The Tesla Team - September 11, 2017
It is extremely important for our customers to be able to easily charge their cars.
The most convenient way to charge is to plug in overnight at home, and for most people, this is all that is needed.
However, for customers who use their car for long distance travel, there is a growing network of Superchargers located along highways on popular driving routes.

The World’s Fastest Charging Stations
Superchargers enable travel to your favorite destinations and charge Model S and Model X in minutes.
Stations have multiple Superchargers to get you back on the road quickly and are located near restaurants, shopping centers, and Wi Fi hotspots.

We have also installed thousands of Destination Charging connectors at hotels, resorts and restaurants that replicate the home charging experience when you’re away from home.
Now, as part of our commitment to make Tesla ownership easy for everyone, including those without immediate access to home or workplace charging, we are expanding our Supercharger network into city centers, starting with downtown Chicago and Boston.
|
Our expanding infrastructure includes home charging, Destination Charging, and Supercharging for long distance travel.
Each year, owners receive 400 kWh of free Supercharger credit, enough to drive about 1,000 miles.
These credits cover the long distance driving needs of most owners, so road trips are completely free.

Supercharger stations in urban areas will be installed in convenient locations, including supermarkets, shopping centers and downtown districts, so it’s easy for customers to charge their car in the time it takes to grocery shop or run errands.
They also have the same pricing as our existing Superchargers, which is far cheaper than the cost of gasoline.

Superchargers in urban areas have a new post design that occupies less space and is easier to install, making them ideal for dense, highly populated areas.
To increase efficiency and support a high volume of cars, these Superchargers have a new architecture that delivers a rapid 72 kilowatts of dedicated power to each car.
|
Superchargers deliver energy rapidly, and gradually slow down as the battery fills.

This means charging speeds are unaffected by Tesla vehicles plugging into adjacent Superchargers, and results in consistent charging times around 45 to 50 minutes for most drivers.
We will continue to expand our charging networks so that Tesla owners always have abundant and reliable access to charging wherever they go.

These credits cover the long distance driving needs of most owners, so road trips are completely free.

Less Than the Cost of Gas - Model S

Customers who travel beyond the annual credit pay a small fee to Supercharge - only a fraction of the cost of gas.

Your vehicle automatically alerts you when it has enough energy to continue the trip and with the extensive network of Superchargers along popular routes, charging above 80% isn’t typically necessary.
Network Expansion
We are at work around the globe constructing new sites to enable additional routes and expand popular stations.

In addition to Superchargers, we have a growing network of Destination Charging Partners with dedicated Tesla charging.

Find Destination Charging sites at places you will want to stay for several hours or overnight.

Supercharging
Supercharger stations are conveniently located near desirable amenities like restaurants, shops and WiFi hot spots.
Each station contains multiple Superchargers to get you back on the road quickly.
|
Superchargers allow Tesla drivers to plug in and in approximately 30 minutes have the required charge to get them to their next destination.
Major transit corridors with 24 hour access to safe, well-lit amenities are ideal locations for Supercharger installations.

Below are additional program details which apply to Model S and X under the Supercharger program.
• 400 kWh (~1,000 miles) of Supercharger credits are awarded annually.
• For usage above the complimentary annual credits provided, a small fee applies.
• In North America, pricing is fixed within each state or province. Internationally, pricing is fixed within each country. All prices include taxes and fees.
• Where possible, owners are billed per kWh (kilowatt-hour), which is the most fair and simple method. In other areas, we bill for the service per minute.
• When billing per minute, there are two tiers to account for changes in charging speeds, called “tier 1” and “tier 2”.
• Tier 1 applies while cars are charging at or below 60 kW and tier 2 applies while cars are charging above 60 kW. Tier 1 is half the cost of tier 2.
• Tier 1 also applies anytime your vehicle is sharing Supercharger power with another car.
• Supercharger pricing information may be viewed on the touchscreen and is summarized below.
