2. Choosing the Right Charger for Tesla

When selecting a Tesla charger, consider two main factors:

Power Source – e.g., standard 230V socket, high-power socket (CEE16A5P, CEE32A5P), or dedicated charging stations.

Onboard Charger Limitations – Each EV has a built-in charger that controls the transfer of energy from the power source to the battery. Knowing its maximum power and supported phases is crucial.

All Tesla models support AC charging up to 11 kW (3-phase, 16A per phase), making an 11 kW home charger the optimal choice.

3. Charging Examples and Charger Selection

Example 1: Home Charger (11 kW)

Power Source: 400V, industrial socket (CEE16A5P or CEE32A5P)
Car: Tesla Model 3 Long Range (75 kWh)
Calculation: 230V x 16A x 3 phases = 11 kW
Charging Time: 75 kWh / 11 kW ≈ 6 hours 48 minutes

Recommended Charger: AmperePoint Q11 – allows optimal use of onboard charging power.

Example 2: Standard 230V Socket

Power Source: Home 230V socket
Car: Tesla Model 3 Long Range (75 kWh)
Calculation: 230V x 16A x 1 phase = 3.7 kW
Charging Time: 75 kWh / 3.7 kW ≈ 20 hours

Recommended Charger: AmperePoint Q37 – works with a standard socket, but charging is slower.

Example 3: Single-Phase 32A Socket

Power Source: 230V 32A socket (e.g., with solar inverter)
Car: Tesla Model 3 Long Range (75 kWh)
Calculation: 230V x 32A x 1 phase = 7.4 kW
Charging Time: 75 kWh / 7.4 kW ≈ 10 hours

Recommended Charger: AmperePoint Q74 – optimized for single-phase charging.

4. Fast Charging at DC Stations

When traveling, Tesla owners can use fast DC charging, such as Tesla Superchargers, which offer power up to 250 kW (or 350 kW for V4 versions).

🔹 Tesla Supercharger Charging Time:
Charging from 10% to 90% takes about 20 minutes.
The first and last 10% charge more slowly to protect the battery.

🚗 Factors Affecting DC Charging Time:

🔹Ambient Temperature – Tesla preheats or cools the battery before charging.

🔹Charging Curve – Charging slows after reaching 80%.

📌 Recommended DC Charging: Keep between 10%-90%.

5. Tesla App – Charging Management

Tesla provides a mobile app with powerful charging features:
✅ Scheduled Charging – Set charging times for lower energy rates.
✅ Live Monitoring – Track battery level and charging progress.
✅ Power Adjustment – Adapt charging speed to your home setup.
✅ Cost Analysis – Check charging history and expenses.

🚀 Optimize Your Tesla Charging Experience

By choosing the right charging station and power setup, you can improve convenience, reduce costs, and extend battery life. For optimal performance, we recommend using a high-power 3-phase home charger like AmperePoint Q11 or Q11 with extra adapters ensuring fast, safe, and efficient charging for your Tesla.
