In the video you said your set up had a 60amp circuit which would get you the maximum but then later when you plugged it in you said it was 48amps. Where did the additional 12amps go? Why could you not take advantage of the full 60 in your set up?
@iowatesla10 ай бұрын
The short answer is that you aren’t allowed to pull the full amount for safety reasons. You typically size the to use 80% of the load and that’s 48 Amps.

Many people watch car charge videos for tips and how to's. As an electrical guy, do plenty of research. Do I need a permit? Can the wires from the utility to my house carry that much power? You are essentially adding a second stove/cook top to run for about 10 hours a day. Your house should have been built to carry the electrical loads when built and the wires sized only for what was there at that time. You might need a second power connection to your utility (A second service) or a service up-grade just to charge at some rates. The NEC (national electric code), electric building code, may or may not apply to you. It has its own section for car hanging (electric vehicle service equipment) 625 that has many rules for just this hook-up. A big one is the maximum charger rating for circuit sizing. Yes, a 40 Amp charger cannot be reduced down in the charger to fit on a 30 Amp breaker. The NEC directs you to the 60 degree Celsius rating for wire sizes in almost all cases. Pick you wire size accordingly. Be careful out there. Consider hiring a pro as a consultant at least to get things correct the first time. Re-inspections by building 8nspectors can be expensive and so can the re-work.

That question doesn't make sense. How much does it cost you in water to fill a bathtub quickly as opposed to filling it slowly? THE SAME. Now with some utilities and plans, the PRICE you pay for electricity varies by time of day. So if your time window to charge cheaply is short, then charging at a high rate may allow you to finish all or most of your charging within the low-price window. (also, some chargers can have more losses at different rates, but the difference is small) Just as a general answer, my utility charges 13 cents per kWh, and when you factor efficiency losses I'm probably paying about 15 cents. Since my car gets about 3 miles per kWh, and I drive 1000 miles per month, I need 333 kWh per month. So 333 x 0.15 = 50 dollars.

As a Tesla owner for the last 3 years I had the same concern buying my Tesla. But it took around 6 months to realise it’s actually really easy to find a charge. Even longer commutes only need to charge from 60%-90% overnight. And the average person is at home not using their car for around 14 hours per night. I was surprised how many places there are to charge. For example I’ve been on fairly long trips where I’ve stayed at air BnB’s but they always seems to have an outdoor outlet I can sneak a charge from overnight for free. On one occasion I ran a extension cable out under the front door to charge the car. Keep in mind, you can charge in the rain and snow without issue.

Total overall cost was $200. As for cost, I pay $0.13 per kWh. In 8000 miles over 7 months, I consumed 2500 kWh of energy. That works out to about $325 in total cost - or about $45 per month for me.

One advantage of slower charging is it is easier on the battery, meaning it should make the battery last longer. Thank you for showing the other options. The NEMA 6-20 outlet is a good compromise for may people. It provides abotu 14 miles per hour, or in an 8 hour charging period, that's 112 miles. That more than covers the average person's daily driving. The advantage of that connector is that is uses common, reasonably priced 10 or 12 gauge wiring, which is easier and much less expensive to install than is the 6 gauge wiring needed for the 50 or 60 amp circuits.

For suburban driving around 1 hour of driving equates to around 45 miles. For a Model 3 standard range, that’s around 9.5kWh. At 110V, and 15amps, that’s 1.6kW, which would take 6 hours to charge 9.5kWh. So you should be good. Over 8 hours you’d charge the equivalent of 12.5 kWh, which is around 60 miles of driving.

Liz, every house is different, but yes, more commonly an electric clothes dryer is only on a 30A circuit, so it's a NEMA 14-30R. An electric range, which includes oven and cooktop, is typically on a 40 or 50A circuit, either of which would have a NEMA 14-50R. However, kitchens are typically further from the car than laundry. I think most EV owners could charge with a 30A circuit and have plenty of charging time left over, no problem.

@ewicky2 жыл бұрын
@@Tun-Tun There are quite a few options. I'll start with the best: Hire an electrician to put in a dedicated charger. If you own the townhome, or if you can work with the owner, you may be able to have a dedicated charger or dedicated receptacle installed. Ideal locations would be in the garage (if you have one) or outdoors near the driveway. Ideal would be a Tesla charger, that way you can leave your mobile connector coiled up in the trunk. If you have neither a driveway nor a garage, some people are able to charge with street parking. You would need a receptacle installed on the side of the house, then an extension cord on the 240V side of the Tesla mobile connector. A 30A circuit, such as the NEMA 14-30R or NEMA 6-10R should be fine. If you will be using an extension cord, consider locking connectors instead. Not the best: You could run a 240V 30A extension cord out the window or through the house, down to your car. The cord would be thick and expensive, like a garden hose. While this solution may work "in a pinch," it is not ideal for daily use. If you are low-milage and only would need to charge 1 or 2 days per week, it might be okay. Also not the best: 120V charging using a ground-level outdoor receptacle. This is only practical if you charge every night and don't drive too much during the day. Other things to consider: Quick220, which can, in some cases, create 220V (aka 240V) from two circuits joined together. This can just-over double the charging speed. "Dryer Buddy Plus Auto": Allows you to semi-permanently wire your charger and your dryer to the same receptacle. The device stops the charging whenever the dryer is actually in use. Alternatives to at-home charging: If you commute to work daily, consider finding a charging station within walking distance of the office, or ask the office manager if they would consider installing a charger. Tesla Supercharging is also an option, but takes longer than filling gas in a gas car. Also, it isn't as low-cost as standard utility rates. Some of the savings of going away from an ICE car would be lost. Public charging probably shouldn't even be considered an option unless you live or work very near a good option. Some are free, while others are more expensive per mile than gas.

I have the standard 110v mobile charger that I’m using at home. Once it hits my desired 90% charge is it ok to leave it plugged in ?

30 miles on a 40 amp 230 volt gets 30 miles an hour thats not bad. Full charge in 10 hours.

Yes. For most people, this would work fine.

Dumb question, but would the electric costs be the same throughout? I.E. Slow charge/less Amps for longer time vs fast charge/more Amps for less time?
@iowatesla Жыл бұрын
There are minor differences in energy losses but the short answer is that the costs would be the same. Charging faster could be cheaper if you can take advantage of off peak pricing.

Thank you. So if that car is a model 3 why does it look like a hatchback ??

So weird how many different plugs you guys got. We pretty much just have 2 different ones in my country

The best option is to install a 10 kw diesel direct current generator at your home. You use off road diesel which is lower tax than road diesel and you can charge at the max in 5 hours or less depending on starting requirements.
