What is the capacity of Tesla charging station application in kW?
2 Answers
Tesla charging station application capacity is 380v, 72kw. Additional information is as follows: 1. Tesla provides home charging station installation services for car owners: After ordering a vehicle, Tesla staff will contact the owner to understand the general information of the installation location. Then, Tesla's cooperative service provider will conduct an on-site survey of the specific charging environment and provide an accurate installation quote. After a successful survey, Tesla will send a home charging station, and the service provider will arrange a suitable installation time with the owner. 2. The installation cost of the charging station varies by region: Some areas offer direct subsidies, covering all materials and installation fees at no cost; however, in some regions, installing a Tesla charging station involves significant expenses for cables, charging boxes, and labor fees, with only the electric meter being free.
The application capacity for a Tesla charging station generally depends on the model you choose and your home's electrical situation. Having driven a Tesla for several years, I find the 11.5kW model to be the most common, corresponding to a 40A circuit capacity—fast enough and practical. If you want even faster charging, there’s a 19.2kW option, but it requires a 60A or higher circuit and more space in your electrical panel. Don’t rush the application; first, check with your power company to see if your home’s total load has any capacity left. A friend of mine applied for an additional 40A circuit, had an electrician inspect the wiring, and installed a new circuit breaker—it took some time, but the charging speed improved noticeably. An 11.5kW charger can refill 80% overnight, while the 19.2kW is even faster, ideal for frequent long-distance trips. I’d recommend starting with a 40A setup to avoid overloading and tripping the circuit. If you’re unsure, have a professional electrician assess your voltage stability and safety details—they know the local regulations.
