Question

adding a second Tesla to a Charge Anytime account

Hi,

  I have been very happily using  Charge Anytime with my Tesla for the past 2 years. 
 My son is now also planning to get a Tesla but under a lease scheme. I believe he would have his Tesla account linked by the Lease company as a driver of the vehicle.

 The limitation on adding a second Tesla to your Charge Anytime account is you have to use the same Tesla account.
 Can this be achieved if the Tesla account I’m currently using is identified as  a driver of the leased Tesla?  I think added drivers get access to most features so I’m hoping this would work. Can anyone confirm this? 
 

Unfortunately I only have an older  Hypervolt V2 charger so that’s not yet compatible with Charge Anytime. 
 

Many Thanks

Rob

Hi @RobG-Reading , You can normally add more than one EV for Charge Anytime from within the Charge Anytime app. Under ‘connected cars’ you should see the option to add another vehicle at your home location. 
Is that option available to you?

Hi @BPLightlog, yes the  option to add a second car is available but when I try to add a second Tesla it says Charge Anytime can only be connected to a single Tesla app account. Since the second car will be a lease car then I’m not sure how this will work.  I’m hoping  that if my existing Tesla account is added as a driver of this leased car  then Charge Anytime will be able to connect in the same way as if I owned the car. Hopefully someone with a lease car will know as many Tesla cars must be on lease schemes.

Hiya!

Just checked with the Charge Anytime team. This should work fine as long as the existing Tesla account/app can be added as a driver of both Teslas. They don’t have to be the “owner” as such iirc - as long as you’re authorised. Make sure the SAME Tesla Account is linked to both Charge Anytime and ALL Teslas you want to use Charge Anytime with.

Please talk to the lease company if you need help to get added/authorised - they should be happy to add you to it.

I’d also chat with Hypervolt too - they did have a pretty sweet V2 → V3 hardware upgrade deal on offer that might still be active.

Hi @RobG-Reading,

 

It seems some good advice has already been given here by our forum volunteer Blastoise.
