Tesla charging: Supercharger, destination charging and co. explained!

Anyone who has heard of Tesla knows that "refueling" works differently with electric cars than with conventional combustion engines. But how exactly? In this article, we describe the different types of Tesla charging and their characteristics.

A Tesla Supercharger is a powerful fast-charging system developed by Tesla specifically for their electric vehicles, such as the Model Y. Superchargers allow you to charge your vehicle quickly using direct current and cover long distances in minimal time.

Payment at public charging stations is usually very simple. Many charging stations accept payments via mobile apps or directly by credit or debit card. This allows you to conveniently start the charging process and consequently also pay.

In addition to the automatic consideration of charging stops at Tesla's own Superchargers during your journey, you will find all available Supercharger locations in your vicinity on the interactive map in every Tesla vehicle and can select them manually. They are shown on the map view via the touchscreen display and can be easily navigated to. If you drive to a specific destination, the navigation also calculates for you when you need to stop at a Supercharger on your route to charge your vehicle.

In addition to the Supercharger network, Tesla also offers so-called Destination Chargers. But how does this special charging point work and what advantages does it offer?

If you want to charge a Tesla at home, you have two options: You can either use your own wallbox installation using high-voltage current or use a conventional household socket thanks to the Universal Mobile Connector supplied.

If you want to use your own wallbox, this is usually installed by an authorized installer. The wallbox is usually installed in your garage or on your driveway and connected to the domestic electrical installation.

As an alternative to installing the Tesla Wall Connector, you can also charge your Tesla using a conventional household socket. To do this, use the Universal Mobile Connector supplied with your Tesla.

Please note that charging via a conventional household socket can be slower and less efficient than charging with a Tesla charging station. It is recommended to have the electrical installation in your home or garage checked by a specialist company to ensure that the cables and fuses are sufficiently rated for the higher currents during the charging process over a longer period of time.

As electric vehicles of various brands are becoming increasingly popular, the availability of public charging stations is also steadily increasing. Tesla drivers can also benefit from the growing network of public charging stations.

These charging stations are usually equipped with various charging plugs such as Type 2 or CCS to charge a wider range of electric vehicles. Tesla vehicles can also charge there. The prerequisite for this is that the Type 2 charging cable supplied by Tesla can be used, otherwise the charging connection will not work.

The availability and growth of this charging infrastructure is helping to make electric vehicles like Tesla an increasingly attractive option.
