This is one of those scenarios where it sounds great on paper but when you actually do it, it’s a different story. I only have 110 V charging because I live in an apartment. My commute to work is 15 miles each way with mostly highway driving. I work six days a week so that doesn’t help my scenario. It takes about 10 hours of charging per day to break even so I don’t go down in battery level. If I don’t go anywhere else besides work and home with the car and maybe stop at the grocery store on the way, I’m good. If I decide to make the trip to visit family on Sunday that live 30 miles away so 60 mile round-trip, I supercharge to keep my battery charged up.
If you don’t drive much and your commute to work is very short then 110 V charging will work. The only way I make it work in my case is I have a second gasoline powered vehicle I can use while my Tesla is charging.
I don’t agree that it would work for the average driver that needs to use their car throughout the day to go places after work. Eventually, when stores have plugs to charge while you shop and workplaces have charging for employees then 110 V charging will be more than enough.
Keep making great videos and content about Tesla because we need more awareness of electric cars!
Wish I had seen this before purchasing a wall connector. Great presentation that deserves many more views.
Math is the one thing that never tells a lie
Im in japan, been charging with 100v for two years...my commute is 6 milies/10km one way...were good
Also, there's no ground in Japan...so had to cheat
I have been using a standard 110v outlet to charge as well. It has worked out well.
Tesla is the best
I charged my Chevy Volt for 8 years this way and never had a problem! Now that I have a Tesla Model Y I do the same. My Tesla came with an adapter so I used the same charger that I used with my Volt. No need to call an electrician and spend a lot of money.
agreed it works if you dont need to commute more than 40 miles everyday or even if you do if you have days you dont commute its good enough
If the cost of charging matters, "Time of Use" electricity rates may also be a factor on when to charge your EV at home. In my area, SoCal, the SDGE rates are the highest EVERYDAY between 4 PM - 9PM ("On Peak"). The cheapest rates ("Super Off Peak") are between Midnight - 6 AM on weekdays and Midnight - 2 PM on weekends.
Time to charge is more important to me. I have kids and a job and errands, so it’s not just the 40mi round trip to work that I have to charge for.i never have range anxiety, charging duration “anxiety”.
If I still worked in the office (6am - 2:30pm) my M-F commute would be 21min/15miles using 7-10%. That would be regained by using the 110V wall outlet in the parking garage for 8.5 hours. Once home, plug in until I need to leave again. I have two mobile connectors, one from Tesla to stay in the car and a used one from Mercari that stays plugged in at home. Having 2 would keep me from forgetting to take it with me and also having to unplug/plug the whole thing from the wall 4 times a day.
I'm getting my Y next Saturday. What is the average supercharge cost to charge to 80%? If I charge mine in a regular 120v plug at home, what is the kilowatt energy equivalent? Is it the same as running a clothes dryer or dishwasher for 12 hours…more or less?
At home can be like a half to third the cost of supercharger. Just depends on what your kilowatt rate is from your electrical company compared to the kilowatt cost at the supercharger.
FYI, there is no 110v or 220v in the United States anymore and hasn't been for decades. We only have 120v and 240v...
Thanks for the heads up 👍
