Hello, I'm trying to be clear on what charging adapters I need, before I buy superfluous items that could be purchased in an efficient one bulk purchase.
I'm confused as there are many different specifications and is inconsistent across sources.
My travelling is in a Tesla Model S 2016 in Australia, so I usually use the Tesla Superchargers and home/shop destination chargers.
Plugs I think I might need, from driving around and physically photographing are:
Single charge inbuilt in car. 11kW standard, 16kW needs upgrade if car compatible.
Cost: $95 Tesla online.
Example: Carindale Shopping Centre chargers.
Level: 2.
Pins: 5.
Speed: 19.2 kW.
Type 2:
Type 3:
7.5 - 15 km/h.
18-40 km/h.
45-120 km/h.
420 km/h.

I'm confused as there are many different specifications and is inconsistent across sources.
My travelling is in a Tesla Model S 2016 in Australia, so I usually use the Tesla Superchargers and home/shop destination chargers.
Plugs I think I might need, from driving around and physically photographing are:
- 3 phase charger plugs (in the middle of nowhere some power points have 3 phase, but a non home power point plug).
- shopping centre non Tesla charger plugs (Carindale Shopping Centre for BMWs I have noticed).
- Queensland Electric Super Highway chargers (one of the world's longest electric super highways).
- type 2 to type 2 (or something like that?).
Single charge inbuilt in car. 11kW standard, 16kW needs upgrade if car compatible.
