Charging a Tesla in Switzerland

[dpeilow]

Is that done to Swiss cars or by GPS to all cars?

It is done via Firmware - i asked the local Tesla Tech.

So, if you upgrade your Charging infrastructor 10A to 16A you have to upgrade the roadster firmware to get 16A (Mode 1, without signal) with the original 10/16A Cable ?

If you have a 16A firmware can you set 10A at the roadster VDS ? What is minimum Amps?

Is the original EU 10/16A 240V cable named "Spare Mobile Connector" like the US 120V 15A cable ?

yes. In Switzerland the standard outlet is 10A (newer ones may have 13A). To avoid triggering the fuse of standard outlet TM has modified the firmware to charge at 10A if no pilot is present.

If you have a 16A firmware can you set 10A at the roadster VDS ? What is minimum Amps?

yes.

Is the original EU 10/16A 240V cable named "Spare Mobile Connector" like the US 120V 15A cable ?

yes. It's the same cable as it doesn't supply any pilot signal. If you want to charge 16A with a Swiss Roadster you have to get a UMC with 16A-Adapter. (or have your firmware modified...)

So there is a risk of a Roadster passing through and plugging in a tripping things? It would be easier to do it with GPS you'd think. Oh well.

Teslaroadster charging Support in Switzerland, CH-TAB conform, TAB>Technische AnschlussBedingungen, technical connection roules


30A / 32A 240V 7,2 / 7,68kVA with 400V 20A breaker / fuse

40A 240V 9,6kVA with 400V 25A breaker / fuse, typical for appartments

70A 240V 16,8kVA with 400V 50A breaker / fuse, typical for house connection

The Swiss CH-TAB limits single phase to 16A 230V 3,6kVA , or 16A 400V 6kVA

If there are favorable grid conditions, I support you to get, by the utility, a conditional connection, with higher rates.

Hi folks,

I just talked on the Tesla "Kesselbergrennen" event in Munich some days ago with a swiss Tesla owner, who said, that Switzerland has the highest Tesla/habitant relation in the world. Switzerland decided to install on all charging stations a 64A Tesla connector ))))

By "Switzerland decided" you mean the swiss government?? I didn't hear anything like that... The government is still in deep freeze when it comes to EVs. It's a shame...

I am completly surprised and can hardly imagine such a intension.
Can you say more to this subject !
Who is Switzerland?
Could you help me to get in contact to the swiss Tesla owner, to find out more about this strategie.

May be the talk is about Texxenergy, who should make an announcement shortly...
Amd in this announcement they will say something about 63 A and Tesla....
