I have some concerns about charging electric vehicles at home. I live in an Ankara-style apartment with shared parking. What's the situation with official permits? What are the risks related to the electrical installation? Do you think this system is suitable for home use, or is it only logical for private garages? If anyone has experience to share, I'd love to hear about it. 🚗⚡
Do Tesla-style electric vehicles charge at home?

I was just like you, living in an apartment on the 3rd floor in Ankara. At first, I stressed about whether I could charge at home, then worried if it would draw too much electricity or if the plumbing could handle it. Luckily, they explained it calmly, and honestly, it took a huge weight off my mind.
I started by using the wall socket in the living room with a simple 6A charging device, and it’s been problem-free for 3 years now. Tesla’s original cable is also easy to mount on the wall, so I skipped that whole "plumbing nightmare" part. The only tricky part in my building was that the parking spots are in a shared area, so the cable had to go through the doors. I made sure to route it along the edges so no one’s property rights got messed with. So far, I haven’t had any issues with power draw, even with the old wiring. In the end, the best thing is to ask your electrician, "Can this handle the load?" But honestly, home charging makes a lot of sense.
