In the picture below, the invention, which will forever change the world automotive industry, and perhaps the world as a whole. Unique high-speed refills that are very actively building California company TESLA. Motors worldwide quickly and safely charge modern cars absolutely is free. Yesterday no one could believe it. Today, one such refilling calmly works near the house. How is it arranged?
02. Let's start with the fact that this is not an ordinary charge for the electrocar. Tesla Supercharger - These are the stations of heavy charges, which are created for Tesla Model S cars, as well as overgoing sales in 2015, Tesla Model X PARKER. It is possible to charge and budget TESLA 3, which is expected on the market in 2017 at a price of $ 35,000. This refueling Located on parking a large shopping center, that is, the car is charging at that moment when the owner went shopping. 
03. Over the past 2 years worldwide Tesla Motors. Already opened 453 such refills, with a total number of terminals (columns) more than 2500. So what is the difference from traditional electric strokes, which are located in California everywhere? 
04. The main differences are two. It is difficult to believe in it, but charging at the Supercharger station is absolutely free throughout the service life of Tesla Model S. Several years ago potential buyers and the owners who charged their Tesla houses with the help of chargers asked a reasonable question: how to go to tesla car In a long journey? 
05. Then, to solve this, the owner and founder of the company Elon Mask announced the start of building a global network of free high-speed refills, which will be located along all major highways, at a distance of at least 80% of the charge from each other, and kept the word. Already today on Tesla you can travel across America. By the way, the maximum travel range on one charge at the most expensive version of 410 kilometers. Up to 100 km / hour, the car accelerates in 3 seconds. For daily use, of course, it is easier to charge the car at home at night when electricity is much cheaper. Every morning the charge will be full, although most users are enough for several days. 
06. The second feature of Tesla Supercharger is the charging speed, which occurs up to 16 times faster than in traditional stations for electric vehicles and ordinary home charging. According to the manufacturer's application, this cable gives up to 120 kW and gives current directly to the battery, instead of the traditional charger. 
07. Charging the battery on half takes about 20 minutes. 
08. The owner of this car said that it often comes to this shopping center, on the parking lot of Tesla Supercharger, as electricity is provided free of charge and his car is charged completely until it goes for shopping or drinking coffee. 
09. According to him, 100% of the charge can be obtained in less than one and a half hours, while his home charger Allows you to charge the car completely in 8 hours, that is, overnight. Note that you can not buy a supercharger home. For home, only standard portable charging is intended. Below on dashboard It can be seen that on the current charge, the car can already drive around 190 miles (300km), and another 50 minutes left until the end of the process. 
10. At the moment Tesla sold over 70,000 of these world premium cars. It is so much that at some stations Supercharger constantly arise queues. In this regard, the company even began to ask the owners to use stations only during long journeys (as actually it was intended), and at the usual time to charge cars at home. The largest sales market of course US (43,000 pieces). In 2013, in the USA, Tesla sold 18 000
cars and significantly bypassed sales of all luxury classmates (Mercedes S Class ( 13 303 pcs.), BMW 7 Series ( 10 932 pcs.), Lexus Ls ( 10 727 pcs.), Audi A8 ( 6300 pcs.), Porshe Panamera ( 5421 pcs.). TO the rupal market outside America is the Northern Norway country, here Tesla S in general has become the most sold car in the history of the country, bypassing even the budget Volkswagen golf.
Against this technology, traditional cars look full archaic. Once, in an interview with the New Yorker magazine, Vice Presentation of General Motors Robert Lutz said: "All the cleverware here, in General Motors continued to say that to the perfect lithium-yonny battery you need to wait at least ten years. And Toyota's engineers agreed with us. And here - "Bach", from nowhere to appear. And I asked everyone then - why the microscopic California start-up, headed by guys who do not know anything at all car business Could do it, but we are not? It was like a scrap pit that helped push the idea that bucked for a long time. "
It remains quite a bit before the yield of Tesla 3 worth $ 35,000. What do you think when your city appear free refills Supercharger? Or maybe they already appeared? Then share your experience. And in general, buy such a car for $ 35,000?
UPD (6/07/2015):For the second quarter of 2015, Tesla Motors sold 11,507 sedans Model S, which became a record indicator for the company. For the same period a year earlier, the company sold 7579 car Model S. That is, it is 52% sales growth.

The first question arising from a person who is interested in electric vehicles: "How to charge them?". Tesla Model S is considered the first among them, which is worthy of respect. On him and the answer will be based.
The original article and photographs were taken from AUTO.ONLINER.BY
Physics within the school program know everything, it means that they remember what: ammeter, voltmeter and kilowatts.
The container used in the battery electro-automotivers is measured in kilowatt-hours. For the model under consideration, this value is 85 kW / h. This means that the battery can theoretically issue for an hour 85 kW or one kilowatt for 85 hours. This is provided that there is no loss. In reality, it is clear, they are, since the charging speed is not always the same.
Power, i.e. Watt is a voltage (volt) multiplied by current (amp). For a better understanding of the difference between the voltage and power of the current, you can lead an analogy with water. Current strength can be compared with the diameter of the pipe from which water goes under pressure (voltage). When pumping water through a narrow pipe, but under the high pressure, as well as when pumping through the pipe is wide, but going under pressure, you can pump the same volume of this fluid (kilowatt-hour). Only in the second case, the filling process will pass quickly, and in the first will be longer. Continuing to compare further, we get that in order for high voltage Reliable insulation is needed (in the case of water - the thick wall of the pipe), and for a large value of the current force - the cross section (diameter of the pipe).
The most common domestic eurorozets have such parameters: The strength of current -16a and less, and the voltage is 220V. If these two values \u200b\u200bmultiply, we get maximum powerequal to 3520W, or almost 3.5 kW.
No less common in production (in everyday life) are three-phase sockets. They have the same 220 W in each phase, which gives an interface voltage of 380V. The strength of the current is usually equal to 16a. Alternating these three values \u200b\u200b(including three phases) we obtain the power of 10.5 kW (220x16x3). This outlet in europe is five, located in the circle of contacts. Its color is red, so it is often called a "red socket".
There are both "blue sockets" - single-phase (32a), but they have practically no found.
Another nuance: the battery is charged with a constant current, and the network flows the variable, so it is necessary to "straighten". To do this, serves a charger, just as when charging a mobile phone or laptop, a digital camera, etc. Difference is only that this device is installed for charging inside the electrotic.
For model Model s, the base is the base, it is one, and its power is 11 kW. At the request of the client, the second is established. In this case, the power doubles. In addition, the car's kit includes Mobile Connector, resembling the form of the charger, but being in reality the "smart" cable connecting.
For the German market there are two adapters, which also come in the kit. One of them allows you to charge the electric car from the rosette usual, the other - from "red". For American customers, there is a set of single-phase sockets various power. For "Americans", the main limitation is the lack of opportunity to charge a car from a three-phase outlet.
Mobile Connector
For the machines supplied to Europe, a single standard adopted in 2009, according to which the electric vehicles should have for charging the Mennekes Type connector 2. Today it is used in BMW i3, Renault Zoe.And now in Model S. its advantage is that it is possible to work with a current, both alternating and constant, with a network of single and three-phase. And it is much safer than traditional compounds, since the transfer of energy can only begin to connect it with the car and the "achieved agreement" between the last and cable about the type of electrotock and the charging power required. In a car intended for the American market, there will be a more compact unique design connector of the design itself, but not allowing to use a three-phase current.
First charging - on car wash!
Having learned all about sockets and cables, you can proceed to charging itself. The first refueling can be done (in any case, in Belarus) directly in the auto center of the PEUGEOT auto center, where there is a "red socket" and an understanding of employees.
To do this, Mobile Connector is inserted into the socket, then the indicator lights up green. At the opposite end of the cable there is a handle with a button, as well as the Type 2. Connector 2. Click on this button to from the driver's side to rear head The door opened automatically where the connector is connected. Insert it - charging started, as evidenced by three blinking in the LED's headla. In the cabin, on the monitor you can get information about the strength of the current (230V in our case). The overload of the network will be monitored: if the voltage drop will be marked when the power is increasing, or its fluctuation, the current will automatically be limited.
For the new posting, the time of reaching 16a is small. Having achieved them, the battery charge begins at 11 kW power. To charge the battery, you will need a lot nor little - two hours. For complete charging from this outlet, 8 hours needed.
The illumination is turned off if the car is closed during charging, due to the fact that Mobile Connector is blocked in the connector. Very nice when you do not need to attract attention.
Conducting tests, by car, after a trip around the city, checked the charging speed. It was performed in the garage using a socket of the usual (domestic). Mobile Connector, suddenly blinked red. And this indicates the lack of grounding, without which there will be no charge. We, by the way, to this important factor of electricians are not serious, so more often household sockets are "reel", which does not allow to charge the electric car. But even if the socket "is in order" the charging time from it is much greater than from the "red" socket, since its maximum power of only 3kW. More than thirty hours the car can not be useful because, it is so much to last his full charge.
As mentioned, in the car installed one charger device, but if you install the second, the maximum charge power is twice, i.e. up to 22 kW. Additionally, you will need to install the High Power Wall Connector device, similar to the stationary Mobile Connector.
HPWC for Americans serves as the only alternative, while in Europe there is another, with the corresponding cable and the Type 2. Unfortunate connector, unfortunately, the third-party cable does not allow to open in automatic mode Charging timber, and will have to open it using a mobile and appropriate application or from a central monitor. But it becomes possible to boast for four hours.
Really, the problem is rather highlighting the appropriate power when charging at 22 kW. If there is no possibility of getting 22 kvt at the parking lot, then there is no point in installing the second charger. It is recommended to purchase the second Mobile Connector to use it in the garage as stationary
Do you need electrostating in cities?
All specialists are united in the opinion that owners Tesla refueling In the city is not needed. Why? Yes, everything is simple: a stock turn of about 350 km (even with minus twenty, it is not less than 200km), i.e. Its more than enough for the daytime run. And at night, the car is put on charging in his native garage (just as we do it with mobile phones). In the morning he has " full tank"And ready to work. Preferably, of course, at home to have a "red" socket to even in winter Have a guaranteed complete charge.
If there is no garage or at home there is still no "red" socket, or there is no grounding in a Euroreseet, you can drive a thousand kilometers in the "Parking at home" mode, using "Drum" "red sockets" (on car wash, in services, etc. .). But, every time after refueling, before putting the cable in the trunk, clean it from dirt and dust. But even more unpleasant - long standing in anticipation of the battery "filling". You can, of course, charge the Model S is not completely, since the memory effect of the battery does not possess. But, it does not recharge, in the event that it remains for a long time connected to the outlet. According to the manufacturer's recommendations, it is necessary at the time when it does not go to it, keep on recharging, which is especially important in the frost. This will warm the battery, like a car interior, turning on remotely climate control. Another plus of this Recommendation - Over time, the driver has its own map of improvised "electroders", because the map automatically marks all the places where the car was refilled.
Another question often worries drivers: "Is it possible to" lose "an extension from the apartment?". Answer: "No!". It is very dangerous in bad weather, firstly. Secondly, it will be catastrophically long. Therefore, in the place of permanent parking, the installation of a three-phase outlet is the first need. And it is better to take care of her in advance.
For this, a project is needed to be coordinated in the relevant instances, after which you can proceed to the cable laying (possibly installing an additional electric meter). You can charge the work with relevant organizations. But the electric vehicle is worth it and, when you, becoming its owner, feel all the delights of innovative transport, will understand that all the preparatory difficulties worth it.
Well, and a lot of signs on the "A-100", calling for refueling electric cars here - it is only the whims of the owners of refueling. The staff has no idea how to use it, it turned out in a conversation with employees.
An attempt to appeal to the authorities, when conducting testing, ended in the phrase that it is intended "for official use!".
Therefore, you can only talk about the refueling "A-100" as an incorrect marketing course. Only!
Perfect option - If the dressing for casual rides in the city is. But for traveling distant in Eastern Europe, this is a big problem today. You can still get to Vilnus if you agree with the owners of the "Red" outlet about refueling at night. It is impossible to get to Moscow because of the lack of a network of refueling on the track. In Europe and the United States with these easier. There is a private network called supercharger, where the Tesla can be charged, depending on the version, a constant current of 90-135 KVI and a voltage of 400 V. will be launched in a short time there and a 150 kW power station. Tesla drivers can be used for free and without restrictions. Complete charge is carried out on them for twenty minutes.
In the ambitious plans of the company, the further development of Supercharger in these countries, but no information has been voiced about Eastern Europe.
North America: Existing Supercharge Filling Network
Planned by 2015 Construction of refueling in North America
Europe: Supercharge refueling
By 2015, plans for the development of the network of refueling network
Another universal option is the chademo network - the same idea, but not free. With the help of a special test, the Tesla is refilled, but with the power of maximum 50kW. Failure: big size Connector, which is less convenient than Type.
For Europe the best option It would be the development of stations that allow charging the car through the Type 2 connector using d.C.. But, such solutions from third-party organizations are not yet.
How much is the full refueling?
Conducted tests say that 250 W per kilometer is consumed, i.e..25 kW / h per hundred kilometers. But it should be borne in mind that the efficiency of the charger is not 100%, and the battery in normal mode is "filled" by only 90% to be able to use braking reproductive, as well as extend the battery life.
It turns out. What in order to charge 85 kW / h Tesla battery, 100 kW / h and 90 kW / h are needed if it is filled with 90%. Given the actual reserve of the course - 300 km, we have 30V / h per hundred kilometers.
When taring electricity for ordinary physicals, but taking into account that it will be more than 150kW (i.e.917 rubles), we get: in rubles for every hundred kilometers passed in 27510 rubles. But, at the same time, you are traveling by car, under the hood of which 412 hp, and acceleration up to a hundred kilometers, occurs for 4.4 seconds!
It is very convenient that to track the status of the car, manage its central lock, know the location, use the climate control system and, most importantly, control the charge of charging, you can use mobile application Android and iOS.
Summing up, we note what you need to remember:
- To charge from a conventional euro dress, the continuing day is necessary grounding.
- For comfortable operating in the parking lot and in the garage, you need a "red2 socket, fully charged from which you can eight hours.
- Choosing between the purchase of the second charger device and Mobile Connector, the second option will be preferable, which can be used as stationary.
- Very uncomfortable to use Tesla, if there is no permanent space with an electrical outlet.
- Extremely difficult trips far along the highways, not equipped with special gas stations.
- American model model S can not be charged from a three-phase outlet.
- At least three dollars must be paid for electricity required to cover a hundred kilometers of the path.
Despite all the existing difficulties, the electric car is worth buying it, as it gives unprecedented feelings from the ride!
In the literal sense, the words were able to flip the whole industry from the legs on the head. Instead of gasoline, you can now ride electricity. But until recently, the lack of infrastructure within the country has stopped until recently from the purchase of an electric car. According to Avtostat as of January 1, 2016, only 152 cars of the TESLA brand were registered on the territory of Russia.
Two weeks ago, Tesla promised petrol stations For its cars in Russia for the end of the year. And my promise company holds back.
Today in the Moscow region Golf Club "Skolkovo" opened electrostressive Tesla Supercharge. This is the first gas station Companies in the country who started their work a few days ago.
The approximate location of the TESLA Supercharge stations prepared for the construction of this year is as follows:
The capabilities of the charger look impressive. In just 75 minutes Supercharge can charge tesla battery Model S to the container, which is enough to overcome 450-500 kilometers (depending on the electrocar configuration). Fast thirty-minute recharging will allow you to freely drive up to 270 kilometers. For comparison, the usual electrical network has 10 times less productivity.
The confident began to build a whole network of refueling, and with the release of the "budget" version announced in early April, the world of electrocars no longer seems so ghostly and inaccessible.
In the picture below, the invention, which will forever change the world automotive industry, and perhaps the world as a whole. Unique high-speed refills that are very actively building a California company Tesla Motors around the world quickly and safely charge modern cars absolutely free.
Yesterday no one could believe it. Today, one such refilling calmly works near the house. How is it arranged?
Let's start with the fact that this is not an ordinary charge for the electrocar. Tesla Supercharger is a top-wall charge station, which are created for Tesla Model S cars, as well as overgoing sales in 2015, Tesla Model S. PARKTER S. It is possible to charge and budget TESLA 3, which is expected on the market in 2017 at a price of $ 35,000.
Over the past 2 years around the world, Tesla Motors has already opened up 453 such refills, with a total number of terminals (columns) more than 2500. So what is the difference from traditional electric strokes, which are located in California everywhere?
The main differences are two. It is difficult to believe, but charging at the Supercharger station is absolutely free throughout the service life of Tesla Model S. Several years ago, potential buyers and owners who charged their Tesla houses with the help of charger asked a reasonable question: how to go on Tesla's car to a long journey?
Then the owner and founder of the company announced the start of building a global network of free high-speed refills, which will be located along all major highways, at a distance of at least 80% of the charge from each other, and kept the word. Already today on Tesla you can travel across America.
The second feature of Tesla Supercharger is charging speed, which occurs up to 16 times faster than in traditional electric vehicles. According to the manufacturer's application, this cable gives up to 120 kW and gives current directly to the battery, instead of the traditional charger.
Charging the battery at half takes about 20 minutes.
The owner of this car said that it often comes to this shopping center, on the parking lot of Tesla Supercharger, as electricity is provided free of charge and his car is charged completely until it goes for shopping or drinking coffee.
According to him, 100% of the charge can be obtained in less than an hour and a half, while his home charger allows you to charge the car completely in 8 hours, that is, overnight. Note that you can not buy a supercharger home. For home, only standard portable charging is intended. Below on the dashboard it can be seen that on the current charge the machine can already drive around 190 miles (300km), and another 50 minutes left until the end of the process.
At the moment, Tesla sold over 70,000 cars around the world. It is so much that at Supercharger stations constantly arise queues. In this regard, the company even began to ask the owners to use stations only during long journeys, and in normal time to charge cars at home. The largest sales market of course the United States (43,000 pieces), and the largest market outside America is the Northern Norway country, where 7,500 cars are already running. In the 2013 2013, Tesla Model s even became the best-selling car in this country among all brands in general. Such with electric vehicles happened for the first time. In 2013, in the USA, Tesla sold 18,000 cars and bypassed all the traditional luxury stamps: Mercedes S Class (13 303 pcs.), BMW 7 Series (10 932 pcs.), Lexus LS (10 727 pcs.), Audi A8 (6300 pcs.), Porshe Panamera (5421 pcs.).
In contact with
Tesla cars are becoming increasingly popular every year. The number of electric vehicles in Russia is also gradually growing. Many people who first hear about this car are interested in the question how to charge the car of the Tesla in Russia? In fact, charging transport has long been not new and quite common in most countries of the world.
Tesla refueling in Russia
The number of Tesla's happy owners is confirmed by statistics: In 2013, there were only 8 cars in Russia, in just 2 years, this figure reached in 122 registered Tesla. According to the unofficial data, the number of cars has long reached up to 300 copies. At the moment, it is possible to meet an electric vehicle on the streets of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Khabarovsk, Perm, Saransk and other cities.
MOSCOW TESLA CLUB has been trying to make the life of the owners of the popular car much more convenient and more comfortable. Tesla dressing card in Russia Visually demonstrates the successful work of the club.
But not all regions of our country are ready to accept Tesla. Now projects for high-speed electrostating chademo car are only at the development stage, but in Moscow operating stations. Such tesla refueling in Russia It is planned to open in all major centers of the country. The MODEL S and MODEL X is equipped with free car charging at Supercharge stations. However, the owners do not always require a station in every city. The full battery is enough for more than 300 km, which permits to travel without problems. You only need to connect an electric car to the network for the night, such as, for example, mobile phone. In the machines there is a map where places are automatically marked, in which it was produced. 
How to charge Tesla in Russia
The fastest I. available way Charge an electric vehicle for most people is from home network. Popular questions arising from motorists: how to charge Tesla in Russia more convenient and how much time does it take? Charging the car is slightly different from the view. European specification provides for a two-phase current powered, which affects the speed of charge, in contrast to american version. We will analyze the answer to each question in detail.
In each Tesla machine there is a connector where the device is connected. Included with an electric car there is a special charger (called Mobile Connector). But additionally you can buy another equipment - High Power Wall Connector, allowing you to charge the car much faster in your own garage. There is also an adapter that makes it possible to power through a conventional outlet with a voltage of 220V.
When connecting to a red rosette of three-phase current, a charge for 100 km lasts about one hour. Complete car charging takes no more than 8 hours. From the usual outlet takes too much time - in 60 minutes you can get less than 20 km. For home sockets require grounding, without which the charge of the electric vehicle will not be. Otherwise, food can be with a power of less than 3kW, which affects time. In this case, the complete charge will last more than 30 hours.
Charge Tesla can be performed with different climatic conditions - from -30 to +45 degrees Celsius, which makes it possible to use an electric vehicle in many regions of Russia.
The first place to charge the car is charging stations Tesla in Russia. The second most common place is its own home. Another option for charging is washing for cars on which there are red three-phase current outlets.
For charging, you only need to insert the equipment into the outlet and connect it to the electric vehicle. In order to operate the door with the connector, you should click on the button that is located on one of the sides of the cable. After that, a special connector opens in the rear face, where you need to insert the cable. If the equipment is properly, the indicators near the headlights light up green.
Do not worry about electricity drops. Teslas are equipped with a device that monitors the voltage. If it is higher than necessary, the current is limited. It also does not recharge batteries - it allows you to charge the machine without waiting for complete discharge. Of all you can conclude: Tesla develops very quickly, charging the electric vehicle is not a problem for residents of Russia.
