220 Volt 50 Amp AC Residential Service
User Provided Invertor to Convert AC to DC
Supercharger Station Only
(1/4 Charge - Supercharge)
Home for Full Charge
NOTE
Home Charging Is Slow Yet Cheaper
Home Charger Can Not Provide
Faster Supercharge (1/4 Charge)
500 VDC @ 350 A
Supercharge Station Can Not
Fully Charge a Tesla
(Heat Limitation)
NOTE
All Gas Savings is an Estimate
My Conclusion:
On distances over 120/240/355 Miles
(Tesla Model Dependent)
You can only accept 1/4 Supercharges
every (1/4) 30/60/90 miles
(Tesla Model Dependent)
unless you find a home charger
connection and have extra time
to complete a more fill-up charge.
