Choosing a mobile charging station for Tesla Model 3

The Tesla Model 3 Mobile Charging Station is an indispensable solution for electric vehicle owners who want the flexibility to charge their car without being tied to fixed points. It allows you to connect to different types of power grids, which is especially useful for those who travel a lot or are unable to install a stationary charger.

We remind you that you can purchase home and commercial charging stations in our online storeand also use the public charging stations ECOFACTORcharging points located throughout Ukraine. For convenient access to charging infrastructure, we recommend using our mobile applicationwhich is available on iOS and Android.

The main criteria for choosing a mobile charging station are power, compatibility with sockets and the power grid, charging speed, cable length, and additional features such as remote control and current regulation. In this article, we'll look at how to choose the right mobile charging station for the Tesla Model 3 and which models are the best on the market.

Types of mobile charging stations

Mobile chargers for the Tesla Model 3 differ in terms of their specifications, functionality and connectivity. They may have different power levels, levels of protection against external influences, and additional features such as current regulation, remote control, or support for different adapters.

The main types of mobile chargers:

• Charging cables with adaptersThe simplest and most budget-friendly option that allows you to charge your Tesla Model 3 from standard 220 V household sockets. Their power is limited to 3-7 kW, so they are suitable for slow charging of the car overnight.
• Medium power portable chargersAlternating current (AC) chargers: support alternating current (AC) and can work with both single-phase and three-phase networks. This is the best option for those looking for a balance between charging speed and mobility.
• Universal mobile charging stationsThe most advanced models that support charging from different types of power grids and have adjustable power. They can operate at up to 22 kW, charging the Tesla Model 3 much faster than standard charging cables.

The difference between a wall and mobile charging station

Wall-mounted and mobile charging stations perform the same function - charging an electric vehicle - but have significant differences. Both options are suitable for different situations, and the choice depends on the way you use it, the charging location and the available infrastructure.

A wall-mounted charging station is typically installed in a private garage or in a personal parking space. This stationary solution provides stable, fast and secure charging without the need to constantly plug into different sockets. Wall-mounted stations typically have a higher power output, which can significantly reduce charging times. They also support flexible charging current settings, control via a mobile app, and are often integrated with smart home systems. The main advantage of this option is convenience - you can always charge your car at home without depending on public charging stations.

A mobile charging station is a compact and portable device that can be stored in the trunk and used anywhere with access to an electrical outlet. This solution is especially useful when travelling or when it is not possible to install a wall charger. Mobile chargers are usually less expensive and offer more flexibility in terms of charging locations. However, they may have lower power, which increases charging time. Before purchasing, make sure that the device supports ungrounded charging, which will allow you to use any available 10A, 16A, or 32A outlet. When connecting to household sockets, the heat should be controlled to avoid overheating and damage to the power supply.

The choice between a wall-mounted and a mobile station depends on individual needs. If the electric vehicle is charged primarily at home, a wall-mounted station is the best option. If you need flexibility and the ability to charge in different places, a mobile charging station is the best solution.

How to choose a mobile charging station for Tesla Model 3

The choice of charger should be tailored to your needs and operating conditions. For urban use, a smaller charger may be sufficient, while for long journeys you should consider a device with fast charging capabilities.

When choosing a mobile charging station, you should pay attention to the following factors:

• Compatible with the power grid: If your Tesla Model 3 is made for the US market, it uses the NACS (North American Charging Standard) connector, which may require a special adapter. European models use a Type 2 connector, which is compatible with most charging stations on the European market.
• Charging power: The higher the power of the charging station, the faster the battery can be recharged. Single-phase chargers typically have a power output of 3.7 to 7.4 kW, while three-phase chargers can operate at 11-22 kW.
• Additional features: Some chargers are equipped with intelligent features such as remote control, a display with charging indicators, the ability to select the current strength, etc.
