That's for L2 charging and the rate seems fair.
After living with level 1 home charging for the last year (works for us but we have to hit a supercharger if we do anything other than work driving) - whatever place we move to this year for my wife's post-doc work - will DEFINITELY have a level 2.
Since no one other than Teslas can use the SuperCharger network, it's proprietary until Elon opens up the charging network to non Teslas.After living with level 1 home charging for the last year (works for us but we have to hit a supercharger if we do anything other than work driving) - whatever place we move to this year for my wife's post-doc work - will DEFINITELY have a level 2.
I'll even take a dryer outlet (I have the adapter for it). I was able to get 23mi/hr on my parent's house's dryer outlet. That sounds like heaven after a year of 4-5mi/hr.
Most of the level 2s around where we live (the venue that I was at too) - significantly increase their costs after 4 hours to keep the spots free.
I wonder how much it would cost to add a CCS adapter as there is a lot of those around that are fairly empty. I imagine most don't take too kindly to a Tesla plugged into those (I would frown on it if I was a non-Tesla owner I guess). 350kW sounds nice.
Edit: Wow $250 for the adapter and who knows how much for the refit to add the capacity to use the adapter.

Edit2: Looks like $300-$500. Ouch.
Tesla is opened up in the UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Iceland, Italy but yup not the USA. Go figure
You all need more demanding customersLOL that supercharger is close to where I live. I go there all the time.
It is not opened up in the UK completely , it’s approximately 11 supecharger locations that are.Tesla is opened up in the UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Iceland, Italy but yup not the USA. Go figure
Just checked and there is no specific tax on the electricity in the Seattle City Light bill, just charges from $0.10 to $0.13 per KWH. The base rate applies to the first 1000 KWH and then it jumps to the higher rate.
Got it. You are correct; GPS would make things a little complicated.
There are taxes on the electricity used at home. But at the workplace parking lots the electricity is consumed by the heaters used to keep the oil, antifreeze, and battery slightly warm during the winter. The cost of the electricity by the employees for parking is covered by the parking fee. The employee is aware of this fact, too. No business can operate spending more than what it makes.
That is relatively cheap for EV registrations at the moment. Another poster said somewhere above that he pays over $1,000 (if I well remember), for registering hist F-150 ICE truck in CA.
GPS was your recommendation. I would never recommend something so intrusive. ( There is much better tech available. ) A couple of senators, lobbyists and a few billion dollars could do even better. ( no sarcasm in the last statement, the frustration is that they still have NOT done it ).
Is that currently calculated when fueling in one state and then driving through another?
Wow, if that's the one in the Ontario city parking lot, we are using the same !LOL that supercharger is close to where I live. I go there all the time.

(Our red Tesla in the pic).
The free ones are in the back - yeah - we have to use that adapter for it to work with our cars - it's a nice charge rate.
Yep, that's the one! Very nice truck!
Haha, some of the latest Tesla Superchargers that Tesla installed over the last year (at least ours anyway) have a row of free 30-50amp Tesla chargers that use the J1772 adapter plug.
electrek.co
As a Tesla M3 2018 owner, for me, I use the J1772 adapter regularly as it works on most of the surrounding 3rd party stations around Southern CA.
Corrections very welcome.My wife wants a Model Y - that's going to be "her" car when finances allow (probably won't be a for at least a year or two, heh). If you get one, definitely let us know how it goes
.Yeah SC costs are ridiculous. In 2019 I drove from Virginia Beach to Orlando and back for like 80 bucks. I don't think you can even get to Orlando for that price these days (I could be exaggerating).As a Tesla M3 2018 owner, for me, I use the J1772 adapter regularly as it works on most of the surrounding 3rd party stations around Southern CA.
That or I just go to a Tesla Supercharger but ever since Tesla 2-3xed the cost of charging from 8am-11pm I usually avoid those if I can help it.
Some of the faster 3rd party chargers require a CCS refit and adapter (Tesla owners are waiting in a very long line to get these). This is fairly expensive tho ($200-$500?) but there are a lot of CCS chargers around.
And the older one I believe is a CHAdeMO charger - you can get an adapter for that but it's SUPER expensive and becoming more rare. Usually you see CCS and CHAdeMO chargers together with 1-2 J1772 chargers on the end. (At least where I live). The J1772 chargers are usually REALLY slow 6-6.6kWhr - but they're popping up all over slowly.
So, I only have the J1772 adapter (came with my used Tesla from Tesla) and it works for me. I don't think I'm going to get the CCS refit even if I have the chance because what we're doing is working for us now. I just wish supercharging costs would go down between 8am-11pm.
I'm a fairly new EV owner (Feb 2022) so consider the above observations from a novice.
Yes, I have a small business and keep track of my charging costs.
Gee, I hope city of Ontario does not start charging money for use of the Tesla Destination L2 chargers...
