Can A Jackery Charge A Tesla?

If you own a Tesla, you might be wondering if you can use a portable power station to charge it in case of an emergency or when you’re off the grid. The answer is yes, but there are some factors to consider before you plug in your electric car to a Jackery portable power station.

Jackery portable power stations can charge a Tesla, but the charging speed and duration depend on the battery capacity and output power of the Jackery model, as well as the battery level and consumption rate of the Tesla model.

In this post, we’ll explain how to charge a Tesla with a Jackery portable power station, how long it will take, and what are the pros and cons of this method. We’ll also answer some frequently asked questions about Jackery portable power stations and Tesla charging.

How to Charge a Tesla with a Jackery Portable Power Station

To charge a Tesla with a Jackery portable power station, you’ll need the following items:

• A Jackery portable power station with enough battery capacity and output power to charge your Tesla. The Jackery Explorer 1000 is one of the most powerful models, with a 1002Wh capacity and a 1000W continuous output (2000W surge power).
• A Tesla mobile connector or wall connector with an adapter that fits the AC outlet of the Jackery portable power station. The Jackery Explorer 1000 has two pure sine wave AC outlets that can accommodate most standard plugs.
• A suitable location to park your Tesla and place your Jackery portable power station. Make sure the area is well-ventilated, dry, and away from flammable materials.

Once you have everything ready, follow these steps to charge your Tesla with a Jackery portable power station:

1. Turn on your Jackery portable power station and check the battery level on the LCD screen.
2. Plug your Tesla mobile connector or wall connector into one of the AC outlets of the Jackery portable power station.
3. Plug the other end of the connector into your Tesla’s charging port.
4. Set the charging limit and current on your Tesla’s touchscreen or app.
5. Monitor the charging progress on your Tesla’s dashboard or app, and on the Jackery’s LCD screen.

How Long Does It Take to Charge a Tesla with a Jackery Portable Power Station?

The charging time of a Tesla with a Jackery portable power station depends on several factors, such as:

• The battery capacity and output power of the Jackery portable power station. The higher the capacity and output, the longer and faster it can charge your Tesla.
• The battery level and consumption rate of your Tesla. The lower the level and higher the consumption, the longer it will take to charge your Tesla.
• The charging limit and current settings on your Tesla. The higher the limit and current, the faster it will charge your Tesla, but also consume more power from the Jackery portable power station.

To give you an idea of how long it takes to charge a Tesla with a Jackery portable power station, here are some examples based on different scenarios:

• If you have a Jackery Explorer 1000 with a full battery (1002Wh) and you want to charge a Tesla Model 3 with a 50% battery (37kWh), it will take about 18 hours to fully charge it at 5A current (the lowest setting). However, this is assuming that you don’t use any power from the Jackery for anything else, and that your Tesla doesn’t consume any power while charging (which is unlikely).
• If you have a Jackery Explorer 1000 with a half battery (501Wh) and you want to charge a Tesla Model Y with a 25% battery (18kWh), it will take about 6 hours to charge it to 50% at 10A current (the medium setting). However, this is also assuming that you don’t use any power from the Jackery for anything else, and that your Tesla doesn’t consume any power while charging (which is also unlikely).
• If you have a Jackery Explorer 1000 with a quarter battery (250Wh) and you want to charge a Tesla Model S with a 10% battery (9kWh), it will take about 2 hours to charge it to 20% at 15A current (the highest setting). However, this is also assuming that you don’t use any power from the Jackery for anything else, and that your Tesla doesn’t consume any power while charging (which is also unlikely).

As you can see, charging a Tesla with a Jackery portable power station is not very fast or efficient, but it can be done in case of an emergency or when you’re off the grid.

What Are the Pros and Cons of Charging a Tesla with a Jackery Portable Power Station?

Charging a Tesla with a Jackery portable power station has some advantages and disadvantages, depending on your situation and needs. Here are some of them:

Pros

• You can charge your Tesla anywhere, anytime, without relying on the grid or a public charging station.
• You can use the Jackery portable power station to power other devices and appliances while charging your Tesla, such as a fridge, a coffee maker, or a CPAP machine.
• You can recharge the Jackery portable power station with solar panels, which is eco-friendly and cost-effective.
• You can enjoy the peace and quiet of a battery-powered generator, without the noise and fumes of a gas-powered generator.

Cons

• You can only charge your Tesla for a limited time and at a slow speed, depending on the battery capacity and output power of the Jackery portable power station.
• You will consume a lot of power from the Jackery portable power station, which will reduce its battery life and require frequent recharging.
• You will need to buy a compatible connector and adapter to charge your Tesla with the Jackery portable power station, which may add to the cost and hassle.
• You will need to find a suitable location to place your Jackery portable power station and your Tesla, which may not be easy or convenient.

FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions about Jackery portable power stations and Tesla charging:

Q: Can I charge my Tesla faster with a higher output Jackery portable power station?

A: Yes, but only up to a certain point. The maximum charging speed of your Tesla depends on the maximum input power of your Tesla’s onboard charger, which varies by model and year. For example, the Tesla Model 3 has a maximum input power of 11.5kW, which means that even if you use a Jackery portable power station with a higher output than that, it won’t charge any faster.

Q: Can I charge my Jackery portable power station while charging my Tesla?

A: Yes, but only if you use solar panels to recharge the Jackery portable power station. This is called pass-through charging, and it allows you to use the solar energy directly to charge your Tesla, while also replenishing the battery of the Jackery portable power station. However, this will also slow down the charging speed of both devices.

Q: Will charging my Tesla with a Jackery portable power station damage my Tesla’s battery?

A: No, as long as you use a compatible connector and adapter, and follow the instructions and safety precautions of both devices. The Jackery portable power station has built-in protection features that prevent overcharging, overloading, overheating, short-circuiting, and other potential hazards. The Tesla also has its own battery management system that regulates the charging process and protects the battery from damage.

Conclusion

Charging a Tesla with a Jackery portable power station is possible, but not very practical. It can be useful in case of an emergency or when you’re off the grid, but it won’t give you much range or speed. It’s better to use the Jackery portable power station for other purposes, such as powering your appliances or devices while camping or during a power outage.
