Tesla Offers Superchargers for Business Purchase Directly
Tesla Expands Supercharger Network with New Business Initiative
Tesla has announced a new initiative, Supercharger for Business, which marks a significant shift in strategy for the company. This programme allows business owners to purchase and install Superchargers on their properties, potentially accelerating electric vehicle (EV) adoption.
Under this programme, businesses can acquire the latest V4 Supercharger stalls, each powered by V4 cabinets that can support up to eight stalls. Tesla promises the same uptime, service, and driver support as its own network, guaranteeing 97% uptime - the highest in the industry.
The Superchargers offer features like live availability, trip planning, preconditioning for faster charging, and ongoing over-the-air software updates. They are compatible with all electric vehicles, making them a convenient option for EV drivers.
Tesla provides a full-service package for Supercharger for Business, including network operations, preventative maintenance, and driver support. The company also offers design guidance for the installation of Superchargers.
Max de Zegher, Tesla Charging Director, expressed concern about DC fast chargers with poor software and service, referring to stranded assets. To address this, Tesla is growing its Supercharger network with help from outside partners, as a part of its mission outlined in Master Plan Part 4.
Superchargers for Business attract EV drivers to businesses by offering reliable charging, and they provide visibility on Tesla's Supercharger map. More non-Tesla EVs, including Volkswagen-owned Porsche and Audi EVs, are gaining Supercharger access.
Tesla has until now built out its 70,000+ Superchargers worldwide using its own capital. However, with the Supercharger for Business programme, business owners can now fully own the Superchargers they host. The minimum number of charging posts a site host can buy is four.
Tesla's Supercharger program will extend to utility companies, as announced by Max de Zegher. The search results do not provide specific names of the first companies that have the possibility to acquire Tesla Supercharger stations on their premises.
In conclusion, Tesla's Supercharger for Business is set to expand the company's Supercharger network, providing a valuable service to businesses and contributing to the growth of the EV market.
