The short answer to this question is yes. With the right charging setup and charging plan, it’s safe to leave a Tesla plugged in overnight.

Tesla offers charging solutions that are both home-based and public-based.

These chargers can be left plugged in overnight with no risk of overcharging or damaging your car's battery.

In fact, when it comes to Tesla cars, charging overnight is actually beneficial to maximize your battery’s life span.

Most public chargers, however, will limit the amount of energy you draw from the grid to ensure no harm is done.

To avoid putting a strain on the charging infrastructure, it's important to use them for necessary charging only.

Ultimately, the best way to get the most out of your charging setup and charge times is to use a Tesla wall connector and custom charger.
