How to Charge a Tesla Without a Charging Station?
2 Answers
Tesla can be charged without a dedicated charging station by using a conversion adapter. With the national standard charging port adapter provided by Tesla, you can convert the circuit to use ordinary charging stations in China. Preparation: Before heading to your destination, owners need to do their homework to ensure there are Tesla charging stations or ordinary charging stations along the way that are open and available for use. Model3: Currently, the Tesla model available for sale in China is the Model3, a mid-size car equipped with a ternary lithium battery. The official range according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 445km, 668km, and 530km. The Model3 comes in three variants, all with identical body dimensions: length 4.694 meters, width 1.85 meters, height 1.443 meters, and a wheelbase of 2.875 meters.
After driving a Tesla, I often encounter situations without charging stations, but there are actually many solutions. The most basic method is to use a regular household socket with the mobile charger that comes with the Tesla. Simply plug it in to charge, although the speed is very slow—only adding a few dozen kilometers overnight, which is suitable for emergency use when staying at home. When I'm out, I use apps to locate public charging stations, such as TELD and Star Charge, which have fast-charging stations that can replenish most of the battery in half an hour. Sometimes, when shopping at malls or staying at hotels, I take advantage of the free or paid charging spots they provide. Remember not to let the battery run completely empty; maintaining a charge level between 40% and 80% can extend its lifespan. In short, don’t panic if you don’t have a dedicated charging station—utilizing everyday facilities can easily solve your charging needs.
