Does anyone know what it costs to recharge a battery for an electric car? How much power does it take?

It’s free. You just plug it into that magic outlet and the energy just flows into it from nowhere.

Unless you are not a liberal, then you might just realize that in certain parts of the country, you are driving a coal-powered car.

Contrary to Carlucci, it’s not “free”, it’s just free to you, the Tesla driver. It’s paid for by Tesla and is wrapped into the car’s price, so long as you recharge at a Tesla rapid charging station. Tesla is accelerating the development and deployment of these stations.

Tesla tells me that the lifetime free power up policy will continue for the Model X due out next year.
