How to charge Tesla Model X in Ukraine: Features and tips

The Tesla Model X is a full-size electric crossover known for its unique Falcon Wing doors and long range. For owners of this car in Ukraine, it is important to know how to properly charge the Tesla Model X to ensure efficient battery use, maximum driving range, and a long service life. In this article, we will look at the main aspects of charging Tesla Model X in Ukraine, the types of charging stations available, tips for home charging, and ways to optimise charging time.

Key questions

Where can I charge my Tesla Model X electric car?

• Public charging stations.
• Private charging stations.
• A household or power socket in the garage.
• From any socket, sometimes people run a separate cable from their apartment to the place where their car is parked near the house. Sometimes even through an ordinary household extension cord from the window of an apartment building.

How do I charge my Tesla Model X from an outlet?

To charge from a regular household or power outlet, you need to purchase a mobile charger.

We, the company ECOFACTORis the largest manufacturer of chargers in Ukraine. You can familiarise yourself with a range of mobile charging stations at this link. Various Cables and adapters are available hereincluding adapters from single-phase to three-phase power sockets.

How convenient is it in practice?

It is ideal, of course, to be able to connect your electric car to a charger overnight. In this case, you will not waste time visiting public charging stations, and the price per kilometre will be minimal. You don't need a lot of power here; a regular 16A socket, from which you will take, for example, 13A and receive about 3kW of power, is more than enough, as you can restore the electricity consumed during the day overnight.

If you drive a lot and the car does not have time to charge sufficiently from a household outlet overnight, you can connect it to a 32A power outlet, with single-phase charging delivering over 7kW and three-phase charging over 20kW, which will allow you to charge the car to a full battery in a few hours and is more than enough for daily use, even if you drive a lot.

For long journeys, you need to use public charging stations. To do this, just install our app for iOS in the AppStore or for Android on Google Play and have adapters to charge your car at different stations if your car is not European and the port is different from CSS2 Combo. Most fast stations in Ukraine and Europe have a CSS2 connector with a capacity of sometimes hundreds of kW, slow stations have Type 2 or Type 1 connectors. CHADEMO stations with a capacity of up to 50 kW are gradually disappearing, and the adapter for them is not the cheapest, so its purchase is not mandatory.

Tesla Model X battery characteristics

One of the key advantages of the Tesla Model X is its battery, which provides a long range on a single charge. Modern versions of the Model X have a battery capacity of up to 100 kWh, which allows you to travel more than 500 km on a single charge. This performance makes Model X an ideal vehicle for both daily commuting and long journeys. However, efficient use of the battery requires following several charging rules and maintaining optimal operating conditions.

Model X also has a built-in battery cooling system that helps maintain a stable temperature during charging, regardless of weather conditions. This system protects the battery from overheating in the summer or overcooling in the winter, which helps to maintain its performance at a high level.

Available charging options for Tesla Model X in Ukraine

In Ukraine, there are several charging station options available for charging the Tesla Model X, each of which is suitable for different situations - from daily commuting to long journeys. Here is an overview of the main charging methods available to Model X owners.

• Tesla Supercharger Tesla Supercharger is the fastest and most convenient way to charge your Model X on long journeys. These stations provide up to 250 kW of power, which allows you to charge the car up to 80% in 30-40 minutes. Supercharger charging stations are not yet available in Ukraine, but will be very useful for long journeys across Europe.
• Public direct current (DC) charging stations There is also a network of public direct current (DC) charging stations in major cities and along major highways in Ukraine. These stations provide up to 50 kW of power and can charge a Tesla Model X in 1-2 hours. This is a great option if you don't have access to a Supercharger but need a quick charge.
• Public alternating current (AC) charging stations Alternating current (AC) charging stations are common in many public places such as shopping centres and car parks. AC stations have a power output of 7 to 22 kW, so a full charge can take 6 to 10 hours. This option is ideal for when you plan to leave your car charging for a long time, such as when you are shopping or working.
• Home exercise For daily use, the most convenient option is to install a home charging station. The official Tesla charger delivers up to 11 kW of power and allows you to charge your car in 6-8 hours, which is ideal for charging at night.
• Charging from a standard power outlet Although charging from a 220 V household outlet is possible, it is the slowest - it can take more than 24 hours to charge a Tesla Model X in this way. Therefore, this option is only suitable in emergency cases when other options are not available.

Tips for charging Tesla Model X in Ukraine

To ensure maximum efficiency and longevity of your Tesla Model X battery, it is important to follow a few guidelines for charging and operating the vehicle. Here are some basic tips:

• Charge the battery of the 80-90% in everyday life
  Continuously charging the battery up to 100% can reduce its life. Charging up to 80-90% is optimal for daily driving and will preserve the battery's longevity. Up to 100%, the battery should only be charged before long journeys when you need maximum range.
• Avoid frequent full discharges
  Try to charge the vehicle when the charge level drops to 20-30%. Continuous use of the battery until it is fully discharged can accelerate battery wear and reduce efficiency.
• Use fast charging stations only when necessary
  Frequent use of Supercharger or other fast charging stations may reduce the battery life. For daily charging, it is better to use home charging stations or public AC power stations.
• Avoid charging in extreme temperature conditions
  Charge your vehicle in moderate temperature conditions, as very cold or hot weather can affect charging speed and battery performance. In winter, it is best to charge your vehicle in a garage or underground car park.
• Use regenerative braking mode
  The Tesla Model X has a regenerative braking system that allows energy to be recovered as the car slows down. This helps to reduce energy consumption and increase the range on a single charge.

Home charging for Tesla Model X: How to make it effective

One of the most convenient and cost-effective ways to charge your Tesla Model X is with a home charging station. By installing a charging station at home, you can charge your car at any time, especially at night when electricity rates are lower. This not only saves you time, but also allows you to keep your car ready to go at all times.

What you need to know about Tesla Model X home charging:

• Charging power
  Tesla's Wall Connector delivers up to 11 kW of power, which allows you to fully charge your car in 6-8 hours. This is ideal for overnight charging when the car is not in use.
• Benefits of night charging
  In Ukraine, electricity tariffs can be lower at night, so you can save money on charging your Tesla Model X by programming it to charge at night.
• Installing a charging station
  Before installing the charging station at home, you should check the condition of your power supply and its ability to withstand the load from the 11 kW station. It is recommended to contact a professional for safe and correct installation.
• Saving time and money
  By charging your car at home, you not only save time travelling to public charging stations, but you can also reduce your electricity costs due to nighttime tariffs.
