Tesla promised that...

“Additionally, all our Supercharger energy will be 100% renewable in 2021.”

Well, they still have a few hours left to make good on their promise. I’m sure they’ll do it. /s

““Additionally, all our Supercharger energy will be 100% renewable in 2021.””

LOL. They do have solar panels on top. I once counted the panes to figure out their generation. I think the station had 16 Superchargers. My estimation was that the solar panels could charge 1.25 cars, and then only if:

1. Daytime, near solar noon
2. No clouds
3. Summer (roof is flat)

The rest of the time, forget it.

Would be interesting to ask the customers gawking at the rooftops how much of their power they think are coming from the panels.
