A PCV valve routes crankcase vapors back into the intake so the engine can burn them instead of venting pressure. If you’ve ever wondered “How Does a PCV Work?”, start with what happens below the pistons. During combustion, a small amount of gas slips past the piston rings. Mechanics call this blow-by.

Yes, a non-Tesla EV can charge at many Tesla stations when the plug, adapter, app, and vehicle settings match. A Tesla charger is not one single thing.
