Description
Home charging is one of the first questions a new Tesla owner asks. What current to choose, are 3 phases needed, will the outlet handle a full charge overnight.
Recommendations from chat
- For an 82 kWh battery — 13-16 A is enough for overnight top-ups (~25-30 kWh per night); a full cycle on a single 16 A phase takes ~22-24 hours — getting it done in 8-10 hours requires 3 phases (9-11 kW).
- 3 phases (380V) — ideal for fast home charging, but not mandatory.
- DC fast charging at home — does not exist in residential format.
- Tire inflators powered from the cigarette lighter can throw a current error — standalone battery-powered ones are better (Xiaomi and similar).
- If wheels are completely flat — jack the car up first, then inflate.
