Tesla Asks Twitter Users to Pick Next Supercharger Location via a Poll

Tesla will permit customers to pick out the following location of its Supercharger for quick charging the corporate’s electrical automobiles (EVs) on Twitter. The agency revealed on Thursday that it will permit customers to vote on the corporate’s subsequent Supercharger location through a ballot, after they urged places that required the corporate’s quick EV chargers. Tesla’s Superchargers can add as much as 200 miles (or 321 km) price of cost in quarter-hour, in keeping with the corporate, which operates one of many largest quick charging networks on the earth. 

On Thursday, Tesla’s devoted Twitter account for charging (@TeslaCharging) tweeted: “Supercharger Voting coming quickly. Reply with location options – replies with probably the most likes might be included within the ballot.” Nevertheless, earlier than customers can vote, they should recommend places that can ultimately be a part of the corporate’s ballot. 

The tweet asking customers to offer places reveals that the ballot would be the second part of the corporate’s try to establish the following location for its Superchargers. A number of customers have already responded to the tweet with screenshots of maps with empty areas circled, revealing the shortage of Superchargers in these places. 

In the meanwhile, there isn’t a phrase from the Tesla Charging account on when the crowdsourced ballot to choose the following Supercharger location will go reside. The corporate may permit customers the flexibility so as to add extra places as responses earlier than it creates a ballot asking customers to choose a brand new location. 

Tesla hasn’t specified if the ballot might be held on Twitter. It is price noting that Twitter polls solely permit customers to choose one out of 4 choices, so Tesla may ultimately have to pick out solely 4 of the responses that obtain probably the most likes. It’s potential that the corporate will ultimately work in direction of including Superchargers to most places urged by customers through the crowdsoucing initiative.
