Can Tesla be charged with a regular charging station?
2 Answers
Tesla can be charged with a regular charging station: Other charging methods are as follows: 1. Home charging socket: Most domestic households in China use 220V/40A meters, with sockets typically being 10A or 16A. Charging can be done using the charging cable provided by TESLA, connected with the appropriate plug, and selecting the charging current via the central control. 220V/10A charging provides 2.2kWh per hour, allowing for a range of 7-10 kilometers, and takes about 40 hours to fully charge from empty; 220V/16A charging provides 3.52kWh per hour, allowing for a range of 10-18 kilometers, and takes about 25 hours to fully charge from empty. 2. Dedicated charging socket: Apply for a 40A meter or upgrade the existing meter, and charge using the NEMA14-50 socket with the appropriate plug, connected to the vehicle's charging cable. 220V/40A charging provides 8.8kWh per hour, allowing for a range of 40-50 kilometers, and takes about 10 hours to fully charge from empty. 3. Tesla charger: Apply for an 80A meter or upgrade the existing meter, and charge by installing a wall-mounted dedicated charger. 220V/80A charging provides 17.6kWh per hour, allowing for a range of 80-100 kilometers, and takes about 5 hours to fully charge from empty.
I've been driving a Tesla for almost three years and often use regular charging piles in my residential underground garage. The Tesla comes with a charging interface that adapts to the national standard, so you can just plug into a regular 7kW slow charging pile and start charging via the mobile app. Last time I went back to my hometown county, there were only roadside regular charging piles, which could add about 50 kilometers per hour, and a full night's charge could replenish 400 kilometers. However, in emergencies, you still need to find a supercharger. Regular piles have a maximum current of 32A, while superchargers can go up to 250A. Remember to check the charging pile compatibility icon—those with the new national standard GB/T are all compatible.
