Tesla finally announced details about the Supercharger costs for new Tesla owners. Any vehicle ordered after January 15th, 2017 will receive 400kWh of charging per year after which they’ll have to pay a fee. In some countries and states, the rates are per minute where there are two tiers. Once you reach 60kWh of charging the 2nd tier pricing kicks in. Since this can be a bit confusing, and the cost would vary by car, I wanted to try and help people figure out how much a trip might cost. Visit this link below to calculate your trip. You’ll want to enter the total distance, starting charge, credits available, and car model. The model adjusts the coefficient used in the calculation of the effective rate. That basically takes into account the added cost of charging beyond 60kWh each time you stop. You could offset this if you only ever charge to 60kWh but the estimate should still be fairly accurate here. // Join me online facebook: https://fb.com/ben.sullins.data twitter: http://twitter.com/bensullins web: http://bensullins.com // Sources Rates - https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/5nns6e/tesla_releases_the_details_of_its_new/ Calculator - https://public.tableau.com/views/TeslaSuperchargerNetworkCosts/US?:embed=y&:display_count=yes // Deals I LIke $1,000 Off Your New Tesla - http://bensullins.com/tesla-discount Get great web hosting $3.95/mo - http://bensullins.com/web-yt 5% off DJI Mavic Pro - http://bensullins.com/mavic // Music Piano & Sax by Joakim Karud https://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported— CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Music provided by Audio Library https://youtu.be/wtnLH5HzGdQ Jazzaddict's Intro by Cosimo Fogg (201) https://soundcloud.com/cosimo-fogg Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Music provided by Audio Library https://youtu.be/hY4yspCQRaM Buddha by Kontekst https://soundcloud.com/kontekstmusic Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Music provided by Audio Library https://youtu.be/b6jK2t3lcRs // Building the Supercharger Network for the Future (tesla.com) The Tesla Team January 12, 2017 Tesla created the Supercharger network to make long-distance travel a seamless experience for drivers. Cars have always represented independence and the freedom to travel wherever and whenever people want to go. To enable this freedom, building a charging network that provides quick, convenient, and long-distance travel is critical to the adoption of electric vehicles. One of our top priorities this year is to significantly increase capacity of our Supercharger network. In November, we announced a change in the Supercharger program that allows us to reinvest in the network, accelerate its growth, relieve congestion, and bring all Tesla owners, current and Model 3, the best Supercharging experience. Tesla Model S and Model X cars ordered after January 15, 2017 will receive 400 kWh (kilowatt-hour) of free Supercharging credits (roughly 1,000 miles) annually on the anniversary of their delivery. We carefully considered current Supercharger usage and found that 400 kWh covers the annual long-distance driving needs of the majority of our owners. As a result, most owners will continue to enjoy the benefits of Supercharging on road trips at no additional cost. If customers travel beyond their annual credit, they will be charged a small fee to Supercharge. In North America, pricing is fixed within each state or province; overseas, pricing is fixed within each country. In most regions, Tesla owners will pay per kWh as it’s the fairest way to pay for the exact energy used. However, due to local regulations, in several regions we will charge per minute of usage instead, though we are actively working with regulators to update the rules. What’s important is that in every region, Supercharging will remain simple, seamless and always significantly cheaper than gasoline. We are only aiming to recover a portion of our costs and set up a fair system for everyone; this will never be a profit center for Tesla. Customers can just plug in, charge up, and access their charging history on our website. To put the affordability of Supercharging into perspective, customers will pay about $15 for a road trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles, about $120 from Los Angeles to New York, about €60 from Paris to Rome, and about ¥400 from Beijing to Shanghai. We are excited to continue the expansion of the world’s fastest and most sophisticated charging network. Additional program details are available here.

  1. Thanks to those of you helping determine a more accurate effective rate. At this point to simplify the calculator I've updated it to use an average between the tier 1 and tier 2 rates. This is only for regions that have the tiered pricing in place. Enjoy!
  2. good work!!!!
    very usefull
  3. From LA to NY is $64$? That's extremely cheap way cheaper than a fuel efficient compact car
  4. your tableu website is missing the field for MODEL TYPE. i see it on your video. but its not on the website.
  5. What about Asia and Australia? I know we have like 5 chargers, but still
  6. 1650km /year ?? i do that every 20 days just for work.
  7. I've not done the maths, but charging per minute in tier 2 is quite expensive, isn't it? because you charge very slowly and get charged per minute... still, not too bad compared to gas cars and everyone knew it would happen eventually (and for the sake of building more stations)
  8. thanks a lot for your quality work 👌
  9. 1:04 kilowatt-hour (energy) not kilowatt (power)
  10. Great Job 👍
  11. strange to see italy with the highest prices... (ironic)
  12. you know it makes sense... can't eat for free all the time.
  13. I have a Tesla 3 on order (Feb 2016) I live in Spain and Sevilla is also my favorite city, but getting there , with Tesla Chargers at the moment at least, would not be so easy. I cant see where I can download your new supercharger network maps. Thanks love your channel and I think I am too old to be a geek.
  14. My question is Lets say you arrive at a supercharger with like 20% remaining on your battery and you plug into a non shared supercharger. Therefore you are going to get above 60kw charging which is tier 2. As the battery fills up like around 80% the charge throttles back. If it goes below 60kw charge rate, do you automatically change to tier 1 pricing or would you still be charged tier 2 rates? That will affect travel expenses based on tier 1 and tier 2 rates.
  15. Thanks for this. Note though, that it is not ONLY the "provinces in the middle" of Canada where there is no supercharging. In fact, your map reveals another hole: New Brunswick, which is the province between Quebec and Nova Scotia. There are no superchargers there.

    But that's not the "hole" story though. Your map does list a charge rate for Nova Scotia. That is likely because Tesla lists a charge rate for Nova Scotia on their site. But in reality, there are NOT any superchargers in Nova Scotia. It is still unclear why Tesla listed a price for that province (but many of us are hoping it means a supercharger there is imminent).

    And there are two other provinces (PEI and Newfoundland) that are not on your map either, because there are no superchargers there. But they are (more or less) islands, so the absence of superchargers there don't prevent you from getting from any one province to any other.
  16. Other scenario is ; 500 miles trip in CA 10 mi range and 10 kwh credit = $35,26.
  17. Very cool, but it doesn't matter, because the answer is always, practically nothing. lol
  18. I think Elon Musk is a joke. Another one lie that you can add to the previous ones.... or more, Ha ha,
    "Superchargers will be free for ever, personal guarantee!" he said. Ok, it's not a lie, it is free... for the first 100 owners! For now.
    He just forgot to point it. A "for ever" that stay for 4 years. like his marriage vows he gave, he didn't gave,
    because he is an atheist! Will it be the same cost on the 3 superchargers in the middle of nowhere in ISRAEL?
  19. Nice work. Greetings from Germany!
  20. Can some one tell me if you can plain a route, Like Freemont CA. to you home, Should wist to drive. Can you get a routing, Show you the Tesla charging stations
