6 Tesla Supercharger electric stations open to the public today in California to enable long road trips in electric vehicles without long stops! expanding to over 100 stations by 2015, Tesla Superchargers placed along well-traveled routes in North America are designed to give road-trippers 1/2 a charge in 1/2 an hour. that’s 150 miles of range with an 85 kWh battery. Electric Charge stops now take minutes! 90 kW Tesla Supercharger stations deliver 4.5 times more electricity to an electric car battery than Twin Chargers. efficiently charge quickly + free when you’re out on the freeway:
"The electricity used by the Supercharger comes from a solar carport system provided by SolarCity, which results in almost zero marginal energy cost after installation. Combining these two factors, Tesla is able to provide Model S owners free long distance travel indefinitely."
Superchargers are located at places you stop: roadside restaurants, rest stops, + shopping centers. pull in, plug in + Model S is ready when you are: “Tesla’s Supercharger network is a game changer for electric vehicles, providing long distance travel that has a level of convenience equivalent to gasoline cars for all practical purposes. However, by making electric long distance travel at no cost, an impossibility for gasoline cars, Tesla is demonstrating just how fundamentally better electric transport can be,” said Elon Musk, Tesla Motors co-founder and CEO. “We are giving Model S the ability to drive almost anywhere for free on pure sunlight.” Tesla by ~mod*mom~ at 18.10.12 © |
