Keep the charge between 30% and 70%! I’m a battery engineer with Tesla S and X ownership experience since 2014. I also live just 15 minutes from the Texas Gigafactory. Don’t take advice from people who haven’t owned an EV for over 10 years or lack a proper education on the subject, period.

Always read your car's manual for proper charging instructions and best day-to-day practices. Depending on the chemistry of the battery, you will have different charging profiles. Tesla uses three main cathode chemistries. NCA, NCM, and LFP > all three chemistries having different voltage curves, especially LFP. Just read your manual on the subject or contact Tesla. Don't listen to people online, everyone claims to be an expert.

[@hershilparekh8654]

Are you always supposed to have it on charge at home and schedule it

[@GForceIntel]

Hey, so Tesla says on their website that it's better to leave your car plugged in at home even when it's fully charged. Apparently, the car does some stuff that can degrade the battery if you let it lose charge and then recharge it. They say it's better to just keep it plugged in and let it do its thing. I've also heard that it's not good to let your battery go below 20% or above 80%.

[@Classicman.43]

Tesla's Battery Management System is smart enough to avoid sending too much current to the battery, the same thing you're claiming will damage it by way of frequent Supercharging. Now I could be wrong but there are reports out there that I would have rather seen you reference; this coming from someone who does have a "stove outlet" in my 2 car garage. Thanks for the video regardless - obviously I'm interested in what you have to say as I clicked and plan on continuing to watch all the way through. Good stuff and I like your editing style! Rock awn.

[@griffinsgarage96]

There’s been conflicting evidence over the years, but different studies come to different conclusions. Plus, overall degradation over the long term is hard to pin on one variable alone. Nonetheless, proper preconditioning is a must. And I was joking about the stove outlet haha. Thanks for watching! Hope you clicked subscribe

[@tuan.hoang_]

Batteries eventually degrade. Frequent Supercharging will speed up the degradation. It won't destroy the battery instantly, but you'll definitely lose range *faster* compared to someone who charge slower at 120/240V. Engineering Explained has a video on this topic.

[@kidamere2408]

​@@tuan.hoang_but there's plenty of real world videos with people using for taxis/Uber who have 3 to 400k on original battery that supercharger 2 or 3 times a day everyday and it's still holding about 90 percent of original charge

[@griffinsgarage96]

[@ryanisright3559]

Here's the thing, I live in an appartement and can't charge daily at home. There's public chargers of course. But unlike homeowners, I can't just plug it in whenever I don't use the car or let's say every night. I charge when I hit 30/40 and charge it up to 80. I don't use it that much so I maybe charge 1x per week. Is that harmful?

[@guillaumelafleche9477]

You said that lower voltage is better, but do you mean lower current is better? My level 2 Tesla connector can charge my model 3 between 5 and 32 A but voltage is practically constant on a given connector. I charge each night at the lowest possible current that will be projected to be done by 7 am because I suspect that lower current is gentler on the battery and I like how it is more likely to keep the battery warm by morning as opposed to charging before midnight and then the battery has all night to cool.

[@senaxyva]

I have a 2022 model three RWD. I always charge 100% I drive a lot around 5000 miles a month now I have 136,000 miles. It went from 272 miles of range to 256 in 29 months.

Good data, thanks for sharing!

[@benkanobe7500]

Your car is following the Science, not the popular opinion. Few on YT are engineers doing real research using reliable data. Your car is right where it should be and will have very little degradation over the next 100K miles. Most degradation takes place in the first 30K miles. Also, there is ZERO statistically significant data that suggest Super Charging using the Navigate to Super Charger function and regularly charging using JUST Super Chargers will degrade your battery. It is all urban legend that Super Charging will harm your battery, not science. The non-technical folks on KZbin live in an echo chamber and just repeat the reverberations of others without ever researching real technical data.

Hi, Recently, I acquired a new Tesla Model Y 2025 and would appreciate your recommendations and advice on charging since I do not own a house and must utilize supercharging stations. I am particularly interested in determining whether it is more advantageous to use a slower or faster supercharger. Additionally, I would like to know if it is necessary to wait until the battery reaches 20% before charging to 80% using either Level 2 or Level 3 Chargers. Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter. I reside in the United States.

[@christiankoehler3113]

I own a Tesla model 3 performance year 2023. I’ve used 2nd stage chargers 85% of the time.,15% supercharging. I do not have a garage so I’ve found an apartment complex that I go to to charge up. The car charges for about four hours..The apartment complex is about a quarter mile away from my work. I use an electric scooter to get to my job site.While the car changes.(there are foldable scooters that can be put in your trunk.) The scooter has been God sent. I’m 66 years old and have fun riding it.(-: I keep my range between 20 and 80%! Some say that supercharging is bad while others say it’s OK. If you do supercharge precondition your battery first before pulling into the supercharger..

[@banternbullshit]

I charge mine through the use of an extension cord. Haven’t had any over heating problems. Very informative video. I only charge my Tesla to 100 percent once a week. That’s the only time I use a super charger. I keep it plugged in on the mobile charger.

[@griffinsgarage96]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@ddb5736]

For the home charger, unless you need to charge a lot and fast, don't bother with the wall charger. Just get the portable one with the the correct 220 Volt adapter and figure out in your home where to plug it (usually the electric dryer and the electric stove will have that connection). It charges almost as fast as the wall charger and you don't need to run a dedicated line to the panel. Depending of the location, all you need is either an extension cord for 220 Volt or to do a quick line install which is easier to run from an already installed outlet than directly from the panel. The only downside is that you cannot use the charger and the appliance at the same time. In my case, I ran it from the dryer outlet which is in my garage and installed the new outlet by the garage door, made a hole on the wall next to it and installed a small box on the outside. This way I have access to the charger from both inside the garage and outside, just need to pass the charger plug through the wall.

[@clevbo5527]

@@ddb5736 did you do it by yourself? I have the panel in the garage but not with a 220V breaker.

It does not charge almost as fast as the wall connector. The mobile connector is 2.5 kWh max whereas the wall connector goes up to 11 kWh.

[@MohamadAlb]

@ I don’t know about North America, but where I live, voltage is usually 230V. Typically, for wall connector installed at home they use 3-phase power, so it’s 230V * 16A * 3 = 11 kW.

[@griffinsgarage96]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kungfoochicken08]

Not enough people talk about the importance of using a 20amp outlet over a 15amp if you’re doing level 1. It brings your charging speed from 2kW to 2.9kw, nearly 70% increase in speed.

[@dubmob151]

With the 70 to 40 charging regimen, what's the effective range in miles?

[@dubmob151]

15A at 120V is 1.8kW, 20A at 120V is 2.4kW. How did it work out to 2.9kW ? It shouldn't be drawing 20A continuous even if the breaker is a 20A breaker.

[@kungfoochicken08]

@@dubmob151 You’re right. Completely messed up the numbers on that one. 20amp charging pulls 16amp continuously for 1.9kWh charging. 15amp does 1.4kWh. On a SR+ Model 3 increasing from 15amp to 20amp being your charging speed from 7 miles and hour to 10. That doesn’t sound like a lot but if you’re charging for 10 hours overnight, that brings you from 70 miles of charge to 100. If you don’t commute far, a lot of people could get by using only a 20amp charger.

[@DanielIgla]

People worry too much about how to charge and when to charge. The likeliness of your battery going bad from bad charging practices are slim maybe at best. I currently own a 2017 Model X with 160k miles & 202 Model Y with 70K miles and I have left my car sitting at 100% for days and left it sitting at below 10% for days as well. All the things people say you shouldn’t do I’ve done time and time again. My 2014 Model S85 had 380K miles original battery and original drive units and I treated that car the same. That car went through 7 door handles.

[@griffinsgarage96]

[@ymcpa73]

What you didn't mention is how much degradation your car currently has. I have a 2020 Model S with 60k miles and I charge to 65% daily. It has 1% degradation. I bet your X is over 10% and the Y is over 5%.

@ My X is sitting at 91% of original capacity, my Y is sitting at 93%, My S is sitting at 87% these numbers aren’t bad considering the amount of abuse I put them through.

So, if given a choice (time vs. charger level) one can intelligently choose ( having longevity of the battery in mind).

[@1974angels]

Nice to see a review from a fellow Canadian😊We just leased our 2024 Model Y on September 23. We live in an older home and didn’t want to pay thousands to upgrade our panel ( we had a few quotes) We decided that based on our needs, working from home as well as having another car which is gas the Level 1 charger has been perfect for us. As far as charge levels it is recommended for our particular model to be charged to 100% at least once per week. On another note, quite a few people in my neighbourhood solely drive Tesla’s and most have them parked outside year round. I have heard people saying that in cold climates the battery doesn’t perform as well. Based on my observations I’ve seen them drive in snow storms🤷‍♀️I’m not sure if you have a video on winter performance based on your personal experience but I would love to see your thoughts. Really enjoy your content btw, you speak calmly and explain things well, thank you 😊**I’d like to add a quick tip for anyone needing an extension cord for their LEVEL 1 charger. We have found an extension cord on amazon by the brand Iron Forge. It’s 10 Gauge and 10 feet! The thickness of the cord is exactly the same as the Tesla cord. It’s 65$ CDN but well worth it for peace of mind. It never heats up it’s super durable and heavy, and the reviews are outstanding. Many people mention they use it for their EV’s. Hope this helps as it took a while to find this extension cord. As an FYI the shorter the extension cord the better for safety and charging capability.

[@marclemieux8269]

There are a lot of advantages in having a 6-20 outlet for use in EV charging: 1. If your electrical panel is limited to around 100 amps, you may not be able to install a higher- powered 240-volt outlet like the NEMA 14-50, but your panel may allow for the installation of a 20-amp, 240-volt, 6-20 outlet. 2. The NEMA 6-20 outlet is surprisingly quite powerful in itself since it can provide up to 15 miles per hour of charging capability. As such, when charging off-peak overnight for a 12-hour period, you're looking at up to 180 miles of accumulated range added to your EV. Not too shabby! 3. A significantly number of 6-20 type portable EV chargers have a current-adjusting capability so as to allow you to charge your EV almost anywhere, be it at a friend's house or at a campground, or anywhere else where you have access to a typical 120-volt outlet. Just be sure to take the appropriate adapters with you. 4. NEMA 6-20 EV chargers are very light and can easily be carried in your EV when going on road trips without adding too much weight. 5. Carrying a portable, combination 120-volt/240-volt EV charger (or EVSE) can provide you with piece of mind rather than stressing over finding commercial level 2 and DC fast chargers.

I installed 3 at each of my houses. It’s not terribly hard to do. It’s $100 for the receptacle, $80 for the GFCI breaker, and then $2-3 a foot for wire.

[@dubmob151]

Doesn't the EVSE implement GFCI protection? Is the GFCI circuit breaker required regardless of the EVSE unit being used ? Possibly if it's not hard wired, and being unplugged and plugged in for daily use.

[@kungfoochicken08]

@ I put a GFCI breaker on my 3 installs. I’m having trouble with one of them, so I’ll probably switch it to a regular breaker. The EVSE has a built in GFCI protection, which protects everything from outlet to the car. A GFCI breaker would protect all your wiring and the outlet itself. For whatever reason the new code requires GFCI breakers on EV chargers, even if they’re inside your garage. It’s overkill, imo. The Tesla mobile charger sends a small bit of voltage through the ground wire to make sure it’s properly grounded when charging first starts. I think that’s what’s tripping my GFCI breaker. It’s an older home that didn’t isolate the neutrals and grounds, so that bit of voltage is probably leaking over to the ground.

Wow! Had to watch that on x2 speed. Good info you just speak really slow.

keeping battery between 30 and 80% means you are not getting the full use of your car's range. advertised to get 300+ miles if you run it from 100% to )%, yet tells you keep it in the 30 to 80% range or you can/will degrade your battery. Seems like an excellent access NOT to buy one.

[@griffinsgarage96]

Well you absolutely can, but it’s better to keep it in a tighter SoC range

[@fredsmodel3n192]

Only for driving around town, for long distance trips you can charge to 100%

[@DanFrederiksen]

downvote for wasting time and bs clickbait topic

[@griffinsgarage96]

Sounds good, thanks for watching

[@micho4324]

Dude you said Nothing of worth in this video.

[@MrTierhog774]

Charge to a 50% SOC at 240V/32Amps. If a trip is forthcoming 80%. Minimal Degradation.

[@griffinsgarage96]

Below 80% most of the time for sure. Thanks for watching, please consider subscribing

50% is optimal for long term storage. Not for daily use. For daily use, cycle the battery around 50%, staying in the 20-80% range. Charging at 95% instead of 100% already doubles the battery life. Charging at 80% multiplies by 6 the battery cycle potential while not discharging lower than 20%, 10% worse case on long legs but not on daily use. 20-30% is better like said here. And never keep a battery above 80% nor under 20% for a long period of time.

Completely unnecessary and fear mongering video. Just do what it says in the car...it's a Tesla.

[@ketolifestyle68]

first your young so your info level isnt there,,,,,,,, do some research into battery longevity... they say 5% over a 10 year run,.... so tell me youngster who thinks he is helping the world......... have you been using this car for 10 years an seen a change,,,,, your theory is only speculation...

[@griffinsgarage96]

I’ve had a Tesla for 5 years now. So yes, I’ve seen this first hand. Also I’m 28 😅

[@paulkieffer1189]

I’m a battery engineer, none of what you’re saying is correct. Please do not listen to this guy.

[@griffinsgarage96]

What exactly isn’t correct so that we can learn from a battery engineer… you’re saying there aren’t different types of charging levels?

[@azrealtornick]

What are the best charging practices?
