Does Tesla include a charging station with car purchase?
2 Answers
Purchasing a domestically produced Tesla requires additional payment for the charging station, while imported Teslas come with a complimentary charging station. Below is an introduction to mobile portable chargers: 1. Home Version Charger: This charger has rated voltage and current of 220V and 8A respectively, capable of charging 12km per hour. It can be used with a standard air conditioning socket, but an additional ground wire is required; otherwise, it will trigger an alarm and fail to charge. 2. Industrial Version Charger: Rated charging parameters: 380V voltage, 16A current, achieving a charging speed of 60km/h. This socket requires an additional industrial socket and can only be used with three-phase power.
I picked up a Tesla Model Y last year, and it did come with a portable charger as standard equipment, which can be plugged into a household socket for slow charging—quite handy for trips. However, if you want to install a fixed wall-mounted charging station at home, you’ll need to pay extra, costing around 2,000-3,000 RMB, with additional installation fees. I didn’t buy it at the time and have been using the included portable charger for daily commutes, which suffices. But if you frequently take long trips, installing a fixed station would save more time. Just a heads-up: promotions may vary, so it’s best to confirm the details with the salesperson before purchasing.
