I get the time efficiency issue. I read the article and the “top comment” is from a guy who says he has needed to go 100% for certain legs of his USA road trips. I’m just wondering what the surcharge for this corner case is.
- natch 3y agoIn the past surcharges for the arguably adjacent, but even more inconsiderate, case of staying past full have only applied when the station has more than 50% of its plugs occupied. So if one chooses off-peak travel times the charges could be avoided in some cases with luck and planning, if the policy works that same way. But the infamous travel legs like Kingman to Flagstaff are quickly being remedied with network buildout, so soon the people doing this kind of top of the range charging will be only the most inconsiderate folks… who therefore should pay.
- natch 3y agoJust a guesstimate but such a person should probably be prepared to cough up an extra $15-25 if he really insists on charging to the top. If lower efficiency cars like VW ID4 start using the network, it will be a money printing machine for Tesla.
