Is 16A or 32A Better for Tesla Charging?
1 Answers
Tesla charging at 32A is faster than at 16A. The maximum power supported by Tesla's 220V home single-phase charging pile is 7Kw (32A), which is 220*32=7Kw. Converted to the MODEL3, it's approximately 50 kilometers per hour, and a full charge takes about 9 hours. However, charging usually leaves some margin, so an overnight charging time is sufficient. Here is additional information about Tesla's portable charging: 1. A charging connector with a gun, usually 200v, commonly supports manual adjustment (8, 10, 16A). 16A can charge about 25 kilometers per hour, mainly used for temporary charging when going out, and can be connected to a standard residential air conditioning socket. 2. Tesla also offers official portable charging. However, there is an exception, such as Tesla's original European standard portable charger and some customized portable chargers from Tesla car clubs available on certain platforms. With an adapter, they can support 380v16a or 220V32A charging. This rate is sufficient to be used as a main charging device.
