How long does it take to slow charge a Tesla?
2 Answers
Tesla slow charging takes about 12 hours to fully charge. Introduction: Tesla is an American electric vehicle and energy company that manufactures and sells electric vehicles, solar panels, and energy storage equipment. Headquartered in Palo Alto, it was founded on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. The founders named the company "Tesla Motors" in honor of physicist Nikola Tesla. Main models: Tesla models include Roadster, Model S, Model X, Model 3, Model Y, etc.
For Model 3 RWD owners, home charging is the most practical option. With a 7kW slow charger, it takes about 6.5 hours to go from 20% to 90%, and in real-world tests, it adds roughly 50 km of range per hour. For long-range versions or models with larger batteries like the Model S, it might take 8-9 hours. However, it's best not to wait until the battery is completely drained—I usually plug in after work, and by the time I finish dinner and watch some shows, it's ready for the next day's commute. Note that charging slows down in cold winter weather, so it's better to plug in and let the battery preheat for about 30 minutes before charging to save time.
