Hi All

Traveling for business, the hotel we will be at has Tesla superchargers. We are looking at renting an EV for the experience.

Can an EV6 use the Tesla chargers? It will be a rental car. Other option is to rent a model 3.

Any info appreciated. Will we have to download an app to use the tesla charging network?

Thanks in advance

    Chargers 101: in USA they are referred to as Level 1, 2 , or 3. Level 1 is any 110v plug and you can expect 1 to 2 kWh rate or about 3-5 miles of charge per hour. A full charge could take 40 hours.

    Level 2 is what most businesses and hotels have and what most people setup at home. It’s a 240V plug and runs in the 35-45Amp range and typically will do a full charge in 7-8 hours.

    Level 3 is 480V? These are fast chargers typically 50,100,150,350 KWh capable and will fully charge in 30 min to an hour.
