Charge it up, but not all the way.??Tesla CEO Elon Musk just hopped on Twitter - and he said that you should actually charge your Tesla battery only 90 to 95%.

??Musk said, “At 100% state of charge, regen braking doesn’t work, because the battery is full, so car is less energy efficient.”??He was responding to a Tesla owner who asked about charging the battery 100% and seemed concerned that she had a long commute.??Tesla’s website does offer some helpful charging information.

??It also has an interactive map for planning a trip and seeing where charging stations are.??Not just how much you charge, but when you charge may also concern you, due to cost.??Edmunds recommends checking your utility company’s plan to see if charging in the middle of the day is more or less costly than at night.
