Charging at a Villa in Italy

[RJDAVID]

Hi. I am planning a road trip to Puglia in Southern Italy next year in my 2017 MS 75. The trip there is covered by Superchargers so that is not a problem but does anyone have experience they can share about charging using domestic mains? I will be staying in a villa which will not have a specific EV charger. Is it feasible to charge from the mains there and if so, do I need to take any additional cables or adaptors other than supplied as standard with the car? I have a dry box in case it rains. I can charge in towns I visit but it would be much easier to charge overnight if that is possible. I wouldn't need a full charge, just a top up of about 50 miles per day, perhaps 100 miles at most on one or two occasions. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You may need an extension cord.

Alternately, look for nearby hotels that have Tesla high-powered wall chargers / destination chargers. The upper-end hotels are likely spots. Some hotels will let you come charge for free; others, if you dine there; others, if you stay overnight.

I just noticed that you're going UK to Italy; so you should talk to Tesla about whether you need to get a different connector for your charging cable to connect into the house electric supply. You should be OK for the Tesla destination chargers / high powered wall chargers and Superchargers.

I read your post just today, and I wonder how did it go. I live in Italy and our sockets few times are of SHUKO (German) type, most of the time are "Italian type".

For other viewers, south Italy is waaaayy behind in terms of tehnology of any kind, so do not expect too many chargers around
