Tesla Chargers at Your Tucson Business
Can I get a Tesla charger at my business?
Yes, you can have a Tesla electric charger at your business. Tesla charging stations can be found at business locations throughout Tucson ranging from hotels, traditional gas stations, shopping plazas and even bookstores.
Are there different types of Tesla Charging Stations?
There are two different types of public Tesla Charging Stations.
Supercharger – The first type of public Tesla Charger is the Supercharger Station. A Supercharger station cannot be installed at any business. In order to have a Supercharger installed at your business location, you must apply to be part of the Supercharger network. Tesla makes a significant financial investment in each Supercharger location. Therefore, they want to make sure each location meets certain criteria. Tesla prefers their charging stations to be located near amenities like grocery stores, shops, restrooms, and Wi-Fi access. Additionally, they want their charging station hosts to have regular business hours, full-time employees, positive reviews online, and a willingness to provide free charging to customers. They’re currently growing the number of Supercharger connections at a rate of 50% each year. Therefore, at the moment there is a higher probability of getting approved as a Supercharger location.
Destination Charger – The second type of charger used at business locations is the destination charger. A destination can be installed at any location and you do not have to apply to be a host of a Destination Charger. Choosing to have a destination charger is an excellent way to attract new customers to your business location.
What is the difference between a Supercharger and a Destination Charger?
The biggest difference between a Destination Charger and a Supercharger is the rate in which they are capable of charging a Tesla vehicle. If your Tesla battery is completely depleted it may take up to 12 hours to fully charge a Tesla when using a Destination Charger. A Supercharger on the other hand can charge your Tesla battery up to 80% in 40 minutes (2% a minute). The Supercharger does slow down the charging rate between the 80-100% range in order to protect the battery system. As previously mentioned on this page, in order to have a Supercharger installed at your business, you must apply to be a Supercharger location host.
Why should you get a Tesla Charger installed at your business location?
When Tesla owners are charging their vehicles, they are more likely to take time to frequent one of the neighboring businesses. It has been estimated that a single customer’s dwell time in a business is about 50 minutes on average. People are creatures of habit. Once an individual gets in the habit of charging their vehicle in one place, they normally do not deviate from their routine. There is no question that Tesla owners are the type of customers you would want to frequent your business. Tesla is unlike any other car company, and so are their owners. Tesla is more than just a car company it’s both a lifestyle and a community. Tesla vehicle owners are typically in a higher income bracket. Additionally, according to LendingTree, Tesla owners actually boast the highest overall credit rating. Let’s not forget that they Tesla owners have an eye for high quality products and experiences. They will seek out and pay more for a higher quality of product, service, or experience.
Does a Tesla Charging Station increase my commercial property value?
Due to the way the commercial property industry works, it is hard to get comps on other properties. Additionally, Tesla has chosen its charging locations very carefully. The commercial properties with Tesla Charging stations will not be on the market very often so there’s not a lot of data on what percentage increase you can expect from having a Tesla Charging Station being installed. However, we can say with certainty that a residential home’s proximity to a charging station increases property value. Additionally, having a charging station in your residential home increases your property value even further. There is no question that having a Tesla Charging Station will add significant value to your commercial property. When you take into consideration that the electric vehicles will account for 52% of all vehicles by the year 2030, the need for electric chargers will increase. Therefore, the value of having charging stations on your property will increase.
Can Tesla Chargers charge other type of electric vehicles?
It depends upon the type of Tesla charger you choose to have installed at your Tucson business location. There are two different types of Tesla chargers. The two different types of chargers are referred to as the Destination Chargers and the Superchargers.
Destination Charger – The Destination Charger can charge almost any type of electric vehicle as long as the vehicle owner has a specific adaptor. Most electric vehicle owners already have these adaptors so they can take advantage of Tesla’s extensive network of charging stations. Most automakers have just started producing electric vehicles, but are committed to converting most of their production to electric vehicles. Therefore, it’s easy to anticipate an increased demand for charging stations in the near future. Establishing your property as a destination for electric vehicle owners and all types of electric vehicles is a decision that will continue to pay off forever. It will make your commercial more attractive to people looking to lease a commercial space or potential buyers of your commercial property. Those of you who are interested in learning more about a Tesla Destination Charger can reach out to our company directly. A member of our team will be able to answer any questions you have in regards to pricing, installation, or the Destination Charger.
Tesla Supercharger – Currently Tesla Superchargers are almost strictly designated for Tesla vehicles only. The option for other auto manufacturers to access the Supercharger network has been available for years. However, no auto manufacturers have chosen to take advantage of Tesla’s Supercharger network until recently. As of November the 1st 2021, Tesla is starting to open up their Supercharger stations to other types of electric vehicles. The small number of Tesla Superchargers available to charge other types of electric vehicles, are not located within the continental United States. In other words, it’s safe to say as the demand for electric vehicle charging stations increases, Tesla Superchargers are more likely to be utilized by other vehicle manufacturers.
