Import from TeslaMate

Back up TeslaMate

On the computer running TeslaMate, open a terminal in the folder of its docker-compose.yml file, then run:

docker compose exec -T database pg_dump -U teslamate teslamate | gzip > teslamate.bck.gz

You get the teslamate.bck.gz file: the compressed backup of the whole database.

Send it to your iPhone

Transfer teslamate.bck.gz to your iPhone, with AirDrop or iCloud Drive for instance.

Import it

1. In Copeel, open Profile › Integrations › TeslaMate.
2. Tap Choose File and select teslamate.bck.gz, without unzipping it.
3. Check the preview, choose the Period to import, then tap Import.

Copeel first reads your whole backup, then imports it month by month. It can take several minutes: you can leave Copeel, you’ll get a notification.

Good to know

• The backup must be compressed (.gz or .bz2): an uncompressed backup isn’t accepted.
• Maximum size: 500 MB compressed. Compressed with bzip2 (bzip2 instead of gzip, file teslamate.bck.bz2), a backup is smaller.
• The cost entered in TeslaMate is kept for each charge; the others are priced with your current electricity plans.
• Every car in the backup can be imported.
