Tesla Destination Charging is a network of charging stations located at hotels, restaurants, and other popular destinations around the state that allow Oregon Tesla owners to charge their vehicles while they are parked and enjoying their destination. Unlike Superchargers, which are designed for fast, on-the-go charging during long road trips, Destination Chargers provide slower but convenient charging options for drivers who need to top off their battery while parked for a few hours or overnight.
Here’s how Tesla Destination Charging works:
- Charging equipment: Tesla provides its Destination Charging partners with Tesla Wall Connectors, which are Level 2 charging stations that can deliver up to 80 amps of power to the vehicle’s onboard charger.
- Location selection: Tesla works with a variety of partners to place Destination Charging stations at hotels, restaurants, parking garages, and other popular destinations. These locations are typically selected based on their proximity to popular destinations, and their willingness to provide charging as an amenity for Tesla drivers.
- Charging speed: Destination Chargers can deliver up to 80 amps of power to the vehicle’s onboard charger, which can add up to 44 miles of range per hour of charging.
- Payment: Tesla owners can use the Tesla mobile app to locate Destination Charging stations, monitor their charging progress, and pay for charging sessions. The cost of charging varies by location and time of day.
- Benefits for partners: In exchange for hosting Destination Charging stations, Tesla provides its partners with marketing support and exposure to Tesla’s customer base, which can help attract new customers and generate additional revenue.
Overall, Tesla Destination Charging provides a convenient and easy-to-use charging option for Tesla owners who need to charge their vehicles while parked at a destination. By partnering with a variety of businesses and locations, Tesla is able to expand its charging network and provide more options for its customers.
Is There A List Of All Tesla Destination Chargers In Oregon?
Because there is no official certification for destination chargers capable of charging Teslas, there is no official list of all the destination chargers in Oregon capable of charging Teslas.
The best way to find a destination charger in Oregon for your Tesla travels is to use the PlugShare page or app. You can filter the view to only show Tesla HPWCs, or to also show J-connector chargers or even NEMA 14-50 outlets– all which will work with Teslas provided that you have the appropriate adapters.
