Can I charge my Tesla car with solar power?
Can I charge my Ather Bike with solar power?
This question is very common among homeowners who bought electric vehicles. Yes, you can charge your Tesla car with solar panels. A Tesla car is a vehicle that does not require a drop of gasoline to operate. It uses electricity instead to power its electric motors that drive the carâs wheels. Its electricity source is a pack of batteries that are placed safely inside this EV.
To get started, here is the list of Tesla car models and their basic details. We will be basing our calculations on the battery capacity of each one of them. Tesla cars have an average of 77.8 kWh battery capacity. The average travel range is 300 miles or 482.8 kilometers from one full charge.
How many solar panels do you need to charge a Tesla car?
To quickly answer this question, we present to you a table below detailing approximately how many solar panels you would need to charge your Tesla car. The chart below shows the approximate size of a solar PV system according to a personâs daily usage of the electric vehicle.
To cover the energy cost for EV charging with solar panels, you will need to calculate how far you would drive on average every day. You could be able to determine this if you have recorded the mileage of your car. This will then determine how much electrical energy your electric vehicle will require throughout the year. This will ultimately give you the size of the solar PV system you would need to install.
Average Daily Drive (miles) | Average Daily Drive (km) | System Capacity (kW) | 300 Watts Solar Panels | 400 Watts Solar Panels | 450 Watts Solar Panels |
25 to 40 | 40 to 64 | 6.25 | 21 | 16 | 14 |
40 to 60 | 64 to 96 | 9.38 | 32 | 24 | 21 |
60 to 80 | 96 to 129 | 12.60 | 42 | 32 | 28 |
80 to 120 | 129 to 193 | 18.85 | 63 | 48 | 42 |
