Why installing a charging station is important despite having an OEM Tesla unit

People often ask what the best charging station for the Tesla Model 3 is and how it's better than the charger that comes with the car. The Tesla OEM chargers that come with the car are a convenient option for when you need to recharge outside of normal conditions. However, they have their limitations that make them not really suitable for regular use.

First of all, the limited power of the charger is only 2.2 or 3 kW. This is usually not enough to fully charge your car, especially if you need to quickly recharge it to full capacity. In addition, the relays in OEM devices are not designed for frequent and prolonged use, which can lead to their rapid wear and tear and failure.

It is also worth considering that the regular Tesla chargers have limited functionality. Unlike more advanced charging stations, it does not allow you to track charging parameters, schedule it by time or use "smart" features that can be useful in everyday use.

As such, installing a charging station at home or at work can be very worthwhile. Charging stations typically have much more power, reaching up to 22 kW, which significantly reduces the time it takes to charge a Tesla electric car. They are also equipped with various safety mechanisms such as protection against voltage fluctuations, current leakage, and overheating.

Additional features such as smartphone charging control, the ability to schedule charging and track statistics make using a charging station even more convenient and efficient. And of course, in the long run, charging at home or at work can be more cost-effective than at public charging stations.

How to choose a charging station for the Tesla Model 3: key considerations

When choosing individual charging stations for a particular Tesla brand, there are a few key aspects to consider that will ensure your vehicle is optimally charged.

Many people are concerned about how to choose a charging station for Tesla and what kind of charger to get: universal or branded? In fact, you can forget about the myth about the need for special charging stations for Tesla. Any certified charging station will do, whether it's from Tesla or another manufacturer. What matters most is quality and safety. Choose a quality electric charging station with the proper certifications that will provide efficient charging for both Tesla and other electric vehicles. You don't want to overpay for a brand name. Often branded Tesla stations are similar units from other manufacturers, just labeled Tesla.

The choice of wattage and phase depends on the specifics of your car and your electrical grid. For European Tesla models with a Type 2 connector, 11kW or 22kW 3-phase chargers with a Type2 cable are the best options, providing fast charging without overloading the grid. For US Tesla models that use a Type 1 connector and operate on a single-phase grid, chargers with the appropriate wattage are suitable. If you have several electric vehicles, consider the energy consumption of the most "voracious" of them when choosing the power of the station.

Pay attention to balancing modules, which can help you charge your Tesla efficiently even if your grid power is limited. Use adapters if your Tesla has an American Type 1 connector and you plan to charge it at European stations. It's important to remember: a universal certified charging station is your best choice. When choosing a device, pay attention to wattage, number of phases, and safety certifications.

What a Tesla charger should be

Tesla owners, concerned about the comfort and safety of the electric car, think about buying chargers for Tesla Model 3. A home station allows you to charge your car quickly, conveniently, and without harming the battery. But what should the best charging station be?

Key charger features:

• - Electrocution protection (RCD) - prevents current leakage when in contact with a metal surface.
• - Ground monitoring - provides safety in case of insulation breakdown, disconnecting charging in case of danger.
• - Voltage Quality Check - prevents damage to vehicle electronics from high voltage.

Additional features such as remote access, display and others improve usability but do not affect safety.

Optimal places to charge Tesla electric vehicles

The best place to charge a Tesla is your home, where the car is waiting for your next trip. The electric car can be recharged from almost any 220V outlet. It is advisable to use a charger with a ground disconnect for safe charging in emergency situations.

Some resourceful owners charge their electric cars in apartment buildings using extension cords or carrying them through a window. However, this is not always safe, so a more reliable option is to run the wire down an elevator shaft or run the wire to a parking space in an underground garage.

Charging in a garage is usually the most convenient solution, as it provides proximity to your home and the availability of electricity.

Tips for properly charging Tesla electric cars

First of all, you need to make sure that the plug of the electric car is dry. Then plug the charger into an outlet and wait for the ready signal from the control unit.

It is important not to charge your car from a household outlet using a charging cable without a control unit, as this can damage your car. Preparation will only take a few seconds to a minute, depending on the manufacturer. Once you receive the Ready signal, you can connect the plug to the electric car.

Disconnecting the charger should also be done in the correct sequence. First, unlock your Tesla to stop the current draw process, then pull the plug out of the electric vehicle after a few seconds. And only after that, unplug the charger from the outlet.
