Can Tesla Charging Piles Charge NIO Cars?
1 Answers
Tesla charging piles use three-phase electricity, and the charging voltage and power are different from NIO's, so they cannot charge NIO cars. However, with slight modifications, charging is possible. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Using NIO's charging pile: If you want to charge both cars simultaneously, you can only remove Tesla's charging pile and install NIO's charging pile in the original location, allowing the two cars to charge alternately. The downside is a significant decrease in charging speed. A full charge typically takes over four hours for Tesla, while NIO requires about ten hours. 2. Drawing three-phase electricity: You can draw 220V from Tesla's three-phase electricity for NIO's charging pile. Both cars cannot be charged simultaneously, but Tesla's three-phase charging capability is retained. Unplug the charging pile, press the button, and the AC charging port will open automatically, similar to Tesla's automatic recognition feature.
