How is Charging Tesla at home with Tesla wall connector in Australia 2022

[@robtorok3935]

Excellent no fat video. It told me everything I wanted to know. Thanks!

[@EVandThings]

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Glad it helped.

Great to see real world charging in Oz 👍

[@EVandThings]

Good one🤩😬

[@leosheppard8517]

0:45 these are not brackets, it is a slightly smaller earth/ground pin for the 10amp. The 15 amp has larger pins on the socket.

[@EVandThings]

Thanks Leo, good to know😊

[@vtthesuccessfinder]

Good simple instructions on this video. I have the same car MY standard LFP coming next week. I’ve read many different things about charging to 100%. Do you charge to 100% every night or 1x a week? If you charge to 100% every night like Tesla recommends have you seen any battery degradation as some have said that I’ve read? Thanks

[@EVandThings]

Hi Vu, I have been charging my car to 100 percent at least 3 times a week and degradation I have seen in a Year is of 12 km less range The range now shows 428 inserted of 440[range when I bought] and since degradation happens most in first Year, so it is not too bad. And I think it's better to let the car charge 100% and save yourself hassle of thinking about switching the max charging percentage.

[@vtthesuccessfinder]

Thanks for the detailed reply. That’s reassuring to know. So you charge 100% 3x a week and the rest of the week you charge to 80%? Sorry for asking such detailed questions but you seem to have good results. Thanks again.

[@EVandThings]

@@vtthesuccessfinder I meant I just charge my car 3x a week totally. Plugging in every other day. And always leave max charging limit to 100%. The only variation is if I have a planned trips then I have charged my car every night to 100%.

[@vtthesuccessfinder]

Oh ok. Thanks for clarifying. I hope you continue to enjoy your Tesla and I look forward to experiencing mine.

[@73av8r5]

Thanks for this. I have the same car on order but I just got the mobile connector. We’ll see how that goes. If it’s not adequate I’ll install a nema 14-50 in my garage instead of the wall charger…..too much for installation IMO.

[@EVandThings]

I think that should be enough for day to day usage. 👍 Congrats again for getting a Tesla 🤩😁

[@henvan8737]

You can also purchase a 32 amp tail single phase option for the mobile charger.

[@EVandThings]

Okay That's good to know, I thought that's maxed out at 15 apms

[@arnkbb4656]

Informative! thanks!

[@EVandThings]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cfish9646]

Thanks for the video. How much did you land up paying for your electrical installation and did you just use a local electrician or a specialist company? Cheers

[@EVandThings]

We had a professional electrician do it and costed us a bit over 500$ But it depends on the type of connection and distance from your main power supply box and many other considerations. I have had our charger for almost 2 years now and it works great.

Thanks bro - nice.

Thanks, Dave 😃

[@CurieBohr]

Do not use an extension cable to charge. Constant power draw will hear that thing up and cause fire. Unless you bought one designed to do so, and they are like $80 and up.

[@EVandThings]

Thanks for that. I use the wall connector to charge the car. That cable was just used for the video demonstration. But that's good to know that there are extensions supporting that much power.

[@MrGazman2010]

With the prices I’ve been quoted to install 3 phase connection. I don’t think the gen3 permanent charger is good value. Money saved can be used to supercharge

[@EVandThings]

Installation cost is a big consideration, definitely. But depending on if you plan to live in the same place for long and are playing to have an electric car supporting the charger, the convenience might outweigh the initial price.

[@The_goat59]

Hey This is very informative can you please advise the charge Rate when you have 3 phase meter box ? do you the exact amps the car can charge ? This is for MY 2023 please

[@EVandThings]

Hi Sash, Max charge rate is 11kwh on 3 phase going upto 75km/hr

[@The_goat59]

@@EVandThings Got it Thank you !

[@philf29]

Can you recommend electrician installing your Tesla wall charger

[@EVandThings]

Hi Phil, I have got mine installed from a registered Electrician, not an EV specialist. and since I was only getting 1 phase it was easy and cheaper install. So I would recommend get a quote from any electrician that you know as Tesla recommended electrician are charging quite a lot for the same Job

[@simranpreetsinghbaidwan1604]

Can i get an idea how much the installation costed you ?

[@musicsensei1793]

Hi Amit, what are your thoughts and plans around the car batteries once they reached their useful life. Can the battery be replaced by only Tesla or after market battery replacement? I understand currently, other manufacturers charges around $5.5K to replace their Hybrid batteries and we get about $500 rebate.

[@EVandThings]

Hi I believe the battery replacement here in Australia can cost around $14k. And personally I do not plan to keep the car beyond the battery warranty period of 7 years. I do not believe there are aftermarket batterie replacements offered in Australia so Tesla is the only choice. And there is certainly no rebate on battery replacement.

[@sushilgirikumar]

Hi mate, Nice video. How much electricity bill rise you see per month from Tesla charging. Thanks

[@EVandThings]

Hi Sushil, The electricity bill difference for driving monthly for us is around 40 to 50 💸 Dining around 1200 to 1500kms per month

[@sushilgirikumar]

@@EVandThings thanks for reply. I live in Melbourne so won’t be able to generate enough energy from my 4kw solar. Specially during winter. Planning to move to Brisbane anyways. Hopefully the sunny state will help save some energy bills.

[@garfieldisgod]

Tesla needs to "adopt the "induction charging" method of charging vehicles ASAP. This technology ihas been around for decades and is a perfect fit for "convenient charging of EV's. Charging vehicles without having to connect anything; get out of the vehicle in snow and rain; would appeal to many Tesla customers. just imagine; pulling over a lighted pad; it dings when you are in position; you just hop out and the charger later texts you when the vehicle is ready. What is not to like???

[@EVandThings]

Sounds like an exciting and effortless future Cat🤔😊

[@krishnakharb5618]

Nice

[@EVandThings]

Thanks

[@jshrssll]

Hey mate, do you have 3 phase power in your house or single phase? I have single phase and trying to determine if the Tesla wall charger will have the same rate of charge as yours in the video

[@EVandThings]

Hi Joshua, I have a single phase connection, although I have set max on my charger to be 30 apms. The max allowed is 32, so you might be able to get up to 50km/hour charge rate

[@clarkzy]

I was thinking of putting a 32A socket in and just using the mobile connector instead of the wall connector seens as I need to buy the mobile connector now anyway? 32A socket should put out similar if not the same charging speeds right?

[@EVandThings]

As far as I can recall mobile connector will support 15A current. But you still are better off using that setup on a 32 APM socket as that can save to quite a lot of money compared to getting a wall connector installed.

[@wen87n]

How much does it cost you to get the wall connector installed?

[@EVandThings]

We had a professional electrician do it and costed us a bit over 500$ But it depends on the type of connection and distance from your main power supply box and many other considerations. I have had our charger for almost 2 years now and it works great.

[@pmacgowan]

The Tesla granny can actually do 7kw with a 3phase tail, I have one

[@EVandThings]

Good to know Paul, They are not that common in Australia I believe.

[@photofusionart]

When you charge st home an indicator on your phone shows like 6kw . +19kwh 32A can u explain these settings. Thanks.

[@EVandThings]

Hey Sami, 6kw/hr was the rate at which the car was charging. +19kwh is the total charge done in the charging session. And max ampere allowed for my single phase is 32A(you can choose to change this to 10A to charge your car slower, apparently that's better for the longevity of cells. ) Hope that helps.

[@photofusionart]

@@EVandThings thank you. It did.

[@handsome567]

Is that a disconnector switch near your charger?

[@EVandThings]

Yes, that's the kill switch for the Tesla the charger.

[@chrisw5083]

The wifi connection is the most painful part. It can’t even read my iPhone hotspot!

Hey Chris, Once setup you do not need it I guess, unless you want to change a setting.

[@adan7182]

You only had your wall charger set to 30 amps?

Thanks Adam, Yes max for single phase is 32 and I have set to 30 apms

@@EVandThings thanks mate. Will try that way

[@national22]

Don get your charger installed permanently rather use 32amp plug and socket so it can be used on road trips as 3 phase mobile charger 😎😎🤔

[@EVandThings]

Not a bad idea. May Not as elegant looking though😄.

[@cantihome]

It is horrible to have a Tesla. I just had the experience. being all the time thinking about to charge it, and not finding stations, plus a lot of lost time

[@EVandThings]

You are right. Teslas are not meant for everybody. And especially if you are always travelling more than 300kms a day. Otherwise, charging it is not an issue at all. It's all about getting accustomed to Ev ownership
