Tesla Supercharger vs 3rd Party Fast Chargers (Electrify America, Charge Point, Ev Go)
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 05. 2024
- I finally did it. I took 2 electric cars on a long road trip. One of them I charged only with Tesla superchargers and the other I charged with 3rd party charging stations... which happened to only be Electrify America due to the LACK of fast chargers on road trips.
Are these third party charging stations reliable when on a road trip?

what a great video Chris! the level of detail you go into is always appreciated. bonus….love you and everydayjan’s humor.
Thanks Jess!
Loved the "technical difficulties". Literally LOL. What a great video, Chris! This is VERY useful information to out out there! Cheers!
Thank you!
I can see why Ford chose to team up with Tesla for charging. Those kWh charge prices are high. My local SuperCharger is only 0.27 cents kWh.
Great video. 👍
As much as I want to think that electric charging is cheap now, it will only get more expensive in the future. Sorta like how UBER rides were cheap at first, but got real expensive after rising costs.
California rates are among the highest in the country
@@mikefernA lot of Tesla chargers use solar panels that are on the roofs of each charging station to help power the chargers.
Great video! Thanks for the detailed comparison. Your doggies are sooo cute!!! Also, Happy Birthday to your wifey everydayJan!
thank you!

Your videos are so helpful!! Recently picked up a model 3 and have learned so much from these videos!!
nice thanks Syed!
Welcome to the Tesla family 🤙🏽
It's a shame that electricity prices are so expensive at superchargers in CA. Glad that we have cheap home electricity rates here in ON...we pay $0.05 per kwh
My brother-in-law and I have been big fans of yours for a while now. I got my model 3 back in 2021 and your videos helped me made my decision. The supercharger at Oakridge used to be my main one back then before I started charging at home. It's great that there are so many chargers there, but the place still gets fully packed mid date/late evening. Man, if I had saw you there, I would've totally asked for a picture lol
haha. yeah there were alot of people there
Love this video. One of your best, your humor is great. John
haha thanks JOHN!
Thank you that was a great trip!
I have watched a few of your videos. I subbed and now going to get a model Y. I really want the performance but I need the long range cause I drive a lot in the city for work. Thanks for sharing your info on these Tesla's
Your videos are always dope man love the content
Thanks Gabe!
Wonderful Information. Thank you my friend.
Nice comparison video. Try doing this anywhere other than CA or AZ; there just aren't that many non-Tesla chargers around the country.
Oh man. I know. IT's only tesla superchargers
Another great video Chris! You just demonstrated why all of these other automakers are deciding to jump ship and switch over to the Tesla NACS (North American Charging Standard) network. In other parts of the country, there are even less non-Tesla chargers available, which makes owning a non-Tesla EV very difficult if you plan to go long distance with it.
I think there will be growing pains at first. But with Tesla building and opening so many superchargers, it should be less of an issue over time. Especially if places like apartment complexes build level 2 chargers for their tenants so they have a place to reliably charge at home.
Love that he takes his dogs everywhere. Goals!
Another great video 🔥
I live in Hawaii and there is only 2 tesla superchargers. One too far away from me and the other one is always a two hour wait. I have been using Electrify America for over a year. When is working is so easy to DC charge my Model 3, in addition I only pay $0.29 per KWH at electrify America vise $0.68 per KWH at Tesla. So here in Hawaii Electrify America is the way to go.
This is absolutely correct. I just transported an electric Volvo and had to use other chargers and they suck!! Superchargers are so much better. I'm so glad I own a Tesla, they're just so much better, technology, safety and infrastructure . That's why Tesla is blowing everyone else away.
Love your videos. Considering buying a Tesla X or Y performance for my family thanks to your videos.
Also, I just want to point out that West Coast Asian Americans seem so... happy? Maybe I'll move my family out West some day haha.
Haha. If you can afford it the x is the best but the y is good too
Great video man!
Gracias!
I really wanted to try EV GO also but there's ZERO on the major 5 freeway road trip we went on. Also, charge point fast charging maxes out at 63 KW which is insanely slow. My only other choice was Electrify America but man... I feel like it's not there yet in 2023. What you guys think?
I did research EV GO and EA and saw so many issues and how slow and broken they are. Tesla is the way to go.
Great video Chris and Jan. Have you done a video on weekend or holiday travel charging?
Found Electrify America network is also good. They have lot of 350 kwh superchargers very good for charging non-Tesla cars like ID4, Bolt, Polestar .
One thing I realized is that it’s a lot more refreshing to just ignore safety score. The only part I pay attention to is the collision warning portion to judge my own awareness. Other than that, I drive my car according to how and what I feel like/need.
I love the puppies ❤ It's nice seeing the difference in speed of charging, location of the chargers, and the accuracy of the non Tesla apps charger availability.. #TeamTesla!
Chris, at 12:15 had you already set something up or set something up with your phone other than Apple Pay and the charger was "ready" for you? Or, was the only thing required was an Apple Pay app on your phone?
I had the app and cc was in there and started charging that way!
@@EverydayChris Thanks Chris. I really enjoy your CZcamss. Educational and a bunch of fun. I'm in SoCal too. Fallbrook. I drive a (we have two identical ones except for color) '85 S P85D. Love them and also the 1.0 self driving is almost flawless. In LA traffic (when we get stuck on our way through) we use Self driving and its like Jurassic Park! We just sit back and have a conversation and listen to the music. All stress free. Within my cars limitations, it performs self driving better than any later model Tesla I have driven. Its consistent.
Great 👌👌👌
Lol we still want to know Jan's actual weight 😅 😂🤔
Does Everyday Jan know she can open the charging port by pressing the button on the charging cable? I understand you can push the charging door, too, but doing that all the time I'd be afraid I was going to crack it at some point.
haha she knows but that split second it takes to do it she'd rather just press the lid lol
I am looking forward to using FPL Evolution but do not have an adapter
Their charging network is the #1 reason why I'd still pick a Tesla over all other EVs. I know they're allowing Ford and GM to charge at their stations now, but Electrify America is just so bad. Their chargers bug out A LOT, especially in the cold, and I plan on road-tripping more during the holiday season to save money when that kind of weather is around and plane tickets are stupid expensive.
yeah. makes sense. I agree
LOL love you guys.
Technical difficulties, lol!!!!😂😂😂
at that first electrify america charger, the app DID say that charger was unavailable, you just didn't notice it because it didn't fully grey it out, as the chadmo port was still functioning, it's only the ccs half of that charger that was disabled
The EA and EVgo stations are quite confusing at best. The high power stations that have dual CCS1 combo dispenser "hoses" is there for redundancy almost akin to a gas pump. You can use one or the other on that "pump", but not both.
There are some dual CCS1 combo or CCS1 combo/CHAdeMO stations that will dispense power on both connectors at the same time, but the one who is plugged in first has priority of the charging rate and the second one plugged in will get the remaining almost like the v2 Supercharger. However those type of stations are not very common in high traffic areas.
I just like the elegance of the Tesla Supercharger, just plug in and charge. All of the information you need to know is handled by your car including realtime pricing, stall availability, and if a stall is out of service. There's no clunky apps and no display screen for anyone to vandalize.
Yeah weird
Do I need to retrofit my Tesla model 3 to use the Electrify America charging stations or do I need to get an adaptor?
check your car under details or more info. it should say ccs adapter support enabled or disabled
That's exactly why I chose the Tesla. You can't beat the supercharging ecosystem. Plus, Tesla has been making cars for 10 years. Just got my Y LR 2.5 weeks ago. Love it.
4:57 🤣🤣
God damn I hate my grey tesla model y. White looks so good. 😍
there are so many of them though haha
@@EverydayChris there are for sure! But we have 6,000 miles on our grey one and I hope we don't loose much money to trade in for a white one!
Excellent Video! I thought you were going dump all over EA and Charge Point. You points were very true and insightful. I own a Mercedes EQE. I was deciding between the EQE and the Tesla Model S (not Plaid). Mercedes has plug and charge at EA which works amazing 95% of the time, but the limited amount of chargers does dictate/restrict our road trips some (mostly taking away some scenic routes up the coast of Cali to Seattle). I have had no problems with EA chargers it just waiting in line or finding one on my routes. The range anxiety has currently stopped my wife from going to an EV. And she is not a Tesla fan. Hopefully soon EV's can have both charging ports.
Agreeed. Id get a Mercedes too if the charging was better!
A Tesla Model S Plaid has a 100 kwh battery correct? So how is it possible to go to a supercharger, get charged for 40 kwh, and the battery level only increases from 10% to 35%? Shouldn't the battery have increased 40% instead of only 25%?
Used your referral for my M3 happy with new discount but got only 1500 points. Shouldn’t be 2000?
I think 1500! But thank you!
Tesla will need to work on the station rollout and layout with Gm and Ford coming on board as the current layout doesn’t work well design wise based on connector and cable placement not to mention when the CyberTruck comes out they will need to accommodate for those
Agreed. THey ARE constantly adding new and MORE superchargers to locations but with all these new non tesla's we gotta make sure there are enough for everybody
@@EverydayChris not to mention the layout of the station stalls. Many are in a straight line so you have to back up to them. With no standard of charging door placement on vehicles that means many non Teslas have to take 2 spots for the cable to reach. It should allow for more of a drive through style like gas stations. Not all Tesla installs are like that I realize, but many are.
@@RichardYoungCF Agreed. The weird thing with EA was the fact you can choose left or right side. Some tesla chargers allow you to drive in but most is reverse in only on the LEFT side
I am trying to watch a SpaceX launch and there are no fast chargers here in Melbourne. Max speed 90 thus far …
Mr. Peanut Butter omg cutie
I'd be worried about getting attacked by non-Tesla owners 😀
I think you're my neighbor lol i take the bike bridge everyday on jeffrey
woohoo!
So we have to share chargers. Wack. Its already crowded at the station waiting in such long lines.
What about the difference in cost?
Third party is slightly more expensive based on location. I'm doing another video comparing it because they have all these weird memberships.
@@EverydayChris thanks for the video. Supercharging network is the best IMO. Id rather be waiting in a SC location that has 12,20,30,40+ charger than at EA where theres only 4-6 of them. Which is why, like you, I keep buying and staying in the Tesla eco system🤙🏽
You just proved that charging on either network works almost identical. Your biggest problem was that the plug is bulky...... real sacrifice......
Just wait till Tesla syperchargers start getting clogged with other brands😂
yeah but the reliability too is huge.
Team Tesla!
Yessss mam! Love from NJ!
I don't get it. Why would tesla devalue their chargers by opening them up to so many more cars? Doesn't that devalue Tesla? Why not get a Ford if your concern was just charging availability. Tesla owners now get crowded out. Is Ford building their own (tesla) supercharges too? That would be another story---a great story.
I know sucks
Superchargers make tesla money, doesn't matter what brand of vehicle is plugged in.
Couple of additional thoughts. After paying $20k more for my Model Y than there going for now and the opening up the Tesla charging stations to other makes, my next EV will be one of those other makes, then I can still use the Tesla charging stations.
So you’re going to compound your “loss” (which is really only theoretical) by selling or trading your Tesla after overpaying for it? And further so by buying an inferior EV? Finally, Tesla supercharging rates will surely be different (more expensive) for non-Teslas. You’ll really show them!
That’s why u get a Tesla for supercharger
Why is electrify America so bad? I haven’t seen one CZcams video where there wasn’t problems with EA. It’s like they’re not even trying. I would never consider any EV other than a tesla right now.
Its just how it is right now. Weirdly. EVGO isn't on any road trip route. Only city locally. EA works but can suddenly NOT work. Chargepoint is just sad lol. 63KW for their high speed charger? I'm feeling that tesla's adapter is going to be the new standard eventually with GM And ford tbh
@@EverydayChris good! I own two teslas as well and I completely welcome other cars to our network. It’ll only help it grow bigger. I think this is the first big step towards wide spread adoption of EVs. Can’t wait for the day where EV chargers surpass the number of gas stations.
Why would she wait for you? doesn't that defeat the purpose of the test?
Glad to see the cost to charge is rivalling gas
Lol .48 cents a kilowatt?
Your bike fit… 🤦♂️
not just ford. Most EV's heading that way
Only in North America.
@@dutchdryfly That's why they call it the north american standard.
Bro no offense
Bu go straight to the point
My b on god
200…😂
People who came from the yt short
👇
Maybe less talking about other things you'll increase your video views!
Good tip!
This video is not showing the real comparison. You didn't even try other chargers (except EA), how can you say others are bad? The "comparison" is manipulated in the way biasing Tesla, I guess because you drive a Tesla car. Not worthy the time.
Bruh didn’t watch the video. Or my other videos where I charged with ev go cause he’s too busy working out at home
agree!!
i have used electrifamerica on a 1200 mile drive never a problem 350 fast charging 18 min so tesla at 250 cant give you that. KIA EV6
I only have the option to supercharge my MYLR since I don’t have a garage. I usually charge it to 80% twice a week. Will supercharging it only degrade my battery in anyway over time? I heard that you should charge at home and only use superchargers for long road trips. But I don’t have that option 🥲. Thank you.
tough. it can due to the power and heat but my friend did for a year with no issues everyday. no way to find an outlet or something?
@@EverydayChris yeah, we I live in a condo with no garage 😢. I hope it will be okay.
@@taijikimura247 Yeah should be fine! When you get to a higher percentage it decreases the charge rate by alot which helps.
@@EverydayChris thanks Chris!!
