Default Tesla Raises Supercharger Prices 19% - Now Twice As Expensive As A Toyota Hybrid

Tesla increases its U.S. Supercharging price to $0.31 per kWh. Assuming a $0.26 baseline last week, that’s a 19% increase.

In a Model 3, which goes 3.8 miles per kWh, that means the cost is $0.08 per mile.

In contrast, a Toyota Prius, which yields 52 MPG, will cost only $0.04 at the current U.S. average gasoline price.

As you can see in the table above, the prices ranged from $0.21 to $0.34 per kWh. Only Hawaii is now lower than what it was before this week, as best we can discern from the Tesla price list. Tesla does say that this $0.31 per kWh price applies, except in places where it does not. And where does it not apply? Tesla’s price list doesn’t say. Until last week, the Tesla price list specified the prices on a per state basis. That previous transparency is now gone, at least in that format.
Big worry for us Europeans that dont live in houses... we have to rely on public chargers and I already noticed this year that European charging network prices are quite steep. So unless there is some huge change in government regulation where cost of gas vehicles goes up significantly, I dont see this revolution happening in this way.

Europe has ridiculously high electric costs in many places too and most don’t even have air conditioning, so charging a car every night is not cheap.
