Tesla recently unveiled a new and exciting accessory – a big, tough home charger. This device is an upgrade from the standard charging stations that were previously available from Tesla, and it looks like the electric car giant is upping its game when it comes to keeping its customers charged up.
The charger is available in two sizes, a 200A and the beefier 400A model. However, there is more to this upgrade than power ratings. The new super-charger is about twice as long and twice as wide as the standard model, giving it a much more imposing look. It is constructed with a heavy-duty frame, designed to withstand the wear and tear of extreme temperatures and weather. A protective fan shields the interior components, while a digital display shows the charging levels and adjusts the charging rate accordingly.
With this charger, Tesla promises to address some of the issues that were reported with previous chargers. The reinforced frame and digital display are said to increase safety, while the adjustable charging rate makes it easy to determine the ideal level of charge for particular circumstances. Performance has been improved as well, with the 200A model able to achieve up to 70 miles of range for every hour of charging time.
Given the size and weight of this powerful charger, it is designed to stay put in the home. And, with a starting price of $1,200 per unit, it’s no surprise that Tesla is putting a strong emphasis on safety and reliability.
Although this upgrade may come off as a bit of a hassle to install and maintain, the improved flexibility and convenience that comes with it makes it seem like a sound investment. For those looking to stay charged up and on the road, the new home charger from Tesla may be just what they are looking for.
