    Tesla charge pricing announced

    A while back, Tesla said they were going to stop giving lifetime free charging with new (2017) cars, and switch to an annual allowance with top-up fee for use of their chargers.

    Today, they announced the pricing: £0.20 per kWh, in addition to the 400kWh per year included with the car.

    1 kWh gets you 3.8-4.2 miles on paper (probably closer to 3, real-world) on a Model S, and a full charge from empty at a Supercharger will be between £12-£20 depending on the battery size in your vehicle (for "253"-"381" miles of range)

    Thoughts? 5-7p/mile seems reasonable to me, and it's not much higher than the UK average of about 12p/kWh to charge at home

    That's a big change in policy from unlimited mileage down to 1,200 / year.

    Not bad, but it'll go up - think I'm around 18p per mile in my not particularly economical petrol

    How many times can you do 0-62 on one charge? I watched a video this morning of the new Ludicrous+ mode... WOAH! I want a go!

    Re: Tesla charge pricing announced

    Thats more expensive than Polar (9p/kWh + VAT ) - which people seem to scoff at. That said Its not realistic or sustianable to expect free electricity without limits.

    We switched over to economy 7 and made use of the charge timer on the leaf. My Pv setup isn't really beefy enough to charge the car unless I do it off the 13A socket.
