It has been (in the past, maybe not now?) suggested that you only charge at 80% of the rated amperage of the circuit breaker that your home charger is connected to. So if your charger is connected to a 40A breaker, that would suggest your charge at 32A (set on your charging menu). I have this configuration, and get about 23-25 miles of charge per hour.
Thank all you guys for the reply, actually you all are correct, I was able to reach Tesla and the max for my charger is 40A, so I can actually charge up to the 40A or lower, also if it’s charging at a rate that is to high, I was told that the car would automatically lower it to a safe limit. Thanks again
Eh, matter of opinion. I've been using the miles setting for many years and am used to it and usually close to match it.One last recommendation - change the display from "miles" to "percentage". Miles are inaccurate anyway.
I usually set mine to charge at 34A at home, though 40A capable.
To tell the truth it is arbitrary. I just picked it. Lower than 40, the cable and charge port heat a bit less, so more efficient. I think.Why 34A? Why not 33A, or 29A?
I'm only asking because it seems arbitrary. If you can charge at 40A, why set it to anything lower?
Most breakers are not meant to operate at full amperage continuiously - hence the 80% suggestion. Check what amperage your charger is wired to and make the adjustment.
the A is for the Amps that are used for charging. It is usually less than the breaker being used. In your case you probably have 40 AMP breaker, I would guess you are charging at about 32 to 33 MPH, my 50 amp breaker gives me about 40 mph.When charging at home, what should the number with the A be? The picture attached has it at 34A. What should it be?
It’s legal (but not wise imho) to have a 40a breaker along with smaller 40a sized wires on a 50a outlet. It should be marked as 40a max.
