Using Tesla Superchargers & Public Chargers in the UK

How do you charge at a Tesla Supercharger and how do you find free UK public chargers? Today I'm going to show you how much it costs, how fast they are and which apps you should be using to make your charging on the road even easier.
UK public chargers include Pod Point, Polar and Instavolt. I recommend using the free app Zap-Map for locating chargers in your area. You can filter by connector type and cost so if you’re only interested in free chargers, you can do this. This app isn't just for Tesla's either, any EV can use them.
CCS Supercharging will work with the Tesla Model 3 and Y, but the the X and S will need an adapter in order for those to work.
Do you think supercharging is fast enough? Do you think it’s an inconvenience having to stop for 20 - 40 minutes? Who has or hasn't used a Supercharger yet?
Thanks for watching, Chris.

Really helpful video for me as someone looking to get a Model 3 in 2021. I do a monthly 280 mile round trip and dont have a driveway, so the charging network has been a deciding factor in my decision to go Tesla. The horror stories I've read about the remainder of the network make a Tesla the only EV option for me!

Type 2 is for X and S, as they don't have CCS connector, but tesla modified the Type 2 for DC charging. For the new supercharger stations, only CCS will be available and S and X owners will have adapters to compatible with the Type 2. Also, CCS port cannot fit into the charging area for X and S so thats why they use Type 2 for AC and DC too.

In scotland we have something called ChargePlace, you obly have to pay an annual fee of £20 for a swipe card to access the charger as long as you go to a charger which is free to use (which is about 90% of them). I'm, not sure if England has anything like this but it is very useful if you cannot do home charging.

I bought a white long range with white interior. I used your referral code back in December. I too am doing a trip to Cornwall in august, but I have not braved non Tesla chargers as yet. Strange how that creates an apprehension, but the Tesla charging network is so good I’m terrified of the non Tesla network. Given the sheer number of options is the best thing simply to use zap map and just go with that when not on the Tesla network? I have my first referral on my link. Can’t wait to have a few more as the free supercharging is great. If you’ve maxed your referrals and are happy to refer anyone my way, do let me know 😉

I’m not sure at the moment. I’ve read mixed reviews on the current deliveries, some do and some don’t come with them. But the ones that don’t are given a $200 credit for the Tesla store to buy a cable. I bet the MY next week too, so I’ll find out Monday…

I can't stretch to new but am hoping to pick up a pre loved model S circa 2016, the free supercharging : does that need any sort of registration and is it truly free for the life of the car regardless of age or owners as far as your crystal ball tells you?
@SpawnPoiint
@SpawnPoiint 4 жыл бұрын
Yes it’s definitely free for life. It’s linked to the car so will charge for free once plugged in.

Does Zap-Map work outside of the United Kingdom? Also, kWh describes units of battery capacity. It infuriates me to no end when a Tesla KZbinr confuses this with kW, which is the unit of charging power.

I guess it depends how easy it is for you to charge. Can you charge at work? I wouldn't fancy going out of my way every week just to charge the car, but if it was at the office/shops/cinema etc that would be fine.

@@SpawnPoiint I'm an IT consultant and two of the clients office I visit have a charging station although I'm not sure if I'll be allowed to charged there. Also there's a charge station very close to my house and around me but I've always thought the point of owning an EV is to be able to charge at home because it will be cheaper. This is why I thought I'd ask before getting myself into tesla's pcp contract and later regretting it. Just to add, none of my neighbours own an EV as well. Which is like an alarm bell ringing in my ear. What do you still think, is it still a good idea?
@SpawnPoiint

I honestly don’t think I would if I couldn’t charge at home. Being able to walk out to a full charge without worrying is great. I personally couldn’t live with having to plan on a weekly basis.
