Tesla set to be impacted greatly in one of its strongest markets
"At my local Supercharger, it costs $0.47 from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and just $0.18 from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. That means if you can wake up a little earlier or go to bed a little bit later, you'll save nearly three times the money. This is not to say that I never charge during peak hours, but I try to save the longer charges for off-peak hours."
"I bought a Tesla without having perhaps the biggest advantage of owning an electric vehicle: home charging. People told me it could be done, others said it eliminated the purpose of owning an EV. I knew I wanted a Tesla, and I knew I could probably get away with not having access to charging at home. I traded my ICE vehicle for a Tesla Model Y: here's how it went"
A Tesla Model Y was acquired without access to home charging and alternative charging options were planned. Nearby Superchargers, low-level grocery charging, and the included Mobile Connector provided charging flexibility. Limited driving needs and close proximity to errands reduced daily range requirements. Supercharger pricing has large time-of-day differences, for example $0.47/kWh during peak and $0.18/kWh off-peak, enabling substantial savings by scheduling longer charges overnight. Strategic use of off-peak hours and occasional public charging reduced overall cost and maintained convenience, making EV ownership feasible without installing home charging infrastructure.
