Wrong pricing in Japan

Fairly sure the price is being miscalculated or incorrectly converted from Japanese yen to Australian dollar (aud). Plan a journey using Tesla superchargers eg Saitama to Kyoto, the kWh price is outrageously expensive and just looks wrong.

Hi Geoff
Do you know what the prices are in Japan?

Hi Linda, I have reached out to the Japan Tesla community to check the price (we’re in an ICE for this trip so can’t check in vehicle), hope to get kWh rate for you soon. But for some extra context in the mean time, here are some of the improbable rates showing in ABRP:

Gotemba, Japan (Tesla)
$228.09 AUD
6 mins charging / 6.1 kWh
37.33 A$/kwh

I’m almost certain this is off by 100x and the final price should be $2.2809 AUD.

Will update again when I can confirm the kWh rate in yen.

Hi Linda, found the issue. ABRP isn’t doing any currency conversion - it’s just sticking whatever currency code is in the user’s profile in front of the price.

See screenshots attached.

When I edit my user profile currency to YEN, ABRP shows it as yen and the prices are correct. When my profile is set to AUD the prices say AUD but are actually yen (and effectively 100x too much)

Cheers

So if you use YEN it's the correct prices?

I can’t be sure sorry. I don’t have the tesla here so I can’t actually tap on it in the car to see rates at the SC. The rates don’t show on Google either.

Ok. Can you please update us when you know what it is.
