Building a Tesla Supercharger !

Very instructive video time lapse on the building of a Tesla SuperCharger station from ground up

Check this out !

"The Project Managers at Electric Conduit Construction were excited to learn that they were the successful bidder on a Tesla Supercharger station. The project was located in Goodland, Kansas and was one of a chain of stations being built across the country to make long distance travel by electric vehicle a reality"

LEAF Charging at Autolib Stations - I finally ordered a J1772 extensioncable from Tucsonev.com

After looking for 2 weeks, I finally went back to my first idea and ordered a J1772 Extension Cable, from TucsonEV.com




Made by a person building EVs, attending Jack Rickard's EVCCON, it should be good

It looks like a quality strong build, with good components and these are not cheap: the plug, outlet, cable rated for 30A ...

Measures 22 feet long, 22 x 30cm = 6.6m, perfect from the end of the LEAF to the front charge port, and has the J1772 hole for the padlock (perfect)

I will plug the Autolib J1772 plug into one end and plug the other end into the LEAF charge port, with one padlock on each, nobody is going to unplug me now !  :-)

Here is the invoice


Not cheap, but in Euros it comes to right under 290, and it is about the only spending I had for the LEAF in 2 years of use, so it's OK

Look how Tesla Model S owners will be able to use CHAdeMO 50kW Charging Stations

Tesla Model S owners will be able to use CHAdeMO 50kW Charging Stations, very soon ...

Check out this New Adaptor:

 No, this is NOT a gas nozzle  :-)

Take advantage of CHAdeMO’s network of 50 kW charging stations by enabling onboard hardware and purchasing an external adapter. CHAdeMO stations charge at the rate of approximately 150 miles of range per hour of charge with locations primarily in the Pacific Northwest.

This adapter is specifically for North American Model S. A separate adapter is required for European and Asian Model S. For Model S without Supercharging enabled, onboard hardware must be activated to use the CHAdeMO adapter. Every 85 kWh Model S is already Supercharging enabled.
