Irvine, Ca - Main Street Supercharger

PRICING

$0.31 / kWh

AI Overview

This station is in a covered, illuminated parking garage on Floor 1 with paid parking. Parking validation (a code) is available free for up to 45 minutes for Tesla owners; the code can be found in your car's navigation screen or in the Tesla app under site info for this location. The station has a mix of chargers at different power levels, but only some stalls are the faster 250kW units (marked with red Tesla signs); the remaining stalls are slower. Drivers frequently report much slower-than-advertised charging speeds across the station and note that chargers are not clearly labeled by speed, so arriving early to locate a faster stall is helpful.

  Super dishonest process... Nowhere on the app or on the location. Did it talk about submitting the validation code beforehand. As soon as you're at the kiosk there is no option to put the validation. And they just tell you to pay. I understand that it's only $3, but it's all about principal and it would have been nice to have a better experience by explaining on how to properly enter the validation instead of forcing people when you're stuck at the gate with a bunch of people behind you having a defensive security guard behind the intercom stand that you have to pay. He could have easily let me go through. I gave him the validation code but it's more of a trap forcing you to pay. He clearly knows that I was there to supercharge so why not let me through? It's a simple click of a button for them. That's definitely not the experience you want to have at a supercharger.

  You will be charged for the parking fee here! So be prepared to pay for your parking time here for sure!!!This Tesla supercharger station has only 5 superchargers up to 65kW and the rest are regular 55kW stations.

  Confusing - I called the parking help to get the code. I wasn’t clear which were the fastest chargers so I sat there for 10 minutes at a super slow one before I realize it was only 72. Look for the red Tesla signs - those are faster. Wish it was more obvious, but I’m a new Tesla owner so maybe it’s just me.

  For those of you who are new to Tesla, or just have a hard time with technology... The code is available in your car or in your app, when you click in the 'site info' for this location (and others that require codes). Do some homework before you leave a useless review on how you weren't able to figure out the free 45 minute time limit.

  Revised on December 23rd, 2022 So this plaza now offers free parking for Tesla owners for up to 45 minutes. Just simply type in the 4 digit code at the entry (you can find the numbers on your Tesla dash screen when you select the corresponding Supercharging Station), and you'll receive up to 45 minutes of free parking. But since this station only offers a measly 72kW max charging, you may not be able to completely top off your Tesla. But still, it is most likely the cheapest charging spot you'd find in the area for any peak hour charging. --- end of revision --- ***ATTENTION*** ***ATTENTION*** This spot charges for parking. Rate is $1.50 for every 15 minutes. And the entrance is on the Main St. side. Now that there is no misunderstanding like some reviewers have mentioned below, let's talk about this Supercharging location. $0.23 per kWh, 24 total stalls, and older 72kW max chargers. With current peak rate of $0.58 per kWh in majority of Superchargers in Southern California, this location makes for a GREAT place to charge if you are charging more than half of your range. By calculation, if I am charging my M3SR+ from 15% to 90%, approximately 48kW would be charged in about 40 minutes. This means, if I am to charge at this specific location, my charging fee would be about $11.04 + $4.50 in parking... which makes a total of $15.54 However, it would make no sense to come to this lot during off peak (9PM - 11AM) exactly because of the parking fees associated with this location. If I were to charge the same amount at a different location nearby during peak hours, my charging fee would amount to $27.84 What does it all mean? Do some number crunching and you can save some money! 😂 However, if you want faster charging, this location ain't it. Go to a nearby location for that purpose.
