Friends who may have electric vehicles know that Tesla's supercharging station is still relatively heavy for the resistance to continue to occupy charging piles and parking spaces after vehicle charging. Therefore, Tesla prompts Tesla owners to quickly drive away from the charging pile or charging parking space after the vehicle is charged, free up the charging pile or charging parking space for the next model to be charged, improve the charging efficiency of the supercharge station, and truly achieve the purpose of fast charging of the supercharge pile.
A few days ago, a science and technology big V posted that the overtime occupation fee of the special envoy pulling and dismantling machine charging station was 6.4 yuan per minute, and one hour was 384 yuan. From the perspective of the "unit price" of the overtime occupation fee, it is indeed very high, 384 yuan an hour, which is basically equivalent to the price of half a tank of gasoline for a fuel vehicle with a fuel tank volume of 75L. Tesla's rule is that after charging for more than 5 minutes, overtime occupancy fees are charged according to the minute timing, and the idle time fee is 3.2 yuan / minute, and the busy time is 6.4 yuan / minute.
After the technology big V issued an exclamation and spit, many netizens have also followed the post, some netizens said that Tesla's eating phase is too ugly, who has a busy time, occasionally occupy a little more charging pile, you have to be charged a high overtime occupation fee, the price of overtime occupation fee is about to catch up with the oil price, then we buy electric vehicles to save fuel, the little money saved is not the original number handed over to Tesla?
Of course, some netizens said that although the Tesla supercharge station is basically only for tesla electric vehicle services, there is indeed a lot of exclusivity, but placed inside the Tesla owner, the supercharge station is actually a public resource, that is, the public resources that belong to all Tesla car owners, then if one or several car owners habitually continue to occupy the charging pile after the charging is completed, then other car owners will have to wait for a long time, which is equivalent to wasting the fast charging resources of the supercharge station, which is for public resources. Of course it's a waste. Therefore, it is necessary to charge overtime fees, because relying on people's consciousness to improve the vehicle rotation efficiency of the supercharging station is too difficult, after all, people's quality and consciousness are uneven, Tesla has no way to require all car owners to be high-quality, and Tesla owners cannot be selfish and arrogant
From Tesla's point of view, we believe that there is no problem in charging overtime occupancy fees, especially in some charging piles with high usage rates, if you do not charge overtime occupancy fees, then many charging piles may be occupied for a long time, and other car owners can only dry and so on, which is equivalent to the loss of the charging capacity of supercharging piles.
However, in terms of price and collection method, we believe that it is not necessarily necessary to apply a one-size-fits-all, that is, as long as it takes more than 5 minutes, it will charge the occupation fee, because many times, some car owners really do not deliberately occupy or maliciously occupy, but there is really no way to quickly move the car. Therefore, in our opinion, it may be better to introduce a time-sensitive mechanism and a ladder price mechanism. The so-called time-sensitive mechanism is a time-out permission that has a certain time every year or month, and within this permission time, even if it is timed out, there is no need to charge overtime fees, because it is impossible for all car owners to occupy the overcharge station in the same charging station and the same time period. The so-called ladder price, that is, with the longer the occupation time, the higher the price of the overtime occupation fee, such as occupying 10 minutes is a price, occupying 20 minutes Is a higher price, occupying 30 minutes The price is higher, in this case, it may be more able to promote the owner to move the car in time, and there is no complaint, after all, Tesla also gives the owner a chance.
Therefore, tesla charges the overtime fee of the supercharging station is no problem, but the time and price of the fee are still debatable, and we hope to see that Tesla can take into account the efficiency of the supercharging station, and at the same time, it can also make consumers not feel that Tesla is cutting leeks.
