What are peak/off peak Supercharger rates and times?

[Gulfcoaster]

Hi all,

I saw the hours and Kw rates published somewhere recently that showed the the cost to Supercharge, if I remember correctly the rates were half during off peak times. Does anyone know where this is or what the times and rates are for Supercharging? I cannot for the life of me find it.

Thanks much

Best place to get that information is from your car's navigation system.

It very much varies by specific location. Here in New Mexico, I've not yet seen a Supercharger that had any time-of-day system for Supercharging rates at all, though the prices certainly differ by location. For example, on my delivery acceptance trip back from Colorado Spring to Albuquerque in March 2022, the rate at Trinidad, CO was the highest, then 39 cents/kWh, while the Uptown charger here in Albuquerque when it opened was only 26.

As RayK has advised you, go look at charging locations from the nav screen of your car. You can even look at places far away. Using that method, I noticed that lots of California Bay Area Superchargers have rates which are strongly dependent on the time of day.

I have the same question but do not yet have my Model Y to go check it on.

I've not been able to find it anywhere.

apparently it's a great big secret and until you get the car you cannot know how much it's going to be

Paid $0.45/kWh last weekend to Paso Robles and back. Still saved money; gas was ~$7/gallon.

With 2022.36.2 , you can see rates and If there are TOD (time of day) rates by touching the supercharger icon on the Tesla cars map. Along with how busy it is now and at different times.

Wow! Only 4 pricing tiers!

And what's with the peak solar in Temecula being the peak pricing tier? They really are more concerned about chasing people to a later time to charge so they don't need to build more Superchargers there.

I noticed the top peak rate has increased to 65 cents/kwh at some point. Also not sure when they added all these other tiers...
But this is why when I visit my brother, I use EA Pass+, lol...

If you are in the LA basin check out the free DCFCs provided by LADWP. They are only 50kW, so not as fast as Tesla charging to be sure, but with Tesla charging 65¢/kWh all day you could rack up a $50 tab on a single charge. Insane!

Of course, with all this promoting free charging, I got beat by a Model Y to the Maxwell Rest Area on my trip up hwy 5 yesterday, so perhaps I should keep my trap shut.

Last time I went to Redding I was checking those out.

When I drove thru the 5, there was always a bolt charging at them.. My brother told me about a free one in Pasadena somewhere, but I haven't checked it out yet.

Probably this one:

Marengo Parking Structure (1) | Pasadena, CA | EV Station

50kW CCS/ 42 KW CHAdeMO DCFCs on garage top floor. 5 stations of free Level 2 charging by elevators on lower basement level 2. Enter from Arroyo Parkway (between Green & Colorado) or from Green (between Arroyo & Marengo) - Green is one way east (entrance is closed most of the time) Please...

That has to be a torque infested wheelie monster!

I want one!

My Vectrix electric motorcycle never was more torquey than my Tesla, no chance of popping the front wheel

Thats sad.

I can dream... someone will make one eventually, and I will want it!

The batts are awfully heavy, the motors may be torquey, but to pick up that whole pack and you, that's hard.
