Model S and X can connect to a CHAdeMO DC charger with an adapter.v3 Superchargers and CCS2 connectors (natively for Model 3/Y, or via an adapter for S/X).single or 3-phase AC from standard sockets or various types of dedicated charger,.This single connector is able to connect to Third-party cables don’t have this button, but you can just push on the flap to open the motorised ones once you’ve unlocked the car (or you can open it from the charging screen in the car). Tesla-supplied cables and Superchargers have a button for both opening the flap, and unlocking the charger before removal.

Model 3 and Y also have a CCS Combo 2 extension to this socket: A Model S charge port with cable inserted A Model 3 charge port showing the additional large pins belowĭepending on your car, your charge port will have either a motorised flap or a manual one, and a single status light, or a set of smaller lights. This is not the same connector as used in America (or some other markets). Your Australian Tesla (unless you have a first-generation roadster) has a charge port with a “Type 2” connector which we share with much of the world – sometimes called a “Mennekes” connector. Superchargers and CCS2 max out at about 150-250kW and CHAdeMO adapters at about 50kW.

What you’re plugged into – depending on what you’re plugged into, you may charge as slow as 2kW from a domestic socket up to the full rate of your car’s onboard charger on 3-phase chargers and sockets – we’ll cover this in more detail below.ģ) DC – If you’re charging on DC, which means you’re using a Supercharger, a CCS-Combo2 (CCS2) or a CHAdeMO charger, the rate is governed by the charger.On “classic” Model S, this can be as much as to 22kW.

Most Teslas have a maximum AC rate of 11kW.

The size of the onboard charger in your car – this sets a maximum rate-of-charge.

This is more noticeable at Superchargers and Rapid chargers, but as a rule, regardless of how fast you charge, once you get towards 100%, your rate of charge will slow dramatically.įor this reason, it’s often better to charge up to 80 or 90% and keep driving unless you really need that extra range – also, with the exception of China-made SR+ cars which have a different battery-type, your battery will last much longer if you don’t charge to 100% all the time anyway.Ģ) AC – If you’re charging on AC, which is most places, especially those where you bring your own plug, your charging rate is limited by: How fast you charge depends essentially on 3 factors:ġ) Your current state of charge – When you charge, your battery will charge faster when it has less stored charge and slower as it gets full. We also had a live seminar which covers this topic here: While there’s basic information below, if you want the lots of technical information, you can delve deeper here. Of course, electricity comes from lots of different types of socket – from a normal domestic power point, to high-speed dedicated chargers.

Charging your Tesla is basically as simple as plugging in where there is electricity
