When using a Tesla Supercharger, it is important to be aware of the idle fee policy.
Idle Fee Incurred: For every additional minute a vehicle remains connected to the Supercharger after charging is complete, an idle fee is applied.
Fee Waiver: If you move your vehicle within five minutes of the charging session ending, the idle fee is waived.
Capacity-Based Fees:
Idle fees are only applied when the Supercharger station is at 50% capacity or more.
When the station reaches 100% capacity, the idle fees double.
By promptly moving your vehicle once charging is complete, you can avoid these fees and ensure that Supercharger stations are available for other Tesla owners.
Idle fee (per minute) | Idle fee (per minute) when the station is 100% occupied |
