What charging station should you choose for a Tesla?
29 January 2021
Tesla has carved out a special place in our hearts. The Tesla Model 3 is now among the top 3 best-selling electric cars in Quebec. In fact, at BEQ Technology, we often get asked the question: “Which charging station should I choose for my Tesla?” In this article, we will present the best options available to you!
What you need to know about Tesla charging stations
If you have just become the proud owner of a Tesla, you will probably be tempted to opt for a Tesla charging station, which is still a good option, but there are important elements to consider.
Currently, all residential charging stations are equipped with an SAE J1772 connector. It is a universal connector compatible with all models of electric cars offered on the North American market. The only exception is the Tesla charging station. It has its own connector (charging gun) that is ONLY compatible with Tesla brand vehicles. In contrast, every Tesla vehicle comes with an adapter to charge on generic charging stations equipped with the standard J1772 charging gun.
This means that any electric car that is not a Tesla cannot be charged from your charging station. If you have visitors at home who want to charge their car, it won’t be possible. Buying a second electric car? You will have to get another charging station. If you change your car model, you will also have to change your charging station. This makes things a little more inconvenient!
