(via EV.network) ] We knew that the upcoming Model 3 would have access to the Tesla Supercharging network, it has been a staple of the talking points from the company since the car was introduced. But we also heard that it won’t be “free” at the same time, as it is for the Model S and X (and by free we really mean “included in the MSRP”). How future Model 3 users would gain access, and at what cost has been a topic of discussion ever since. Will it be pay as you go? Standard with more premium trim levels? How would the Supercharging sessions be charged? By visit? By month? By kWh? Today, the website EV.network may have figured it out, as they uncovered some new bits of added code on the company’s MyTesla page. One of the new sections has a spot ready for Supercharging payments to be made via credit card: New Section Of Code Reveals Tesla’s Plan For Model 3 Supercharging Access And another where it lists the accumulation of “Supercharging Credits”, and it appears to suggest that Supercharging stops for the Model 3 will be billed by kWhs!

If it’s just a matter of plugging in and all authentication and billing is automatically done via a data connection with the car, billing by the kWh to a credit card on file, then it’s a seamless, easy, no hassle process. Tom Moloughney August 30, 2016 at 6:11 pm This was inevitable. I really hope they move to a pay-to-use model for all of their new vehicles while honoring the existing owners that were promised free for life. Free, unlimited access only fosters abuse. The sooner they abandon that the better. As more and more Teslas hit the road they need to make sure the people using Superchargers really need to, and they aren’t just doing so because it’s free. MTN Ranger August 30, 2016 at 6:42 pm Some states/localities it is illegal to resell electricity by the kWh. I wonder how they will get around this? Possibly by time? ... VazzedUp August 30, 2016 at 6:46 pm This may be where SolarCity comes in, as they (I believe) are a power generator and may be able to sell. Carl Anton Stenling August 30, 2016 at 8:57 pm In Norway we have extensive experience from crowded fast chargers. Billing by the minute is the preferred method to avoid queues. To handle different charging power available depending on multiple users they could dynamically adjust the minute rate (1x,2x etc). I also hope that Supercharger use will be more expensive than normal fast chargers so that Superchargers are used only when necessary. SparkEV-Fiat500-Leased - M3 Reserved - Bolt- TBD August 30, 2016 at 11:02 pm Chargepoint and Blink are routinely .49-.59 /kwh, so that’s not an outrageous price. Charging at home is key and anyone doing it elsewhere is wasting both time and money. That’s why superchargers along the freeway makes no sense to me — anything more than a 15minute dwell/refuel snack/potty break is too long for non-destination stops–hence the limits of any EV. The key to success for this generation is largely range anxiety free mobility in an urban area. Adi August 31, 2016 at 8:36 am This will not work in Quebec. It is illegal for any company other than Hydro Quebec to sell electricity by the kWh. They only way they can “sell” electricity is to continue with the current model of prepaying it with the car for unlimited charges OR with paying per charge with no limit whatsoever on kWh being used. A compromise for sure.. ] ...
