85-534: The Tesla Supercharger network is an electric vehicle fast charging network built and operated by American vehicle manufacturer Tesla, Inc. The Supercharger network was introduced on September 24, 2012, as the Tesla Model S entered production, with six sites in California and Nevada. As of July 2024, Tesla operates a network of 6,500 Supercharger stations with nearly 60,000 connectors. The network

These stations provide temporary stations for nearby events, expand capacity during peak travel seasons, or can be deployed when a station needs to be taken offline. The Megapack can charge up to 100 vehicles before being depleted. V4 charging posts began to roll out in early 2023 and have longer cables for charging vehicles from other automakers. The charging posts have

On July 1, the House passed an amended $ 715 billion infrastructure bill focused on land transportation and water. On May 27, Republican senator Shelley Moore Capito presented a $ 928 billion plan, and on June 4, increased it by about $ 50 billion; this was quickly rejected by
510-486: A 2014 filing with the SEC, Tesla reported an "estimated useful life of 12 years". Most car charging occurs at home or work, a situation that Tesla has compared to cell phone charging. As of 2014, less than 10% of charging came from Superchargers. For 2021, Tesla states the network had 99.96% uptime (at least 50% daily capacity) and its power was 100% renewable (through solar power on-site and through purchasing electricity which
595-449: A 350 kW charger equipment cabinet, but up to three cabinets can share power among themselves via a DC bus. In practice, in most cases, this allows each post to deliver maximum power regardless of nearby charging sessions. The V3 charge posts use a liquid-cooled cable which allows the cable to be thinner and lighter while delivering more power. Tesla introduced mobile Supercharger stations in 2019 with several urban supercharger posts and

Since 2019 most superchargers deployed have been able to output as much as 250 kilowatts (kW). As of January 2024 approximately 68% of chargers have V3 or V4 stalls capable of outputting this amount. Usage is typically billed by the energy consumed during charging. To discourage loitering, fees may be charged to customers who remain plugged in after charging has been completed. Tesla typically places Superchargers near major highways at locations with amenities for drivers, such as restrooms, restaurants, and shopping. Some sites also have solar canopies and Megapacks installed by Tesla Energy to offset energy use and provide drivers with protection from

#17327799858181870-411: Is typically billed by the energy consumed during charging. Idle fees can be charged to customers who remain plugged in after charging has been completed to discourage loitering and, beginning in 2023, some sites have begun to introduce congestion charges to discourage charging at high states of charge when charging is generally slower. All charges accrued during supercharging are billed to the Tesla account
1955-479: The GB/T charging standard (an abbreviation of "GuoBiao/TuiJian", translated as "recommended national standard"). The average number of Tesla cars per Supercharger stall was 34 in 2016. As of September 2023, Tesla bids building its chargers at about half the cost of its competitors. Cost estimates per station range from US$ 100,000 in 2013 to US$ 270,000 in 2015, depending on the number of stalls and other circumstances. In

It directly appropriated $ 66 billion for rail over a five-year period (including the Amtrak appropriations), of which at least $ 18 billion is designated for expanding passenger rail service to new corridors, and it authorized an additional $ 36 billion. Most of this funding for new passenger rail lines
2380-449: The 501 sites that had received funding to-date. 10 days later, Musk promised to invest US$ 500M to expand the network this year, which would be "a significant reduction" from the original plans for 2024, according to former Tesla employees, resulting in an estimated 77% reduction in the rate of charging port deployment. The responsibilities for Supercharger construction and contract management have been taken over by Tesla's energy team. Usage

In September 30, 2024, SAE announced its completion of the standardization of NACS as SAE J3400. The implication is instead of a monopoly standard of one single company, it has become now the standard from a well recognized international organization. As of January 2024, most automakers in North America have pledged to switch to

In September 2023, White House data revealed that 60 percent of the Act's energy and transmission funding (up to that point, totaling $ 12.31 billion) had been awarded to states that voted majority Republican in the 2020 election cycle. Of the Act's top ten recipients, seven states had voted majority Republican, with Wyoming ($ 1.95 billion) and Texas ($ 1.71 billion) in the lead. The largest single energy project to receive Act funds
3230-536: The IRS portion of the funding had reportedly been scrapped. Biden stipulated that a separate "human infrastructure" bill (notably child care , home care , and climate change ) – later known as the Build Back Better Act – must also pass, whether through bipartisanship or reconciliation , but later walked back this position. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi similarly stated that
3315-642: The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The Georgetown Climate Center tried to estimate how the $ 599 billion investment for surface transportation in the law can impact emissions from transportation. It created two scenarios: "high emissions" and "low emissions". In the first scenario, from the money dedicated to highways, more money will go to building new highways, while in the second, more will go to repairing existing highways. The other spending areas characteristics are not so different. The first scenario sees increased cumulative emissions over

Initially, owners of cars with CCS1 will be offered a NACS adapter to enable charging at Tesla's network, then, starting in 2025, the manufacturers will begin implementing NACS ports in their new cars. In February, Ford became the first automaker to offer an adapter to customers, allowing Ford vehicles to charge with the adapter on a majority of Tesla's V3 and V4 chargers. Tesla also began rolling out V4 chargers in North America in October 2023 with integrated "Magic Dock" CCS1 adapters and payment terminals for charging vehicles without an adapter or
3740-758: The REPEAT Project, a partnership between the Evolved Energy Research firm and Princeton University 's ZERO Lab, said the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act alone will make only a small reduction in emissions, but as they say: We lack modeling capabilities to reflect the net effect of surface transportation investments in highways (which tend to increase on-road vehicle and freight miles traveled) and rail and public transit (which tend to reduce on-road vehicle and freight miles traveled). These significant programs are therefore not modeled in this analysis, an important limitation of our assessment of

The Tesla battery station performed a few swaps and was discontinued shortly afterwards. "Urban" Supercharger posts were introduced in September 2017. These more compact posts have a maximum power delivery of 72 kW but do not share equipment with other posts, allowing the maximum power to be delivered. These more compact posts are primarily deployed in urban areas such as shopping malls, parking lots, and garages. V3 stations were introduced in 2019 and could deliver up to 250 kW. Up to four posts can share
