This fee then takes over the role of today's idle fee , which only kicks in when the Supercharger station is at least half full and the car is no longer charging. Makes it very expensive with "full tank" Congestion fees, on the other hand, will start to run as soon as the car's battery passes a predetermined current level, which is currently set at 90 percent. When this happens, an extra dollar is added - that is, about one krona - per minute of charging. The graph is a bit old, but it illustrates the point
