TESLA Supercharge Network is a system of charging stations direct current With a voltage of 480 volts, designed to quickly recharging the batteries of the electrocarbers produced by Tesla Inc. All models of cars, including Tesla Model S, Model 3 and Model X - can promptly restore the resource of their traction batteries, thanks to these rapid charging stations.
The network began to erect in 2012, and as of the first half of 2018 there were already about 10,000 chargers for about 1250 stations. The idea itself relative to the widespread introduction of Tesla Supercharge charging stations was born in the company after the very first their idea was defined - the "fast battery change", which was not demanded and not profitable.
Chargers of stations constructed by the patented DC technology in the charging process are capable of providing power up to 120 kW per electric car. So, in 30 minutes spent at the station "Tesla Supercharger", owner Model S will restore 90 kWh-h battery electricity, which is enough for 270 kilometers of stroke, while for complete recharge it will take 75 minutes.
Updated softwareWhich since 2015 is available for each TESLA car owner, it makes it possible to lay optimal routes with regard to the card of electric filling stations. The updated card is always available on the official website https://www.tesla.com/supercharger/
One middle station covers an area of \u200b\u200b20 to 55 square meters, as a rule, it is located near the highway, Molla, restaurant complex, etc., and provides an average of about 8 charges. Food is taken from the nearest three-phase line, from where it is fed to a lowering transformer, installed near the station. From the transformer, the wires go to distribution cabinets, from the cabinets to the charging columns. The cost of the construction of one such station costs the company from $ 100,000 to $ 175,000.
To reduce the non-target load on charging stationsSince December 2016, Tesla began to finish the drivers whose cars remained standing on charging longer than the laid, that is, even when the charging process was actually 100% completed. Later it was forbidden to refuel cars at the station engaged in Carpuling, taxi cars, as well as government transport. Finally, Tesla cars acquired after January 15, 2017 began to have a pre-installed limit equal to 400 kWh, that is, about 1600 km of free move, after which the charging becomes paid.
The actual charging station "Tesla Supercharger" is able to distribute 145 kW for two cars, simultaneously standing at charging, and maximum power One of them, as noted above, is 120 kW (who has been charged first - receives priority for the maximum available power).
In 20 minutes, the battery will be filled with half, in 40 minutes will restore 80% of the total charge, and in 75 minutes it will receive all 100% (based on the parameters of the original model battery S, with a capacity of 85 kWh). Constant pressure Served directly to the car's battery, bypassing any intermediate converter, which not only protects the efficiency, but also reduces the cost of the equipment.
Some of the Charging Stations "Tesla Supercharger", located in sunny regions, have solar panels installed on their roofs on their territory, and employees to compensate for the recharging of electricity machines. In the plans of Tesla Inc. - Wide introduction of solar batteries into the infrastructure of the station network. WITH sunny batteries The cost of the construction of an object increases to $ 300,000. At such stations there is an electricity repository with a capacity of about 500 kWh.
Tesla Model S and X ordered in January 2017, the electrocars of Tesla Model S and X pay off their value by the amount of electricity obtained for free at the charging stations. As of May of this year (2018), this network It is exclusive for models S, X and 3. The equipment serves the model S with accumulators by 70 kWh and more, and also charges a fee (you must pay $ 2000 once) with 60 kWh-h batteries.
As for Tesla Roadster, the first models did not have the possibility of charging from these stations, but all the subsequent Tesla cars received such an opportunity. In May 2017, the company announced the shares on which "five friends receive free refueling in the referral code", and all those who are owners of Tesla electrocars acquire new X or S models - automatically get free charging.
In Europe, the Tesla electric vehicle for articulation with the Tesla Supercharge charging station uses IEC 62196 Type 2 connector, which is incompatible with american versions. In this case, other manufacturers of electrocarbers for DC feed use the IEC 62196-3 connector, which is incompatible with TESLA. The issue of establishing the compatibility of other electrocars with Tesla Supercharge charging stations has repeatedly raised, but the agreement is still not achieved.
Today, the number of chargers raised worldwide at the Tesla Supercharge stations exceeded the mark of 10,000 pieces. The ten-thousand Charger was installed in the city of Belville, Canadian state of Ontario. In addition, the rapid charge station can be found in many European countries, as well as in Japan, China, New Zealand, Australia, South Korea and in other countries of the world.
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.
Approximate location of preparing to build tesla stations Supercharge has already been as follows by the end of this year:
Opportunities charger Look impressive. In just 75 minutes, SuperCharge may charge the Tesla Model S battery to the capacity, 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 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 is a heavy charge station that are created for the Tesla Model S car, as well as overgoing sales in 2015 Tesla Model X PARC. 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 is located on the Parking of the Big Shopping Center, that is, the car is charging at that moment when the owner went shopping. 
03. Over the past 2 years around the world, Tesla Motors has already opened up 453 such refills, with a total number of terminals (columns) of 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 an hour and a half, while its 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-distance travel (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 Model S sedans, 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.

Presented on this page tESLA Supercharge Electric Card Charger, created by the owners of enthusiasts from all over the world, which made a significant contribution to the dissemination of information about " supercharges"TESLA Having created its own updated resource that provides interactive information about the current network network, the original card of which is located.

As for the general state of the network, the currently of the card operating and planned to open the stations is as follows:
Map of rapid charging stations of North America
The most extensive network Tesla Supercharger is located in this region, which is however, not surprisingly considering the origin of the company and the fact that the United States is the main region of Tesla electric vehicles.
Map of fast charging stations in Europe
The second largest network region in which the number of stations varies depending on the development of the electric car market of a state or another.
Map of fast charging stations of Asia
Another major region with a developed infrastructure from TESLA, in which the leading positions for the increase in the number of superchargers occupies China and Japan.
Tesla Supercharger in Ukraine
The company's plans to open two points with TESLA superchargers in Ukraine. They will be located on the key motorway of the country, at such a distance to cover the path binding the Western border of the state with the capital.
Tesla Supercharger - Supreme Information
Developed company Tesla The charging station network is designed specifically for superfast charge of all company models. Initially, it was assumed that most of the TESLA electric vehicles will charge them at night, when electricity tariffs are lower, and the network presented is useful if you are planning to travel long distance travel.
Network charging complexes make it possible to charge TESLA electric vehicles 20 minutes to 50%, 40 minutes to 80% and 75 minutes to 100%. For example, at home, charging up to 100% battery capacity with a battery 75-90 kWh, with the power of the charger in 11 kW and three-phase connections would take about 8 hours, but from the usual outlet with a power of 3 kW, the process will go even slower and will take 4 times longer.
Today, Tesla own the largest network of "fast" charging in the world, even though, in fact, each of the owners of the company's electric vehicles have complaints on the route that is not covered by superchargers. At the same time, it cannot be said that they have the same right to complain as the owners of electrocars of other brands. At this moment tesla Supercharger is one of the best benefits of the company In comparison with all the competitors that produce electric cars and rely on other networks with their rates, also rapidly developing, but not so optimized for users of specific electric vehicles. Another plus Tesla Supercharger is that the network did not start as a profitable enterprise, but only as an infrastructure for long journeys and funds complementing the company's automotive business.
