Use the Tesla app to find a compatible charger. It's that easy.
You should be able to add a non Tesla vehicle.

 

Add vehicle, and adapter. Tesla app will then only show compatible locations.

 

In Calgary Downtown East there are a number of Tesla Super Chargers and the lesser Tesla chargers at Pixel Park. Since you are in a Lightning like me, you will need to park at an angle on the end spot like I did to charge. Expect to pay roughly $50 CDN and change depending on your amount.

 

And reminder you need a NACS to CCS1 DC adapter. However, Tesla is the way to go when you find compatible, version 3 and higher chargers.

 

I'm in BC and just used the Tesla supercharger for the first time on the weekend. Crazy expensive compared to BC Hydro fast (380Kwh) charger. BC hydro is .36/per kw and Tesla was .49/kw No problems charging with the new Ford adapter but I won't be using Tesla again unless I have no other choice.

 

How else can the world richest man remain so?

 

Tesla rates will vary depending on time of day and demand. I got charged $.18 per kwhr early on a Sunday morning in Georgia. Typically I pay $.31 using my Tesla subscription when traveling. It’s much cheaper than most any other option in the southern US.

 

I'm sure charging an extra .13 kw is going to increase Elons net worth. BC Hydro on the other hand charging .36kw for their cheap power seems excessive. Come to northern Alberta where $61 worth of energy cost $394 after all the taxes and Atco delivery charges. That is a ripoff.

 

ABRP (A Better Route Planner) has been amazing for finding Tesla (and now Rivian) stations that are open to Fords.

 

I charged @ the Tesla Super Charging station at Pixel Park Downtown in Calgary, AB. The average bill was $55.00 Cdn. I then tried the Charge Point @ Co-Op in NW of Calgary and I paid on average $30.00. With Tesla SuperCharger, I was normally charged within 1/2 hour. With ChargePoint I would be done in 70 minutes tops if I was at 200 km of battery availability.

 

Sure. Those are ChargePoint CPE250 chargers. They max out at 62.5 kW. The good news is a fairly flat charging curve but will take twice as long. They're great for restaurant stops where you don't need a really fast charge, just a fairly fast charge.

 

The main thing is that not all Tesla stations will work. Use the Ford charge finder app to make sure the Tesla station you're looking at is compatible with Ford. Obviously you need an adapter but I found mine works just fine. Make sure to have your dealer register you with Ford and then go online and request a free adapter. It may take a few months to get. Also I heard of people getting double charged if they use the Tesla app and the Ford automatic charging feature so be sure to use one or the other. In your case it sounds like you may want to just use the Tesla app and turn off the Ford automatic charging feature

 

I use the Tesla app and don’t turn off the plug n charge. It’s important to activate the charging session before you plug in the truck. The Tesla app will also point you only to stations that are compatible. Tesla App>Menu>Charge your other EV
