Charging time for a Tesla depends on the model, charger type, and battery state. Here are the key details:

• Tesla Supercharger (DC fast charging): Charges from about 10-20% to 80% in roughly 15-30 minutes, adding around 150-200 miles of range depending on the model and charger version (up to 250 kW power). For example, Model S can gain about 200 miles in 15 minutes, Model 3 about 175 miles

• Tesla Wall Connector (Level 2, 240V): Typically takes 5 to 10 hours for a full charge from empty, depending on model and battery size. For instance, Model 3 can take about 8-10 hours, Model S about 7-10 hours, Model X around 7.5 hours

• Standard 120V outlet (Level 1): Very slow, taking 30-50 hours or more for a full charge from empty, making it impractical for daily use. Adds only a few miles of range per hour

• Examples by model:

Tesla Model| Supercharger (10-80%)| Wall Connector (Full)| 120V Outlet (Full)
---|---|---|---
Model 3| 15-25 minutes| 5-8 hours| ~48 hours
Model S| 30 minutes| 7-10 hours| ~58 hours
Model X| 30 minutes| ~7.5 hours| ~50+ hours
Model Y| ~15-25 minutes| ~5-8 hours| ~40+ hours

Charging speed slows down as the battery fills, so Tesla recommends charging to about 80% for daily use and only fully charging when needed. Home charging overnight with a Wall Connector is common and practical for most users. In summary, a full charge can take from about half an hour on a Supercharger (to 80%) up to 8-10 hours with a home Wall Connector, or multiple days on a standard outlet
