Tesla is going to 20 cents per kWh for the Supercharger questions – While

for a Long time offered Tesla customers free lifetime access to a Supercharger station. That an end would come, was already since november known. Now we also know how much money the new customers cost per kWh to their car to load.

Customers who have a Tesla Model X or Model S buy after 15 January will be per kWh that they are at a Supercharger station load, 20 cents to pay. That amount need not be direct to be paid; the first 400 kWh each year for free. That is approximately equal to a range of 1,600 kilometers.

Tesla emphasized in the announcement of the prizes once again that the drives are meant only to quickly some extra power to be able to load and large distances to cover with the cars, so they default to load. It remains better for customers to get their car at home or at work to charge.

Customers who pay for the use of the Supercharger stations do that with a credit card, which they to their web account link. After each session with a Supercharger, the data shown in that account, where the customer bills also can download.

The prices vary by location and are dependent on two things: the local legislation and the energy costs. In some countries, including Germany, paying customers per minute they take their car to charge up at a Supercharger station. For the Netherlands that is not true, here is per kWh of 20 cents paid.

at That price, incidentally, including tax, may be higher. It is according to Telsa, depending on the local price of energy, although it remains the principle that customers should pay than gasoline. The price is for Tesla under cost price, and the company notes in its announcement that the money dedicated to every kWh that a customer’s loads.

The customer must go to pay because Tesla is rolling out its Supercharger network wants to accelerate. The stations are designed to make people long distances to drive, and still not enough spread. In order that faster to realize, the company is also money.

A Supercharger station within thirty minutes to 100 to 120 kWh of power load. Thus a customer can, on average, approximately three hours drive with a speed of hundred miles per hour. It would then average about 19 euro costs to a battery of 100kWh.

three Hundred kilometers of driving with a diesel car would be in comparison with a use of 8 litres per 100 km and a price of 1.58 euros per liter of gasoline as a 37,92 euros in costs. Tesla keeps himself thus to his promise.
