Tesla Vehicle Charging Stations
We are in the midst of an electrically powered vehicle revolution! Purely electric powered vehicles have so many performance, maintenance and environmental advantages over conventional gas powered vehicles, they are destined to dominate the streets of the future. These type vehicles have come a long way over the last decades, with the concerns about limited range, long charging times, poor performance becoming a thing of the past.

Tesla EV History & Progression
By far, Tesla Motors has been a leader in paving the way to an all-electric vehicle powered future. Tesla Motors began producing its first all-electric vehicle, the Roadster in 2008. It was the first truly all-electric sports car ever made. The research and development of that car paved the way to today's highly reliable and practical Tesla Model-s, Model-x, and their soon to be massively produced Model-3. This technology developed by Tesla was shared with and is being used by automakers all around the world!
Tesla EV's Home Charging Options
As with all EV's, there are several Home Charging options for Tesla EV's. the main difference in these systems is the rate at which they will charge the car. The slowest rate of charge option is from a basic 110-volt outlet providing about six driving miles per hour of charging. The highest rate of charge option is with a Tesla wall connector providing about thirty-four driving miles per hour of charging. the most common types of charging systems are listed below.
- 240-volt / 30-amp – system requires a NEMA 14-30 receptacle fed with a 240-volt / 30-amp circuit. This provides about 16-driving miles per hour of charging
- 240-volt / 50-amp – system requires a NEMA 14-50 receptacle fed with a 240-volt / 50-amp circuit. This provides about 28-driving miles per hour of charging
- 240-volt / 60-amp – system requires the use of a Tesla Wall Connector fed with a 240-volt / 60-amp circuit. This provides about 34-driving miles per hour of charging. The wall connector also has other advantages such as charging more than one car, outdoor installation and a communication link with the car to provide optimal charging performance.
