<P> In February 2014, the Automotive Science Group (ASG) published the result of a study conducted to assess the life - cycle of over 1,300 automobiles across nine categories sold in North America . The study ranked the Model S as the best environmental performer in the 2014 full - size cars category . Based on the assessment of life - cycle environmental footprint, the study concluded that the increased environmental impacts of manufacturing the vehicle are more than offset with increased environmental performance during operation . For the assessment, the study used the average electricity mix of the U.S. grid in 2014 . The Nissan Leaf had the smallest life - cycle environmental footprint of any model year 2014 automobile available in the North American market . The Automotive Service Group is an advertising - supported website and marketing consulting company founded by a Seattle couple in 2009 . </P> <P> In 2012, a study by the Union of Concerned Scientists found that an electric vehicle in the United States with similar efficiency to the Model S is responsible for the production of the same amount of CO as a gasoline - powered car that gets 34 to 115 MPG, depending on the source of electricity in the region in which the car is being charged . The study estimated that nearly half of Americans lived in regions where an electric vehicle would result in less emissions than a 50 MPG hybrid vehicle . A 2015 study by Union of Concerned Scientists found that in the US regions where the Model S is popular, the 68% higher manufacturing emissions are offset within a few years of average driving . During their life - cycle, EVs emit about half the amount of comparable fossil cars . The report assumes electric materials are recycled at a rate similar to other cars, but excludes the problem of battery disposal, "because there are sparse data on how industry is currently recycling batteries or intends to do so in the future". </P> <P> Tesla recommends that the primary method of charging be overnight charging at home, "just like your mobile phone". Tesla Model S vehicles come with the Mobile Connector, which allows charging at up to 40 amps and includes adapters for connecting to a variety of electricity sources . In North America, adapters for 120 - volt NEMA 5 - 15 and 240 - volt NEMA 14 - 50 outlets, as well as an adapter for SAE J1772 charging stations, are included . In Europe, adapters for CEE red 3P + N + E, CEE blue 2P + E, CEE 7, and BS 1363 are available (inclusion varies by country), and an adapter cable for connecting to chargers with a Type 2 connector is also included . </P> <P> The Tesla Wall Connectors is available for installation at a home or business, and it allows charging at up to 19.2 kW in North America and 22 kW in Europe (although charging the vehicle at 11.5 kW requires the High Amperage Charger option on the vehicle). </P>
