Home Charge vs Supercharge

Home Charge
(Slow Extended Full Charge)
220 Volt 50 Amp AC Residential Service
User Provided Invertor to Convert AC to DC

Supercharger Station Only
(1/4 Charge - Supercharge)
Home for Full Charge


NOTE
Home Charging Is Slow Yet Cheaper
Home Charger Can Not Provide
 Faster Supercharge (1/4 Charge)
500 VDC @ 350 A
Supercharge Station Can Not
Fully Charge a Tesla
(Heat Limitation)

NOTE
All Gas Savings is an Estimate

My Conclusion:
On distances over 120/240/355  Miles
(Tesla Model Dependent)
You can only accept 1/4 Supercharges
every (1/4) 30/60/90 miles
(Tesla Model Dependent)
unless you find a home charger
connection and have extra time
to complete a more fill-up charge.

NOTES
Tesla Supercharge Stations

3 Phase High Voltage
Power Line Distributions
And Stations Must Have
The High Rated Invertors
Not Available At Homes.
Home chargers require wiring
and user provide invertor.
