A Tesla station is a planned second version of the ''Tesla supercharger station''〔〔(Tesla station )〕 that as of June 2013 was planned to be provided by Tesla Motors to support owners of Tesla automobiles with proprietary charging station services, and was projected to be able to support both battery pack swaps as well as fast recharging of the Tesla Model S electric vehicle battery packs.〔 〕〔 〕 , 18 months after the announcement, no battery swapping stations had yet opened to the public.〔 The existing first-generation ''Tesla supercharger stations'' allow Tesla cars to be fast-charged—in less than an hour—at the network, for no payment. there were 2,000 superchargers in 400 stations worldwide. In October 2014 there were 119 standard Tesla supercharger stations operating in the United States, 76 in Europe, and 26 in Asia. In December 2014 the company announced a revision to their much-delayed〔http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/15/teslas-battery-swap-stations-december/〕〔 plans. A single battery-swap station is to open in California in late-December, where only invited Model S owners may do battery swaps by appointment, as part of a pilot program to assess technical and economic aspects of the service. Demand for the priced service—which is now expected to take three minutes (instead of the 90-second time previously demonstrated)—will be used to determine whether the company will commercialize battery swapping stations more generally.〔 The originally announced plan in the June 2013 announcement explicitly indicated that the company would eventually upgrade all existing Tesla supercharger stations to become Tesla stations, which would offer the battery-pack swap for the Model S in addition to the fast recharge capability that each facility initially opened with.〔 ==History== In June 2013, Tesla announced the goal to deploy a battery swapping station in each of its existing supercharging stations, now to be renamed ''Tesla stations''.〔 At an event at Tesla's design studio in Los Angeles, CEO Elon Musk demonstrated a battery swap operation with the Model S, which took just over 90 seconds each for the two cars participating in the demo. The swapping operation took less than half the time needed to refill a gasoline-powered car used for comparison purposes during the event.〔 〕〔 〕 The Tesla model S was designed from the beginning to support fast battery swapping,〔 〕 with Tesla publicly discussing the capability as early as March 2009.〔(Tesla unveils world’s first mass-produced, highway-capable EV )〕 There were eight initial supercharger stations〔 (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger )〕 around the United States, located at strategic points on the Boston-to-Washington and Los Angeles-to-San Francisco highway corridors. By mid-July 2013, 15 were open across the United States,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger )〕 with the number expected to nearly double by the end of the summer.〔 The company has also stated that there will be stations along the Highway 401 corridor between Toronto and Montreal in Canada by 2014. The number of supercharger stations grew dramatically in 2013 and 2014—to 280 by the end of 2014—but the 2012 promise of net-energy-positive solar-powered supercharger stations, and the 2013 promise of battery-swapping stations, have both not been met. Only two of the supercharger stations are solar powered, and no battery swapping stations have yet opened to the public. 〔 〕 On 19 December 2014, Tesla announced revised plans. They will now build only a single battery-swapping station, and they will institute a "Battery Swap Pilot Program" at that selected station in Harris Ranch, California in order to "assess demand." Only invited Model S owners will be able to participate in the pilot battery swaps. "Tesla will evaluate relative demand from customers ... to assess whether it merits the engineering resources and investment necessary" for the upgrade of additional first-generation supercharger stations.〔 〕 In June 2015, Tesla announced that of 200 invitations sent out to try the pilot pack swap station, only approximately five tried it. And each of those did a swap only once. Tesla is now inviting all California Model S owners to try it out, but is expecting a low usage rate.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tesla station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
