Tesla’s commitment to sustainable energy solutions has just taken a big step forward with a breakthrough feature for the world of electric vehicles: Solar-powered charging support.
Accordingly, owners of Tesla electric vehicles can now charge their cars completely using electricity charged from the solar system. This idea, when widely applied, is expected to revolutionize the way electric vehicles are charged, while further helping to reduce carbon emissions into the environment.
Called “Charge On Solar,” the feature requires several upgrades involving not only the hardware but also the software of the Tesla vehicle. The Powerwall is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery home energy storage product manufactured by Tesla Energy. Powerwall can be understood simply as a battery for a household, charged with solar energy and powering the house in the evening.
To access this eco-friendly charging method, Tesla electric vehicle owners need to make sure their vehicle is running on the latest version of the system software. After completing the necessary upgrades, Tesla vehicle owners can enable the “Charge On Solar” function through the Tesla app.
This feature allows users to customize their charging experience by setting charging limits and choosing preferred charging locations. Such a level of personalization ensures that users can tailor their electric vehicle charging to their specific energy needs.
To optimize the solar charging process, Tesla vehicles equipped with the “Charge On Solar” feature will continuously monitor the charging status in real time. Every ten seconds, the system automatically adjusts the required charge level. Furthermore, users can schedule when to use solar charging, providing more flexibility as well as tight control over energy usage.
The introduction of “Charge On Solar” marks an important milestone in Tesla’s mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. By harnessing excess solar energy to power electric vehicles, Tesla is pushing the boundaries of green technology and promoting a greener, more sustainable future.
