What is the amperage for Tesla home charging?
2 Answers
Tesla home charging uses a current of 32A. Precautions for car charging: During the charging process, measure the density and voltage of the electrolyte approximately every hour and check the temperature. When the temperature exceeds 40 degrees, reduce the charging current by half. If the temperature continues to rise above 45 degrees, stop charging and resume only after cooling below 35 degrees. Precautions for car batteries: First, adjust the liquid level of the battery to the specified height using distilled water or a dedicated battery replenishment solution. Before charging, connect the battery to be charged according to the rated voltage and current of the charging equipment. After charging, check the density of the battery's electrolyte.
Hey, I've been driving a Tesla for a few years and often charge at home. I usually set the current to 32 amps because charging is fast and stable at 240 volts, taking about five to six hours to fully charge. I have a Tesla Wall Connector installed in my garage, and after setting it to 32A, I find it efficient and not too power-consuming. The current selection range is wide, from 16A to 48A, but 48A requires a home circuit with a 60-amp capacity, otherwise, it can easily overheat. My home circuit has a 40A limit, so 32A is a safe choice for me. It's advisable to check if your car model supports high current; for example, the Model 3 supports up to 48A, but professional installation is recommended for safety. In short, choosing the right current makes the charging experience much easier.
