Greetings all,
This is my first post so apologies for the NOOB question about Model S AC Charging options. I am just looking for confirmation of my assumptions based on various other threads. Note: I live in Europe which may make a difference to the answer.
Pre Facelift Cars
Single charger standard, it accepts 3 Phase @ 16A per Phase. Means 11kW
Dual charger optional, which simply doubles the above. Means 22kW
Facelift Cars
Only one physical charger is ever installed, it has a maximum output of 16.5kW. Means is accepts 3 Phase @ 24 Amps per Phase
Some earlier Facelift cars may have been SW limited to 11kW, but I assume its the same charger limited to 3 Phase 16 A per Phase.
Appreciate any feedback, the reason to clarify is I need to consider my home charging options before I buy a Model S, maybe new or maybe CPO. Also many of the threads on this topic talk about 2 Phase and 3 Phase chargers on Facelift cars (48A vs 72A) which I assume is a US configuration not applicable to Europe?
Meantime thanks for the awesome forum!!
Cheers
