- Will the tesla charge on a regular wall outlet in the winter cold? For anyone like me who solely relies on charging their tesla model 3 on a standard wall outlet 110 / 120v 15amp level 1 basis, this video is for you. I wanted to test and see if the cold winter temperatures would affect the way the tesla charges in the garage and also outside when it was 22 degrees that night. You would be surprised on how well the tesla's battery accepts a charge not only in warmer seasons but also in the cold winter weather months. I used the regular nema 5-15 adapter plug from tesla to test these charging methods.

this is about as cold as it gets where i live. sometimes in the teens, but rarely below. this kinda eases my mind as i’ll probably be depending on home charging for awhile! thanks!
I live in Minneapolis. We really need to talk about what cold weather is :)
I know the feeling, I grew up in Wisconsin.
@@EMtesla1 Your accent gives that one away. ;)
I live in Canada, we really need to talk about charging in a igloo!
I live in Boomerang Nebula
I was thinking the same thing living in Chicago.
Batteries are absolutely affected by cold temperatures. The ability of a battery to absorb current and charge is diminished in cold temperatures. However, 110V charging does not provide enough current to be negatively affected by cold-weather charging. If you were to do this test with a level 2 charger, you will see a difference.
Great test though! Thank you for the video.
2:00 That's 20A socket (Nema 5-20)
Buy 35$ pigtail from Tesla and charge at 16A 120V.
Yes I use the nema 5-20 for work, and a nema 5-15 at my house
I charge my 2018 Midrange on level 1 99% of the time, and I live in the frigid Midwest, doesn’t get any colder than my State. The coldest I’ve done so far is -15C/5F, same 5mph charging rate is achieved. I just purchased this year, so winter is winding down, will be utilizing my 14-50 plug in the near future though.
Thank you for the video.
Nice video guy. I've been wondering about this myself. Just picked up my M3 Saturday from Raleigh. I'm in Greensboro, so good to see someone near by so I can get an idea about charging with our weather. I'm actually in an apartment and waiting to get my garage here so I can charge, but it's obviously only 110/120
Thank you! And congrats on the new Tesla!
@@EMtesla1 Thanks man! Loving it so far!
great test, but that's where a heated steering wheel would come in handy. Avoid using the battery to heat the cabin. That's a lot of space to waste precious battery range to heat. And a nice shot of the taillights, I have a new MY and have never really seen my tail lights all lit up.
We had a NEMA16-50 outlet installed in our garage, connected to a 50amp breaker that used to power a hot tub. It was cheaper than purchasing a wall charger from Tesla. It would’ve been nicer to charge at 48amps from a 60amp breaker. We’re limited to 32amps from Tesla’s 2nd generation mobile charger.
It makes sense. If you have any regen braking at all, you should be able to slow charge without heating the battery. I only lose all regen below ~15F
Pretty cool, I was wondering about this myself. Do you preheat the cabin in the morning before you leave? I also have no Level 2 charging capability and I'd have to not only pay to have the line run, I'd probably also need to upgrade my breaker box from 100 to 200A. And then there's also the cost of the HWC... ugh...
Most of the time i have my tesla in the garage, I don't usually preheat it. As i know the 110v outlet is not enough power to supply heat without running dow the battery. I'm cheap too, lol. I mostly only plug in at work (nema 5-20)
That's cool. Unfortunately garage parking isn't an option (old house, small garage for a smart car I guess?) so I would have to charge on the side of the house regularly. But, at least you've shown that you can get at least SOME charge out of Level 1 charging... My commute is only 10 miles each way, so that should be manageable even if it has to heat the battery for a bit, I can still look forward to a decent charge in the morning
I tried charging my Y on 120V when it was 0 Degs F and it actually lost 40 miles of charge overnight! I guess it could not warm the battery enough. Last time I try that!
really? are you sure the connection was good? No breaker trip?
Bro you’re talking to us about cold from Durham North Carolina? Lol
Sorry I do not live further north, let me know your results since you apparently live further north.
Good info what if you want to leave the car plugged in all the time to a outdoor outlet? Would you have to put the mobile charger in some sort of NEMA enclosure?
thanks and no the tesla mobile connector is weather proof.
lol 55--60 degress - now lets try plugging them in OUTSIDE when its -2 degrees lol actual cold temps Mine stops charging constantly
Cold is -25celsius about 19F below
It doesn’t get this cold in NC
please re do this in 2021 winter
with even colder temps -5c to -10c which is more common plz
Would be near in possible now that I live in Savannah, GA.. were winters are practically nothing here lol
@@EMtesla1 thanks for the video regardless!
I will do a lot of Level 1 charging so my question is will I see the snowflake in the Tesla App ? Oh yeah I’m expecting my model 3 delivery between May 29-June 18
Only when you battery is very cold soaked.
Do you have two out of phase outs that you could plug into? Because you could make your own 6-20 240 volt outlet by utilizing the hot lead from each outlet. I used to have a Bosch washing machine that had two horizontal hot leads. It worked out great and I didn’t need an electrician. You can make your own box that has two extension cords to plug into the two out of phase outlets and one 6-20 receptacle. For $35.00 you can buy the 6-20 adapter for your mobile charger.
Let me know what you think 🤔.
Unfortunately I do not have two separate breakers. Otherwise I would do this.
Evan Michiels Your washer and dryer are not in your garage, either? Now that I finished watching your video, I know that you know a lot more than I do about electrical systems. What type of work do you do, if you share that kind of stuff?
Any chance you’d consider repeating this test closer to 10 or 0?
If it gets this cold in NC I certainly will. Those low temps are rare here though.
Evan Michiels thanks! I’m up in NJ and most winters it stays in the 20’s though we do get runs down to 0. It doesn’t seem like there is a lot of testing videos on this. Thanks again, will subscribe and look forward to it 🤞🏻
Thanks Matt!
1 year later and now I’m looking for the same videos lol. I’m in chicago and wondering if I can make it through the winter without installing a different outlet at my house
at that rate it doesnt effect it ,, if you went to a super charger you would see a big difference ,, a cold batt will burn about 7kw sent to the motors to make heat to warm the batts up to take the super charger rate
Yea that super charger will show a big difference in charge rate when the battery is cold.
Okay, now try to do it when it is -30C outside.
Not sure I will live in a climate with -30C outside haha.
Hello, we have a partnership and would like to talk to you, can we?
That is not cold weather, cold weather is -20 to -45
Sorry this is as cold as it gets where I live. The best I could do!
"110V"
It's been 120V / 240V in the US and Canada since ~WW2.
Time to move on ;)
Yea I think I was getting 117v on my standard outlet.
It's still called 110. Everyone knows it's 120 volts and no one is going to stop calling it 110.
@@tkulogo "OK grandpa" :)
Paint your garage. Tesla red and grey ?
Get a level 2 HPWC installed at home. It is not a big deal to get a 220 outlet run and then get the 14-50 pigtail for your mobile charger. Stop hogging the charger at work. Charge if you need it and then move the car.
Thanks Kenz300 lol!
