I already posted this before, but my post was deleted for some reason.
The 2000 USD fee required covers only 125 charges, way less than an average costumer will charge over the years.
(80kwh*0,20c/kwh)=16 USD per charge
2000/16=125 charges. In europe electricity costs 0,40c/kwh, resulting in only 62,5 chrges.
Some people wil say that solar will offset the electricity consumed, lets do some simple calculations:
Every supercharger draws 90KW, so assuming there are 2000 Superchargers all over the US, we will constantly draw 180MW of power (full utilization). So we will need at least twice of this power to cover day AND night. Thats a 360MW plant. Plus margin we need (when its rainy: 400MW). 3$ per watt costs a PV plant at least! Thats 1.2 to 1.5 BILLION $!
2000/5=400 Supercharging stations. Realistic.
So will this seal tesla's bankrupcy in a few years when they do indeed sell 500,000 cars?
