Why It’s a Great Time to Sell Your Tesla!

Are you a Tesla Owner?

In 2020, The Prime Minister, Transport Secretary and Business Secretary announced the end of the sale of new fossil fuels cars and vans in the UK by 2030. The announcement is in accordance with the UK’s plan to end its contribution to climate change and become the fastest G7 country to decarbonise cars and vans.

There has been a surge in the volume of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles sold. In 2021, the volume of electric and plug-in hybrid cars sold increased by 76.3% 2020. And this trend is not slowing down. According to Glasgow Times, there were more than 420,000 pure-electric cars on UK roads and over 780,000 plug-in models as at February 2022.

The Market & Environmental Responsibility for Motorists is Changing

With the proposed ban date on the sale of new fossil fuel cars and vans drawing ever closer on the horizon, the sales of electric vehicles like Tesla is forecasted to rise exponentially. The expanding consumer demand means you will get a juicy offer on your Tesla. I know it might sound odd selling your Tesla when people are switching to electric cars.

But look at it this way, selling your Tesla now means you always most-likely get a good deal. 

Because there is a hungry market for used Teslas since many people can’t afford a brand new Tesla coupled with the limits in the number of units produced.

That means you get more value…good money on your sale. And with Tesla improving its cars, you might get a newer model with greater range or more features. 

In some cases you might just add little amounts of money since you got a good deal on the sale of your current Tesla. Also, If your Tesla’s battery and performance has degraded, you might also want to consider selling to get another one whose performance is still on steroids. The odds are stacked in favour of sellers in the used electric car market right now. The next hurdle to cross is getting a highly competitive valuation from a trusted buyer such as We Love Tesla.

Tesla Gives Non-Tesla EVs Access To Its Supercharger Network In The UK…Why?

Why is Tesla opening up it’s charging Network to other EV manufacturers? We Love Tesla Investigates:

On the 18th of May, Tesla announced it was opening up its proprietary supercharger network immediately to non-Tesla EVs in the UK.

The supercharger network consists of a collection of superchargers designed for incredible fast charging-typically allowing you to recharge your electric car battery in less than 60 minutes. 

Tesla operates two types of superchargers in the UK-V2 units with 150KW and V3 units with a power output of 250KW.

The supercharger network is owned and operated by Tesla itself, while third parties are allowed to operate other charging networks. 

This announcement by Tesla gives users of non-Tesla electric vehicles (EVs) access to their supercharger network in the UK and in other countries like Belgium, Sweden, and Austria where Tesla’s supercharger network was opened up.

There’s been previous successful trials in the Netherlands, France, Germany, and Norway before this announcement.

Tesla has over 650 chargers and 98 charging sites in the UK, but only 15 stations with 158 individual superchargers took part in the pilot opening up in the UK. That’s 25% of the total capacity.

The sites are;

  • Aviemore
  • Adderstone
  • Aberystwyth
  • Banbury
  • Birmingham St Andrews
  • Cardiff
  • Dundee
  • Flint Mountain
  • Folkestone  Eurotunnel
  • Grays
  • Manchester Trafford Centre
  • Wokingham
  • Thetford
  • Trumpington
  • UXbridge

Tesla drivers will continue to access these stations like before with the brand monitoring congestion and customer experiences.

And Non-Tesla drivers too can now access it. They’ll need to have the Tesla app on their smartphone to access the superchargers. After downloading the app, they create a Tesla account and select “Charge Your Non-Tesla”, then find a supercharger site. 

They then add a payment method, plug-in their car, select a stall and tap “Start Charging”. When they’re done, they select “Stop Charging” to end the charging session.

The charging prices vary with location, but non-Tesla owners will pay more than Tesla owners.

Non-Tesla owners can access at an average price of £0.60 per KWh. And there’s also an option to pay a £10.99 membership fee to access lower charging prices of around £0.50 per KWh.

In contrast, Tesla owners pay an average of £0.26 per KWh .

The supercharging network is for non-Tesla EVs compatible with Supercharger Type 2 CCS connector. Even if the supercharger has two cables, non-Tesla owners can only use the CCS connector. 

Why is Tesla Opening Up It Supercharging Network To Non-Tesla Owners 

According to Tesla, it’s opening up its supercharger network to non-Tesla owners to accelerate the transitioning of the world to sustainable energy.

Because they believe providing access to an extensive, convenient, and reliable fast-charging network will encourage more people to adopt EVs on a large-scale.

And getting more customers to use their supercharger network in this pilot opening will help them learn and iterate quickly, so they can eventually open their supercharging network to all EVs worldwide.
