they're still building out urban superchargers (which AFAIK are just V2 superchargers configured to use a fixed 50/50 charge split), I think the only way that repurposing the old gear wouldn't be a good idea financially would be if the incremental labor cost of removing the equipment without destroying it were more than the cost of the equipment, and that seems unlikely given that the charging hardware is designed in a modular fashion for ease of service.

Also, I'm pretty sure I remember reading that the whole "prefab everything" behavior is specific to superchargers in areas with high cost of labor (e.g. California). If your labor costs are cheap, it's cheaper to just build it out on site. So doing things that way by default doesn't necessarily preclude reusing those bits at a new location, assuming it isn't in the Bay Area.

The guts of the Supercharger are an intricate set of wires and computer stuff (that I have no concept of!) that probably need to be replaced periodically as they get dirty or damaged by the elements with extreme cold and heat.

They're in enclosed cabinets, so I wouldn't expect a lot of damage from the elements. Like any other piece of electronics, they eventually do fail. But that's why you build things to be serviceable, so that when one individual charger fails, you can yank it and stick in a new charger, and you're back up and running. Either way, at least in theory, they shouldn't fail that often unless there was something wrong with the design.

The charging cables need replacing periodically too due to user damage to the plug. I am not sure of the charging stacks, whether any of those components can be salvaged or not.

I can't imagine why they wouldn't be able to reuse giant cabinets full of gear. You can absolutely definitely reuse the building transformer; they might even be able to sell it back to the power company and not have to deal with it, though cost-wise it might be cheaper to just add more building transformers next to the existing one and keep it in service. Hard to say.

It might be sensible to use any V2 materials that still have some life in them as handy replacement parts for other V2 locations. Perhaps this will permit faster repairs at troublesome locations to get them back in reasonable working order, with the understanding that a complete refurbishing to be done when convenient.

I doubt they get more than six months to a year out of the cords at a busy supercharger, so it probably isn't even worth shipping the cords to use as spare parts. And the big equipment racks should last for many, many years, so I'm pretty sure using them as replacement parts would just result in warehouses full of replacement parts, and that the storage costs would end up being more expensive than the cost of building new ones when they start failing in a decade*.

* Under sane levels of use; likely much less if the supercharger is full all day every day.

Not disputing but clarifying: Inside the Supercharger stalls are a bunch of electronics with wires criss-crossing about. I have seen them opened up by the technicians. I would think that here in the Valley and elsewhere about the west with official temperatures exceeding 100 degrees and the direct air temperatures likely 15 degrees hotter that the constant expansion and contraction of the metal components would eventually lead to malfunction. Similarly, locations in the higher elevations or higher latitudes would experience sub-zero temperatures from time-to-time.

There are also those green-type hard plastic boards with soldered components and probably other items like transistors or resistors or capacitors that would be subject to these extreme weather conditions too.

When I saw the insides of a Supercharger stall a few years back, there was a bunch of dust and dirt that had accumulated on the interior surfaces, sort of like my computer screen that I do not clean nearly often enough!

You can tell from my explanation that I am just completing my master's degree in electrical engineering.

Sure. But the high-usage superchargers I was proposing to replace with V3 are mostly in California and the eastern seaboard, where temperatures tend to be much more moderate.

Cold temperatures are probably less of an issue than you might expect. After all, the equipment produces considerable amounts of heat when in use, and the enclosures likely trap a fair amount of that heat close to the electronics. This also means that high temperatures seriously suck, of course.

There are also those green-type hard plastic boards with soldered components and probably other items like transistors or resistors or capacitors that would be subject to these extreme weather conditions too.

Solder joints can fail from thermal expansion and what not, but when that happens, they probably just swap in a new board, stick the old one in a reflow oven, and then ship it back out into the field as a repair part.

I'm deliberately ignoring issues like derating electrolytic capacitors for high-temperature use, under the assumption that they probably designed things correctly. If that isn't true, then they'll probably drop like flies, but that would pretty much scream for a need to find a way to quickly rework the failed components en masse anyway, after which such issues would no longer exist, thus making those issues largely moot.

When I saw the insides of a Supercharger stall a few years back, there was a bunch of dust and dirt that had accumulated on the interior surfaces, sort of like my computer screen that I do not clean nearly often enough!

That's probably because they don't have any sort of air filters on the cooling fans, and they have to bring a lot of air through them to keep them from overheating. But when I hear "exposed to weather", I usually interpret that to mean "getting wet", which obviously must not happen, or else we'd have a lot more supercharger fires. I'm not sure how exactly they deal with that, exactly, beyond that they obviously must.

Either way, even if those parts have gone through half of their usable life after just three or four years of high-use charging, the half that's left over would probably last for decades as a low-use supercharger, assuming all other conditions are roughly equal. And the cabinets themselves will last forever, if you just keep swapping out components as they fail. And transformers and other heavy iron will also last approximately forever as long as you don't let the oil levels get too low and you periodically exchange the oil to prevent moisture buildup.
