What are my options for a Tesla home charger?
So, the big question; is the zappi compatible with the Tesla? Yes it is. But to give you all the information you need to make your decision, let’s look at the facts.
When it comes to choosing a Tesla home charger, there are numerous options available to you. However, depending on your requirements and usage, some are better than others.
Can I use a normal outlet to charge my Tesla at home?
Yes, you can charge your Tesla using a normal power outlet at your home. But should you?
One issue with this is unless you have a garage, it will mean trailing wires from your indoor power source through windows or doors.
Another thing which you might not have considered is that the standard charging outlet provided with all Tesla’s has no connectivity, There’s no smartphone app, no charge range control, and isn’t solar aware. This means that you won’t be getting the best rate of charge for your EV.
Plus, the time it will take to charge your Tesla at home would be much longer than if you had a dedicated Tesla home charger.
Simply plugging your Tesla, regardless of the model, into your outlet could take upwards of 24 hours to reach full charge.
This is due to the lower voltage of power through your home outlets, and you can’t control how fast or slow the charge takes.
Can zappi be my new Tesla home charger?
The zappi has been designed to make home charging more efficient and cost-saving, with three charging modes available; eco, eco+ and fast.
This mode is a mixture of both green energy and energy imported from the grid. This is perfect for charging your Tesla with solar panels. But if you don’t have them, it will use energy from the grid when it’s at the cheapest rate, such as overnight.
Charge power is continuously adjusted in response to changes in generation or power consumption elsewhere in the home. Your EV charger will pause if there is too much-imported power, continuing only when there is surplus free power available.
In this mode, the vehicle will be charged at maximum power. This power can come from a renewable energy source or simply from the grid. In this mode your Tesla can be fully charged in no time at all!
