Tesla Opens Supercharger in Folsom

Tesla Motors, the California-based electric car maker, will celebrate the public opening if its Supercharging location at Folsom Premium Outlets with a ribbon cutting ceremony tomorrow, Friday, October 19th at 11:30 a.m.


WHAT: 
Tesla Supercharger Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

WHO:  
Brenda Sprouse, General Manager, Folsom Premium Outlets
Senator Ted Gaines
Sue Ryan, Public Information Officer, City of Folsom
Tesla Spokesperson Mike Taylor, VP of Finance

WHY:
Tesla Superchargers are the first charging stations placed between city centers to enable long distance driving in an electric vehicle and offer the most powerful electric vehicle (EV) charging technology to date. Tesla has placed charging stations at natural stopping points for long-distance travel, including coffee shops, outlet centers and hotel parking lots. The Superchargers currently work with Tesla Model S, the company’s most recent vehicle and the world’s first premium electric sedan.

WHEN: 
Friday, October 19th at 11:30 a.m.

WHERE: 
Folsom Premium Outlets, 13000 Folsom Blvd, Folsom, CA (near main entrance facing Iron Point Road)

VISUALS: 
 A Model S will be on-site to demonstrate charging speeds and capabilities.

About Tesla Supercharger Stations
Tesla first revealed the locations of the first six Supercharger stations on September 24th. These first superchargers will enable Model S to travel long distances throughout California, parts of Nevada and Arizona with ultra-fast charging. Superchargers can give road trippers half a charge in about 30 minutes. Supercharging provides Model S owners free long distance travel indefinitely. Overtime, each station will be connected to a solar power system designed to generate more energy than is consumed by vehicles using the Supercharger. This results in a positive transfer of sunlight-generated power back to the electricity grid.

About Tesla
Tesla Motors’ goal is to accelerate the world’s transition to electric mobility. Palo Alto, California-based Tesla designs and manufactures electric vehicles (EVs) such as the Tesla Roadster and Tesla Model S, as well as EV powertrain components for partners such as Toyota and Daimler.

About Model S
With the most energy-dense battery pack in the industry and best-in-class aerodynamics, Model S has the longest range of any production electric car in the world. Model S comes with three battery options to fit the unique needs of different drivers. The 85 kWh Model S has been certified by the U.S. EPA with a range of 265 miles*, giving it the best electrical vehicle range in the industry.
