As electric vehicle adoption continues to accelerate, choosing the right home charging solution has become increasingly critical for EV owners. State Of Charge’s comprehensive 2025 evaluation provides essential guidance for consumers navigating the evolving landscape of charging technology, examining factors that go beyond simple charging speed to include installation requirements, smart features, and long-term reliability.
The review methodology likely incorporates rigorous testing of charging performance, build quality, user interface design, and compatibility with various vehicle models. With the EV market maturing, the analysis probably considers how different chargers integrate with home energy management systems, solar compatibility, and utility demand response programs – factors that are becoming increasingly important as consumers seek to optimize their charging costs and environmental impact.
Tesla’s New Charging Animation: A Visual Upgrade for the 2024 Model Y
Tesla’s new charging graphics (2024 Tesla Model Y)
In the Tesla over-the-air update 2025.38, the on-screen visualisations were improved and it now shows a charger when you’re charging your car. In the full video https://youtu.be/FmaFXx5zsuo, I try different chargers to see if the graphics change. I try a Tesla V3 Supercharger, then a V4 Supercharger, then try two third party DC rapid chargers …
Tesla’s latest over-the-air update, 2025.38, introduces a significant visual enhancement for electric vehicle owners: a real-time charging animation that displays an on-screen charger graphic whenever the vehicle is plugged in. This seemingly minor interface upgrade represents Tesla’s continued focus on user experience, providing immediate, clear visual confirmation that the charging process has been successfully initiated—a small but meaningful quality-of-life improvement for daily EV operation.
In a detailed video demonstration, the feature is tested across multiple charging scenarios to determine if the graphics adapt to different charger types. The test includes Tesla’s own V3 Supercharger, the newer V4 Supercharger, and two separate third-party DC rapid chargers. This comprehensive testing approach helps answer a key question for Tesla owners: whether this visual feedback is universal across all charging infrastructure or specifically tailored to Tesla’s proprietary network, potentially offering clues about charger recognition capabilities in varied real-world charging situations.
