How long will it take to charge my Tesla Model S?
| Charging Point | Max Power | Power | Time | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wall Plug (2.3 KW) | 230V / 1x10A | 2.3 kW | 48h18m | 13km/h |
| 1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) | 230V / 1x16A | 3.7 kW | 30h1m | 22km/h |
| 1-phase 32A(7.4 kW) | 230V /1x32A | 7,4 kW | 15h0m | 43km/h |
| 3-phase 16A (11 kW) | 400V / 3x16A | 11 kW | 10h15m | 65km/h |
| 3-phase 32A (22 kW) | 400V / 3x16A | 11 kW * | 10h6m | 65km/h |
The larger the capacity of the battery, the longer it will take to charge. This also applies to the level of depletion of the battery (e.g. an empty battery will take longer to fully charge than a half-full battery).
It is recommended to keep your EV battery charging status between 20-80% full. When charging outside of this range, it is known to cause charging to slow down.
Maximum charge rate of the EV compared to the Maximum rate of the ChargePoint:
The interplay between the maximum charge rate that an EV is able to consume and the maximum output a ChargePoint can supply is crucial in understanding charging times. If your EV has a maximum charge rate of 7kw and you are using a 22kw ChargePoint, your EV will not charge any faster than 7kw. Equally if your vehicle is able to consume a charge rate of 11kw, however you are using a 7kw ChargePoint your EV will charge at 7kw.
When charging an EV it has been found that colder external temperatures make the charging process slightly longer, as electricity flow is reduced. This consequence is more apparent through the use of Rapid chargers. However due to the generally warm Australian climate this isn’t an issue we are greatly affected by.
TCL (Trickle Charge Lead): These leads are primarily supplied with the vehicle at the time of sale. They are mainly used in PHEV Hybrid (Electric/Petrol) run vehicles and are not designed nor are they capable of fully charging the battery overnight.
