When road tripping in a Tesla, one of the most common questions I receive is how to pay for electricity at the Tesla Supercharger. It’s a valid concern and one that is easy to address.
When you arrive at a Tesla Supercharger station, you won’t find a place to enter a credit card or payment information. However, there’s no need to worry about this step because the process is seamless. Here’s how it works:
- When you plug your Tesla into the Supercharger, your car communicates with the Tesla system.
- If you have a credit card on file with Tesla, the billing for the electricity happens automatically.
One may wonder, “How do I know how much I am paying for the charge?” The answer is right on the main screen of your Tesla. It will display the cost per kilowatt at the particular Supercharger location, providing transparency and allowing you to track the expense.
So, the next time you embark on a road trip in your Tesla and need to charge at a Supercharger station, rest assured that the payment process is effortless and hassle-free, allowing you to focus on the journey ahead.
