Do you use extension for it? Because wire is sometime not long enough .clothes dryer outlet via an adapter
I didn't know you could reduce the charging amps from the app. How do you do that?Does anybody reduce their charging amps using app? Why you need it?
I got it on my app when I got new software update 2021.36.5How do you do that?
Would it be safe to say that leaving the wall charger energized 24/7 wastes more power than pennies on a lower charge rate?When charging at lower power (lower voltage and or amperage) charging is less efficient. Charging involves overhead losses; heat losses in the wiring, battery and charging components. The faster you can complete charging the lower the cumulative overhead charging losses. For an individual charging session the difference in cost amounts to pennies but it adds up over time. Also, your time is worth something so unless you are charging while you are doing other things there is an opportunity cost associated with the down time while charging.
The power used by the Wall Connector when not charging is just a few watts as with other electronics. The built-in WiFi circuitry uses some power. There is no practical way to turn off the Wall Connector. The circuit breaker is not designed for that type of usage and would not last long if you continually flip the breaker on and off. You could, at some expense, have an electrician install a service disconnect switch close to the Wall Connector. (In some areas the local electrical code requires a service disconnect switch for any hard wired circuit/equipment rated for more than XX amps.)Would it be safe to say that leaving the wall charger energized 24/7 wastes more power than pennies on a lower charge rate?
I always charge at home, twice a week at 30 amps max. Battery very happy.
When on the road, of course use the Supercharger to travel. But when arriving at the destination, we also put on the trickle charger... seems to keep the batter more happy as well.
Any thoughts?
To prevent idle fees.Does anybody adjust their charging amps using app? Why you need it?
Yes idle fee and not getting a ticket at workTo prevent idle fees.
When using an outlet that (for whatever reason) can't provide the full amperage.
I don't have solar. So maybe people get another ideas why it needs to adjust
Maybe it is time to upgrade your electrical service and install a new panel. My home (built in 1963) had a 150 amp fuse panel. I was down with replacing fuses as needed. Then the neutral connection snapped off at the back plane of the panel, held only by the wires pressing against the neutral wire. This happened while I was away. There had been a storm and the power was interrupted for time. When I arrived home I found that half the house had low (really low) voltage, i.e. ~80V when measured at the receptacle and half of the outlets measured higher than 130V It took weeks to troubleshoot and in the meantime I lost a surge protector. Lesson learned; old service panels (my panel was 50 years old) should be replaced. I replaced the service panel shortly afterwards with 200 amp service and a new breaker panel. This happened about 4 years before I purchased my first plug-in vehicle.i limit my charging at home to 15A as that is plenty to charge up over night, and it puts less strain on house's wires and fuses
