7 BEST CHARGING PRACTICES for your TESLA's Battery Life

A lot of people are still new to owning a fully electric vehicle and many just aren’t familiar with them. With that comes the charging habits for your Tesla. Tesla’s batteries are designed and built much different than the batteries used in most consumer electronics. The engineering and R&D that goes into Tesla batteries is second to none. In this video, I outline the top 7 things you can do to minimize battery degradation for your EV and what the best charging practices are.

Just ordered a Tesla model Y… your videos helped a lot!

[trinawestcoast]

I ordered my Model 3 last month. I cannot wait to get it. I am not able to charge everyday though. The Apartment Complex I live does have a Tesla Super Change Station though. The Mall down the street has free charging machines that are a lower voltage so it takes a long time to charge. I used to charge my BMW there, and would see many Tesla owners.

What amp should I set my NEMA 14-50 mobile connector?

[samabdallah]

Thank you Matt Danadel, this is great information, especially someone is looking to buy one or a starter.

[jrhepburn]

Just ordered my new model Y Thx for the GREAT info once I get my VIN # I will be sure to re-view your videos again

[ernestogomezjr]

Getting myself one as a Christmas gift, I’m so ready!!

[theaficionado]

Loving the quality and effort you put in these. Just subscribed!

Thank you for the clear and precise description of the importance of how best to use your batteries. I don’t have a Tesla yet but you made this so easy to understand. Very well done.

Wiring and charge rate (amps) - check with your local building code. Generally: 1) an EV system should be on a dedicated circuit (have its own breaker) and not shared with a dryer, 2) wiring and breakers are rated for a certain maximum amperage and voltage, and an "80% rule" applies to continuous loads for safety. That means a 50 amp circuit breaker can safely sustain a continuous load of 40 amps, a 15-amp circuit can sustain 12 amps. Always check with your local building code.

7:36 does the AMP matter if i charge at a level 1 charger 6.6kw AC?

[knell]

Can we get an updated version of this?

[jamzvera]

Do you still plug it in if it’s already at 80%

[JeffMathias]

This is next level content, congrats.

So if you buy a used rental Tesla your should inquire about how frequently super charging was used and maybe avoid buying prior rentals which would likely be super charged constantly.

[rafmanansala]

I commute my model 3 rwd with lfp 60mi round trip i charge daily to 90% is it okay to charge daily?

[darrickwilliams]

If I charge overnight at home everyday during off peak hours where should I set my amp at ?

[jsundaramedia]

Thanks for the tips Matt but I have an unusual situation that I can’t find the answer to. I recently bought a used 2021 model 3 long range and live in an apartment with no home charger. I supercharge the car about every 3 - 4 days when it drops down to 30%. Would it be okay to charge up to 90% or 100% this often?

[sherrylewis]

I live in a condo. Daily 'at home' charing is not available. Internet is also not available. Personally, I don't like (feel left out?) the most common advice everywhere is 'charge at home'. I think more and more multi-family unit owners are/will become Tesla owners. I'm grateful the charging grid is expanding!

[royrice]

On a cross country vacation count on 300 miles or 5 hours per day then time for a overnight charge and hotel stay. Example: Dallas to Los Angeles would take 5 overnight hotels with battery charges. If you have the time, patience and money go for it!
