To compete with gas stations, Tesla would have to spend: When combining the $2 billion to $8 billion needed for the Supercharger network, and additional planned costs for Gigafactories, Model 3 investments, and other costs, Tesla could need potentially $35 billion in capex through 2025, the note said.
|
|
It said it expects to spend $2 billion to $2.5 billion this year alone on three major projects — building its first factory in China, and developing the Model Y and a semi truck — as well as further expanding its supercharger network and vehicle service operations to satisfy customers.

Fisker told The Street on Friday that the EMotion's Las Vegas unveil will also focus on the car's technology, which is expected to include a new type of battery pack with the ability to charge in nine minutes, comfortably ahead of the 30-minute Tesla Supercharger charge time.
|
|
Charging time is also a stumbling block, Tesla says its supercharger station can charge a car for up to 170 miles in 30 minutes, but that is still a lot longer than it takes to fill up a gas tank, and other brands can take hours to charge.
|
|
Still, it was also a test of how well the Model 3 would perform on a long trip, how it holds up in freezing temperatures, and how well Tesla's Supercharger network holds up throughout the country (Roy and Zorrilla spent roughly $100 charging on the trip, for the record).
|
|
Tesla started outlining how it works in a blog post tonight: So pricing will vary a bit depending on where you are — but within a state's borders (or, outside of North America, a country's borders), at least, you know you'd be paying the same amount at any given supercharger.

After driving the car from Reno, Nevada, to the south shore of Lake Tahoe (mostly on Autopilot), the car's navigation system told me I had enough power left to make it to the next Supercharger station on my route with 33 percent of my 270-mile range to spare.
|
|
The Superchargers allow for a full charge in about 75 minutes or a half charge in about 30 — much faster than the standard Level 1 or Level 2 chargers found around the US — and Tesla has built 734 Supercharger stations (with nearly 5,000 chargers) since the network was started in 2012.
|
|
For now, CCS, Supercharger and CHAdeMO plugs continue to be installed in Europe as well as the United States, while China is pressing ahead with GB/T, suggesting it is too early to call a winner in the plug wars - especially as no carmaker will want to lose out on the Chinese market.
