Tesla Chargers: Things You Should Know

If you own a Tesla vehicle, you know all the hassles of finding a public charging station. Tesla vehicle owners with Tesla chargers installed in their condo complexes or houses are luckier than those with no such privilege. So, if you are one of those unlucky ones then you should consider installing a Tesla charger on your property. But before you do that, there are certain considerations to keep in mind related to Tesla wall charger installation. Keep reading to learn more.

The Types of Tesla Chargers

Superchargers are the best when it comes to performance and energy consumption. You'll need to invest significant time and resources to install them, but they're worth the effort because they can provide 170 miles of range per hour of charge. In less than an hour, your car gets fully charged. However, keep in mind that these chargers may exhaust the battery life of your electric vehicle. So, if you need a Tesla wall charger for your home, you will do away with a standard charger that can recharge your vehicle overnight.

Destination chargers are often found in hotels and restaurants. They have a slower charging speed than superchargers, often taking 1-12 hours to fully charge a vehicle. Offices might also install a destination charger in their vicinity to let everyone charge their vehicle while they're at work.

Tesla Trip Planner

Tesla Superchargers on the road should be part of your trip's route. These chargers are akin to regular vehicle gas stations and charge you for the total amount of energy you've used to charge your vehicle. Your Supercharger can only take your vehicle as far as its batteries can last. Tesla's Go Anywhere app lets you find superchargers and destination chargers in your area.

Keep in mind that only select countries have Tesla chargers on the road. You can view the map here.
