Just getting delivery of Model 3 .

Live in 7 unit condo complex. Having problem installing charging station in the common garage . Association can not figure out how to charge me for increased electricity expanses in the common area.
I can charge at a supercharger and chargepoint close to my home. We go away in winters for 2-3 months. Live in Boston suburb. Any idea how long fully charged car can be left in heated garage without plugging in.

You can’t plug it in to a 110 outlet? Pretty sure your battery will be dead by the time you get back from just vampire drain.

 

[dharam]

Can I leave it plugged into 120V single phase for 3 months ?

 

[dharam]

I mean 110 V

 

[BestHand]

Yes, you can leave it plugged.

 

[Rocky_H]

I mean 110 V

No you don't.

I mean 110 V

FYI the standard is 120V in North America since the 1940s. Other countries may be different though.

 

[dharam]

Yes 120V outlet.
Here is my problem. This is new complex and no one has EV so far.
My HOA is giving me hard time getting a Tesla charger installed in the garage.
Although two outlets 240V, 50 A have been provided in the garage only for EVs but metered to common area.
I move out for 3 months in winters

Their objections
How to evaluate electric consupmtion for my car
Any more insurance required
Any maintenance issues with chargers. ( any experience )

So I thought I would leave the car in the garage plugged to a wall outlet in my home. ( via 15 ft heavy duty extension cord )
I can use supercharger or charge point very close to my home for rest of the year.
Would welcome any thoughts, ideas, suggestions

Install a utility meter on the circuit or put in a ChargePoint that has a dashboard

 

[dharam]

Where can I get a utility meter and how to install one
I am willing to get charge point system but they are not responding may because requirement is for
a single charger unit in the complex so far.

If you can install a L2 EVSE, Chargepoint Home and Juicebox wifi EVSE will record how many kwh from the wall to the car.
