What are the pros and cons of charging a Tesla at Public Charging Stations?
Public charging stations are often the fastest and most efficient ways to charge your Tesla Model Y. It can take under an hour to charge your Model Y if you use rapid chargers at a public charging point. You can find public charging stations all over the country.

Pros
Public charging stations are the only place you'll find rapid or ultra-rapid charging, although not all public charging networks provide these speeds. This is the fastest way to charge your EV. Some charging stations are free, such as Pod Point's Tesco charging points.

Cons
The biggest problem with this option is there's too much variety. Trying to figure out how to find the right charging station that meets your requirements can get complicated. Each network has different locations, different prices and different apps.
