1 Answers
Tesla's second and third generation charging stations, setting aside installation services and maintenance cycles, actually have no changes in charging performance. The main differences are a more compact appearance, a tempered glass panel surface, and the addition of Wi-Fi connectivity. Specific details are as follows: 1. Power: Tesla's third-generation wall-mounted home charging station supports both 220-volt and 380-volt connections. When using a single-phase 220-volt connection, all vehicle models have a charging current of 32 amps and a charging power of 7 kilowatts. With a three-phase 380-volt connection, the Model 3 and Model Y have a charging current of 16 amps and a charging power of 11 kilowatts; the Model S and Model X also have a charging current of 16 amps and a charging power of 11 kilowatts. 2. Temperature: The operating temperature range of Tesla's third-generation home charging station is from -30 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for use in most regions across the country. The charging station's protection level meets the IP54 standard, allowing for both indoor and outdoor use, except during extreme weather conditions like typhoons. Additionally, the third-generation charging station includes Wi-Fi connectivity.
