What is the price of supercharging in Texas now?

V3 chargers are going to hit higher peaks. So higher demand charges.

I think Tesla has a way of making those pesky demand charges go away since they could install a battery bank at a supercharger site with an uncooperative utility.

Volta changed some of its free L3 to 30c/kWh

It's crazy how expensive supercharging is when electricity in Texas is so cheap. I am only paying $0.112/kWh in North Texas. Maybe the price will come down as they build more chargers? It seems like they are trying to dissuade people from using Superchargers because they are so sparse in the DFW area.

I don’t know when the last time you renewed or changed plans, but electricity is certainly not cheap now. This largely due to natural gas prices being 3x higher than the recent past.

For me I am in a co-op so it has stayed pretty consistent. For this month it has gone up $0.05/kWh.

You add the PCRF and per kWh so it totals out to $0.0117/kWh

I don't know about Texas, but here in California, charging is free for my S.

Our X has free supercharging as well.

Some Texas s.chargers are 46-48c/kWh during noon-9pm, 23-24c/kWh off peak.

This is good. Assume 3.5mi/kWh, 24c/kWh is 6.85c/mi.
That’s equivalent to:
1) 40mpg @ $2.739/gal, or
2) 30mpg @ $2.059/gal (b/c so few $50K+ gas cars could do better than 32mpg, and 2.059 here is probably 89#, then 87# could be ~$1.899), or
3) 46mpg (!!!) @ $3.154/gal (TX regular 9/11/2022)

If S-Chargers are below 25c/kWh, then even in states with cheap gases like TX, EV is not a very bad choice.

Which is, unfortunately, irrelevant to the topic being discussed.

Already equivalent to a 25-30mpg car (regular vs premium) if your average consumption is 3mi/kWh.

Tesla treats Model 3 as 30mpg and Model X as 22mpg when calculating gas savings
So if MX eqv. to 25-30mpg that's not bad
