Where I’m located, Supercharger prices are ~4x business electric rates. That’s something like $15 profit per charge. No idea on infrastructure costs or usage though.
- secabeen 2y agoBusiness electric service often has a demand charge in addition to the usage rates; superchargers could easily incur a lot of cost on that element.
- matthewdgreen 2y agoTesla’s entire business revolves around batteries. They have a huge opportunity to install batteries onsite that spread usage over times when high demand charges don’t apply. There’s some loss in that, but still could make sense if demand charges are really high. I’ve been waiting to see Tesla roll something like this out, but presumably it’s not pressing right now.
