| Titre | Tesla review: What you need to know about charging |
| Texte | Before you buy an electric car, you need to understand charging. It's a huge deal. You think it works almost like filling the gas tank. It doesn't. Before going on long trips, you first need to do math and a bit of planning.The MathLike BMW model numbers indicate engine size, Tesla model numbers indicate the size of the battery, so my "Tesla S P90D" has a 90kwh (killowatt-hour) battery, with a 286mile range. Their lowest end model is the “Tesla S 60â€, which has a 60kwh hour battery, or a 208mile advertised range.In the United States, a typical plug is a 120volt circuit with a maximum of 15amps. Doing the math, this is how long it'll take for me to recharge the battery: That's right, 1.4 days (or 2.1 days for a 90kwh car). This is the absolute worse case scenario, mind you, but it demonstrates that you have to pay attention to charging. You can't simply drive up to a station, fill up the tank in a couple minutes, and drive away.Let's say you live in Austin, Texas, and you have a meeting in Dallas. You think that you can drive up to Dallas in your new Tesla S 60, let the car charge while you are in the meeting, and then drive home. Or, maybe you have dinner there, letting the car charge longer. Or maybe you even stay overnight.Nope, even 24 hours later, you still might not have enough charge left to get home. At 195 miles, it's at the range of the 60kwh battery, which would take more than a day to recharge using a normal electric circuit. Faster ChargingThat was a worst case scenario. Luckily, you probably won't be charging using a normal 120volt/15amp circuit. That's just the emergency backup if all else fails.In your home, for high-watt devices like ovens, air conditioners, and clothes dryers, you have higher wattage circuits. The typical max in your home will be a 240volt/50amp circuit. It has a different power connector than a normal circuit, thicker wires, and so forth. Doing the math on this sucker, you get: For our 190 mile drive, then, you can except to drive to Dallas, charge during the meeting and dinner for 5 hours, then you'll have enough juice to get back home.When you buy a Tesla, the first thing you'll do is hire and electrician, and for $1000 to $5000, pay them to install this high-end circuit in your garage or car port. Since you garage is usually where the circuit breaker is located anyway, it's usually the low-end of this range. You have to choose either the NEMA 14-50 plug, which can be used to power any electric car, or the Tesla HPWC (“High Power Wall Chargerâ€) that just bundles the cord and everything together, making it easier t |
