Can we use Tesla charging stations?

The Energi uses a max of 240 volts 16 amps AC.  A Tesla supercharger uses more than 400 volts DC at up to 120 kW which is around 250 amps DC.  That would destroy the 7.6 kWh Energi battery in a flash.

 

A Tesla can be charged from a standard J1772 EVSE.  No Tesla EVSE provides charging via a J1772 connector.  When destination charging is set up there may be standard J1772 EVSEs installed in addition to the Tesla EVSEs.  It depends on what the owner of the property wants.

 

EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment).  That's what came with your Energi.  The charger is built into the car.

 

Usage  is light on the east coast except on holiday weekends.  On the west coast lines are likely to form waiting to charge.
