Recently purchased a Tesla? Wondering if it is okay to charge your Tesla on a Fast Charging CHAdeMO station and whether or not it will hurt the vehicle’s battery?
What will damage your Tesla battery charging it at a non-Tesla fast charging CHAdeMO station. When repeatedly charging your Tesla at one of these stations regularly, you will start to notice Tesla throttling your supercharger rate. Charging at a non-Tesla DC fast-charging station leads to damage to battery cells, that is why Tesla will throttle your supercharging rate.
When using a Tesla Supercharger, the Tesla network has a built-in battery charging protection algorithm to work together with the Tesla battery. Non-Tesla DC chargers do not have this protection. If you are close to the Victor, NY area; there are Tesla charging stations at Eastview Mall.
If you are using non-Tesla charging stations, you will start to notice an increased high heat. This will damage the battery cell with the current that is entering the battery at a continuous rate and time. Charging your Tesla at a fast-charging CHAdeMO station over time will reduce battery efficiency and you may even spend more time at a Tesla Supercharger than before.
