Actually, paying a driver to wait at a supercharger costs more than the electricity is worth. So yes, it's totally dodgy.

- martin_bech 9y agoBut charging at a regular charger would take 5-6x longer.
- greglindahl 9y agoAlmost all regular charging happens overnight, with no one waiting.
- dillondoyle 9y agoBut if car is resource not to be wasted it would be driving Uber pax 24/7 minus charging and maintenance. Maybe 3 drivers per car. Sure, fewer pax at 5am but probably dependent on what city/market.
- martin_bech 9y agoYes for regular use, but if you want to use the cars commercially, supercharging will in many cases be better/much faster.
- will_hughes 9y agoYou can purchase a three-phase 230V / 80A wall charging station from Tesla. If you are running a fleet and need a lot of capacity, then you can throw money at Tesla and get a private supercharging deployment (they've done it before).
