So we could not afford a Tesla, but found a spunky BMW i3 that we love. In our neighborhood in Washington Heights, Manhattan, there are few EV charging stations that are compatible, but there lots of Tesla Destination chargers that are sitting around unused and are free!!!! with one caveat: if they are in a garage you pay for the parking. Note that Tesla sells these chargers but does not operate them. The electricity is from the destination that installs them; they pay for it.
So we bought a Lectron Tesla to J-1772 adapter. Have not tried it yet but will report in when we do!
This is what we bought:
There are competitors:
I will report back once we have given it a try!
