Hello, Does anyone know if one can use a home Tesla charger to charge the 296? Of course using the proper adapter. Thanks.
Sure you can use it but you run the risk of doing major harm. Why not use the OEM one which regulates the charge.
Because I have an installed Tesla charger in my garage so instead of plugging in the OEM one, I thought I could use the one I already have on the wall.
With the complexity of the hybrid system and the fact that the car is very finicky I would not chance it. The OEM is only 110 and not 220. I have mine plugged into the regular 110 outlet and have never even tried using my CCS charger. I think the manual even says to only use the OEM.
I have Tesla wall charger with 220v/48a service to charge my Model Y. Are you planning to use 220v to charge the 296? I have a 296 GTS on deposit waiting for my Allocation to come up. I thought they charged, as my current 458 Spider does, on 110v in the US.
That is my case as well. That is why I asked but most people on this forum said not to use it out if precaution. I'm pretty sure it's fine as well but I'm using the one that came with the car.
The battery in the 296 is small and only needs a 110 outlet. I wouldn’t personally run anything higher to it, that just sounds like a bad idea given Ferrari electronics….and there is no need.
Nice! I have a Porsche wall charger outside that I use for my Taycan, was going to use that for the 296 since i dont have a mains-plug outside, but I wasn't sure if it would have any problems. Can I ask, how long have you used the Porsche charger for on the 296? Have you had any charging problems? Thanks!
The 296 user manual actually mentions that you can use commercial/ public charging stations if necessary so don’t see why it would be an issue.
It’s just an abundance of caution. These parts communicate with each other, if there is a fault, you are making it easier to deny possible warranty coverage. Why do it when they provide you the charger? Sent from my iPad using FerrariChat
Caution is no doubt good but I don't think using a commercial charger would void the warranty, and please correct me if I'm wrong about this. All charging stations talk to the EV when plugged in and before the charging cycle begins, they negotiate parameters like voltage, current and power via standard protocols (IEC 61851 / ISO 15118). Today the possibility of breaking anything in an EV when using a charger that fits the plug, should theoretically be zero, in fact if the vehicle or protocol are not fully recognized, the charge cannot begin. That is not to say that one should do experiments recklessly, just that I do not see an immediate reason for things to break, charging systems have been designed to handle events like plugging in unsupported EVs (and this shouldn't even be the case here). So worst I can see it happening, is the charging station not initiation the charging cycle.
