NACS Extension Cable Coming From Tesla

[Cosmacelf]

The claim that Tesla is the only charging network that is "actually making money" and/or breaking even... Well, yeah, I am going to challenge that one. Most of the Supercharger locations that I have encountered in my travels look like this.

You obviously don’t live in Southern California! The chargers down here are always busy.

Tesla has stated that they run the SC network at or near breakeven. Look at the financials of any public charging network company and you’ll see they are far from breakeven.

And then look at NEVI funding bids. Tesla bids are anywhere from 10% to 50% cheaper than others. That gives you an indication on how inexpensive their hardware and install costs are compared to others.

Yes, new NEVI funding requires longer cables, Magicdocks, CC readers and screens. All of which costs more money, which the govt pays for.

NEVI funding pays a portion of the cost.

Well, the country is bigger than California.

There are a lot of Superchargers out there sitting idle. Opening them up turns the Supercharger network into a real business that can stand up on its own.
