Additionally, laws around EV charging are starting to change -- where garages and condos may be required to offer a certain percent of charging stalls...
I don't know if NYC has any such laws, but zooming Plugshare in to Manhattan shows over 100 J1772 sites (the L2 standard charger -- typically delivering ~3 to 7kW) and 33 Tesla Wall Chargers (which only work on a Tesla and deliver ~8 to 20 kW depending on circuit). The other option that may work is good-old 120V charging -- if there's an outlet near your space, that would charge at 1.2kW. That is "only" 3 miles of range per hour charged, but if you are not driving every day, it would work in conjunction with Superchargers...

So it turns out my work already has Tesla chargers.
I guess I'll put down a deposit. |

Apparently Tesla is working on getting a Supercharger someplace in NYC (in addition to the one near JFK)...

"Single" superchargers simply don't exist. Each Supercharger cabinet feeds 2 stalls -- so they always come in pairs. Most locations have 6-8 stalls, and some of the newer ones have 12 stalls, with a 20 stall site under construction.
Tesla has shown that they will expand capacity by adding stalls at existing sites or adding additional nearby sites to help relieve congestion. Look at the map at supercharge.info...

The front end and the back end are atrocious. The side view looks nice, but bland. It looks like the car was designed in a computer and nobody ever modeled it in clay before signing off the drawings.

The front is pretty bad- but better than the model x. I actually like the back. Overall I kind of like the simplicity. Fwiw, there are pics of the clay model floating around on the Internet. |
