Wondering what kind of charging efficiency folks are measuring on their L1 or L2 home charging setup.
I was expecting under 80% efficiency for L1 based on some posts I've seen, but TeslaFi shows:
USED 13.46 kWh
ADDED 11.59 kWh
Efficiency 86.1%
12:00 AM - 7:45 AM
AVG 116 V
MAX 118 V
AVG 15 A
MAX 15 A
Miles Added 52.81
I limited charging to 15A. I am using the 5-20 adapter on the mobile connector.
I'm surprised we are getting such high efficiency and am wondering if L2 would be much more efficient. I don't anticipate needing to add more than 50 miles per night. In addition to the safety of a hardwired connector, my reason for considering L2 is to get higher efficiency, but I don't know how much more efficient L2 would be if we are already getting 86% on L1.
Wondering why we are getting 86% on L1. Do newer wires and connectors have higher efficiency? This is a new 120V 20A circuit we installed in our garage this year and it runs to a new 200A panel.
