If you charge your Tesla at home, you may have wondered how many amps you should use. Find out here!
Tesla Model 3 amps - how much?
When charging at home, there are basically two limiting factors: the battery in the vehicle and the power line in the house.
In order to be able to charge the Tesla battery gently, you should not only not fully chargebut theoretically also with as little current as possible. For this reason, charging at the Tesla Supercharger (several hundred amps) is also rather harmful.
Because the lower the current, the longer it takes to charge and the charging loss increases at very low currents, 12-13 amps is a good compromise. This is also gentler on the power cable than charging continuously at 16 amps and risking a cable fire - especially if you are charging from a standard domestic earthed socket.
If you want to play it completely safe when it comes to charging, a charging coveris a good idea to protect the charging port of your Tesla from dirt and liquids.
