HERE’S HOW MUCH TESLA HAS PAID FOR MY SUPERCHARGING! 2 YEARS FREE CHARGING PROGRAM

EV Channels Review

This video details the financial benefit of Tesla's former two-year free Supercharging program, as experienced by the reviewer with his personal Tesla Model 3 Performance purchased in September 2019. The reviewer highlights that this perk was a significant factor in his purchase decision. After analyzing his charging data via TeslaFi, he estimates that he saved approximately $5,000 over two years, equivalent to about 60,000 miles of driving. He calculates this by estimating 19 megawatt-hours of Supercharging at an average rate of $0.25 per kilowatt-hour. While acknowledging this is a substantial saving, he contrasts it with home charging costs, suggesting that for typical daily driving, the savings over gasoline would be more pronounced. For long-distance road trips, he posits that DC fast charging, especially at higher rates like those experienced in Germany, can make EVs more expensive to operate than gasoline cars. Ultimately, the reviewer concludes that the free Supercharging made his decision a no-brainer and expresses satisfaction with the value received, while also noting the discontinuation of Tesla's referral program.
