No. The Tesla Roadster is an electric vehicle (EV) and does not require gasoline. It is not a hybrid.
How much does it cost to re-charge a Roadster?
It costs most customers roughly 2 cents per mile or $5 to fully recharge their Roadster. Depending on exact prices of electricity and gasoline, you could save up to $131 per month compared to other premium sports cars.
Where do I charge?
The vast majority of our customers charge their cars at night in their garages. However, you can charge the Tesla Roadster from virtually any conventional outlet in North America or Europe.
What do I need to do to prepare for taking delivery of my Roadster?
We recommend that you install your charging solution a few weeks prior to taking delivery of your Tesla Roadster.
Where do you recommend installing my 240V outlet?
It’s most convenient to have your outlet in a wall near the driver’s side of your Roadster. We recommend a location sheltered from the rain or snow.
If I don’t have a private garage, what do I do?
We have many customers who live in condos or apartments. Typically they have a standard home unit installed in their parking area.
Can I charge at work?
Yes. You can charge from any conventional outlet. However, with about 250 miles per charge, you won’t likely need to refuel during the day.
Will the Home Connector work with 208V rather than 240V?
Yes, though the Roadster will recharge more slowly from a lower voltage.
Can I store my Roadster for long periods of time?
Yes. You simply put it in “storage mode” and leave your Roadster plugged in for as long as you’d like.
How do I get a Home Connector installed?
Any licensed electrician may install the Home Connector.
