Thank you!If you plan on charging your car regularly, flipping your breaker on and off would just be an additional task, and common sense tells me it would wear the breaker switch out quite easily (but I can't say if that's true. But, think about how many times you actually turn a breaker on and off! Rare for me unless something trips). I personally keep my breaker on all the time, and keep my mobile connector plugged into the NEMA outlet at all times, even when my car is not charging.
Make sense. Thank you.Leave it on. It gets firmware updated over the WiFi. Also, breakers aren't really designed to be turn on/off frequently.
Good to know. Thanks for that info!A circuit breaker is not intended to be used as a power switch, it’s a safety device.
If you’re concerned about power being at the end of the cable when it’s not plugged into the vehicle, you shouldn’t be. If there was power to the end of the cable when it’s not plugged into the vehicle, that would be extremely unsafe and I don’t think Tesla would be allowed to sell it if it functioned that way.
Lsten to your wall charger, you’ll hear a click come from it shortly after plugging in. Im no Tesla wall charger expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I was an electronics tech for the Navy for several years and I bet that click is a relay in the charger that is actually applying power to charge the vehicle - that is effectively the “power switch” and Tesla is engaging it for you.
Once you've confirmed that it's working properly, then it's okay to turn it off until you need it. It does use a small amount of energy staying on even when not charging an EV. I wish there is an easy way to turnoff household stuffs completely like the British electrical outlet.I just wanted to bring this post back up to ask a question about it. I just had my wall charger installed today but I do not receive my Tesla for another 2-3 weeks, I have already updated the firmware today so should i just hit the breaker off until I actually receive my car?
