Is It Worth It To Charge A Non-Tesla On A Tesla Supercharger? Watch To Find Out! 

Thanks again!

It might bea long time. Tesla is rolling this out very slowly. Maybe 10 sites, mostly in up-state New York so far.

Thanks!

Thanks for watching! As of right now there are 11 sites with magic docks. They are testing them in the real world, likely collecting data, before they roll them out more. When they roll out more they are likely to start in areas that have poor charging infrastructure! Not sure what their timeline is, but knowing Tesla they won’t scale it up until they feel confident with everything.

Hello! I have a video showing how to connect it to A Better Route Planner. I will make a video showing how to use the reader and why it could be beneficial! Here is the ABRP video if you are interested in that! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uo3yDTo7SbU.htmlsi=zCm6Xg0AKSg0o8Au I will try and get it up this weekend!

@@theaverageev thanks. Picking up my leased id4 this week. First non-ICE vehicle

Not a problem! I use the Veepeak BLE!!! You use these links to grab it off of Amazon! Click here to purchase the Veepeak OBDCheck BLE (The one I use!) amzn.to/3qguMdV Click here to purchase the Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ amzn.to/42aMtJc

The app is Car Scanner Pro. It works great on iOS!

I am working on a video about charging costs ice vs ev, Tesla vs electrify America vs evgo vs (you get it).

There is currently only one that Non-Tesla vehicles can use in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area.

@@theaverageevany idea where?

I totally agree, but Tesla wants to control which chargers CCS vehicles can use.

@@theaverageev Which is NOT, of course, reciprocal. Teslas can plug into any DCFC with their available CCS adapter. Elon Isherwell has always been a taker, never a giver.

​@@theaverageevobviously. They have to service their customers. Rest are bound to get sticky seconds, I would think.

​@@Yanquetinothat's because Tesla enable customer service. Why have others not addressed the charging issue.

Car Scanner Pro!

That is a loaded question! Right now as of today non-Tesla vehicles can only charge at locations with the magic dock. Most major automakers have recently made deals with Tesla to gain access to the supercharger network. The first automaker to gain access is Ford and all existing ford owners will get an adapter that they can use to charge on the supercharger network. Then Tesla will gradually let more automakers on to their network. There are currently two companies that have created an adapter, but it is uncertain if they will work on the superchargers once each manufacturer is allowed onto the network. As of right now the understanding is that you will need to Get the adapter from your car’s manufacturer or from Tesla. We shall see if Tesla allows third party adapters! Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions!

@theaverageev This was a big help. Thanks man.

I use the BLE. But you can also get the BLE +

Yes, but not always

Haha. Can’t argue with that…

Likely. This video was prior to all of the announcements. The info about charging speed is still valid though. Charging should still be limited to 350 amps for non-Tesla vehicles.

@@theaverageev the question is will vehicles with native NACS ports put them in the correct spot. It will be years and years before all the pedestals are updated to ones with longer cables.

@@ultrastoat3298 that’s a great question. Volvo I’m and Polestar are the only ones that switched to NACS and have the port in the right place. Ford, GM, and others will have to adjust their cars.

3500 will open.

Yes, Tesla will open the majority of their chargers in North Dakota, Wyoming, and Guam. Just please don't open any in NJ. Enjoy the chargers everyone....those who bought Ford, GM, Stellantis (almost choked on my phlegm) or whatever the #$%^^%% ev you bought.

@@guru2899 I have already used the station in CA and looking forward to a lot more in highly populated areas. Glad to see Elon taking government money to improve DCFC access for CCS cars.

I have an 2023 ID.4 Pro from Chattanooga. It has an updated battery and BMS. It can accept 500 amps and charge up to 180kWish (I've seen as high as 192kw). You can view my charging curve video. 2021s charge at 125kW and 2022s charge at 135kW. Confusing I know, but I'm glad my car can accept 180kW. I am well aware that my car will never get 350kW. You can watch any number of my videos where I show my knowledge regarding this topic. In this video I also state that the charge is giving me all it can. Again because I saw with my OBDII that it was outputting 350 amps (Not kW). My car can accept up to 500 amps so the Tesla Charge is not outputting the full amount of amperage that my car can receive which should be 365Vx500amps=182.5kW. The Tesla chargers are limited for some reason as of right now. Might change over time.

@@theaverageev It looked like your battery was fairly cold so that would decrease how fast it would charge.

@@COSolar6419 the battery was 20 degrees Celsius. Which is ideal! The supercharges only deliver 350amps. So I actually had a near perfect charge session for a supercharger. If they open it up to 500amps for CCS cars then I would get the 182-192kWs!!!

@@theaverageev Apparently I miss read the Carscanner information.

@@COSolar6419 all good! No worries! I use Celsius so that can be confusing. I just find it easier to use!
