Gen 2 wall charger recording watts supplied

[Duporth]

Hi,

I currently have a Gen 2 wall charger and am considering leasing a Tesla 3 single motor standard range car. To be able to claim back the costs of charging I have to be able to show how much charge has been delivered, does the Gen 2 wall connector do this?

To be able to claim back the costs of charging

You can easily just use the ATO home charging rate of 4.2 cents per km method. So easy no need to keep receipts etc etc,

If you use this you can't also claim for other charging away from home because the cents per km method captures all km driven.Just use odometer at EOFY

Thank you, that works for the ATO but the lease company says they want the actual costs.

Some of the third party apps will track individual charging sessions and can calculate costs based on the site - home, whatever public charging location. you can also put the time of use cost schedule in for home. I have TezLab for this and it does it quite well. Many other functions. It is a paid app. $6/month, $60/year, but I bought the founders lifetime for a then $150USD. It is now $169USD. So about a 4.5 year payback over a 1 year subscription or 3.5 year payback over a monthly subscription

Thank you, do they get the data from the car or the charger?

From the car or cars in your Tesla account.

Thank you.

Would be just easier for lease company to just log the EOFY odometer.

Not sure what the Gen 2 can do, but a Gen 3 added to the Tesla app will give you something like the the following. (Some of the times are lengthy as I often have it at half speed to match the solar array)

The "Charging Stats" option in the Tesla app will tell you how much charging in kWh you've done at the location you marked as "Home".

will give you something like

The problem there is you will need to account for the cost per kWh for each charge. Too much work. Just let the leasing company know that ATso uses cents per km method.
