There is possibly a small penalty for the intermittent, high-power use.

- dzhiurgis 4y agoI think most superchargers have batteries to offload and balance the load
- Symbiote 4y agoI tried to find out whether that was the case, and it isn't clear. At least some have batteries, and the batteries can provide at least some of the required power, but the capacity of the battery at a particular location seems to be obscure. I'd guess it depends very much on the power available to Tesla at the location. In some locations there will be plenty of power with little additional cost from the electricity company (e.g. near an industrial area), in others the opposite (isolated motorway rest area).
