How Long Does It Take to Fully Charge a Tesla?
1 Answers
Tesla charging time depends on the charging method: 1. The simplest charging method: The standard household circuit in the U.S. is 120V, 12A, which allows direct charging by connecting the charging cable to a 110V plug, then plugging it into a 110V socket, and connecting the other end of the cable to the car. The current charges the battery under the car via the built-in charger. It takes 46 hours and 17 minutes to fully charge. 2. Modified circuit charging method: TESLA recommends upgrading the garage circuit to 240V, 40A. A standard Tesla with a single charger takes 8 hours and 19 minutes to fully charge. 3. High-efficiency charging method: Installing a high-power wall-mounted charging connector in the garage or outdoors, with a voltage range of 208-250V, 60Hz, and an adjustable current range of 40A to 100A. It takes 8 hours and 19 minutes to fully charge. With the optional built-in dual charger, it only takes 4 hours and 9 minutes to fully charge. 4. Tesla Supercharger charging: The Supercharger bypasses the onboard charger and directly supplies DC power to the battery. Charging to half capacity takes only half an hour, and this time will soon be reduced to 20 minutes.
