other data about the tesla would be ,what was average cost per kilowatt hr. How many hours were spent charging ,and how far could you go on a average charge.
Looks like a great trip ,beautiful scenery,and apparently trouble free travel
So I found the screen shot I took of the Tesla app on day 31 of our trip. Unfortunately the app uses a sliding 31 day window so I don't have the whole 7 week trip. But this is probably indicative of the average kilowatt costs. It might have gotten a little cheaper towards the end as we were using more BC hydro and FLO DC fast chargers in southern BC and they tend to be a little cheaper than Superchargers. All numbers in Canadian dollars.
So the way the APP breaks it down is three colours.
Blue is charging at home. There is none because, well, we weren't at home :)
Red is supercharger which was most of our DC fast charging except for a little BC hydro or FLO charging later in the trip and maybe once at field BC in the early days of the trip.
Grey is "other" mostly no cost to us charging, which includes driveway charging at relatives, campgrounds and some free public charging at tourist info and welcome centres, but also a couple FLO and BC hydro stations that the Tesla App doesn't know how much they were. Probably about 30 to 35 bucks worth or maybe a little less. Looks like for at least that 31 days the average is around 38 cents per kwh. At the end of 31 days we were probably around the 2/3 point in the trip but not sure.
Hope that answers your questions. Sorry I can't be more accurate. We made a reasonable attempt at tracking some of this stuff but were more focused on destinations and hikes etc.
Cheers.
