Should You Charge Your Tesla Every Night?

Yes, you can charge your Tesla every night. There is no problem in charging your Tesla every night if your concern is about Tesla battery health or safety.

Regarding Suitable Practice for you

But if you ask is that the best practice?

Then I would say look at your driving habits. If you travel daily 80-100 miles then you should charge your Tesla every night.

But if you are not that rubber burner or say you travel 80-100 miles a week then I would say charging twice a week or even on weekends will be best fit for you.

Concerning Battery Health of your Tesla

But if you are asking is it good for my Tesla battery to charge every night..?

Then don’t worry about that. There’s no issue with charging every night.

Now the thing is, Lithium ion batteries which are used in EVs remain healthier by maintaining charge level between 20% to 80%. Maintaining around 50% will be even a little better.

But just like there’s best practice regarding maintaining charge level in Tesla battery, there’s no such thing as charging it how often is good.

is it good to charge Tesla often?

Now concerning frequency of charging with battery health of Tesla, there’s no issue charging Tesla often. So charging multiple times in day or charging every day or every night is perfectly fine with your Tesla.

Ok, let me tell you what I do.. I try to maintain State of Charge of my Tesla between 20% to 80% but around 50% mostly. But I also won’t hesitate to charge 100% when needed, when I am going on a trip or for my work to another city. Also, I let it fall below 10% and charge it to 100% every 10-15 days because my model Y has LFP battery and a couple of times I faced the wrong range and battery charge level estimation. Since then this practice has been best suited to my routine.

So driving 80-100 miles around a day will need to charge it daily, and charging it overnight will be best suitable with a home charger.

But for just casual city driving or casual long trips, it’s even OK to charge daily, topping off the battery in the evening or overnight. But if I feel a little lazy then I would do it every 2 or 3 days. Because it will have enough juice for me to shoot on the road and will survive for 2-3 days easily with casual driving. OR If I am further lazier then I would do a full charge every weekend when I have plenty of time and almost nothing to do.

So considering the frequency of charging it is perfectly fine to charge Tesla every night.

You got it..? It’s not rocket science. Even making rockets is not though..
