Tesla Charging Time Calculator

How long it takes to charge your Tesla on every option at once: a standard outlet, the Mobile Connector on a 14-50, a plug-in Level 2 charger, the Wall Connector, and a Supercharger. Pick your model and charge window, see whether your overnight hours get you there, and spot when your car's onboard charger makes a faster unit pointless.

Home times include charging losses (~10% on 240 V, ~20% on 120 V). Supercharger time is anchored on Tesla's quoted 10–80% time for each model and slows past 80%. Cold batteries, a busy or shared stall, and older Superchargers all add time. Estimates only.

Home chargers for a Tesla

Both plug straight into a NACS port and run at 48 A hardwired on a 60 A circuit, the fastest home setup in the table above. On a Model 3 RWD the car caps charging near 7.7 kW, so a 32 A Mobile Connector on a 14-50 is just as fast.

Frequently asked questions

At home on a Wall Connector, a Model Y Long Range goes from 10% to 80% in about 5 h 20 min, and from 10% to 100% in under 7 hours, so a normal overnight plug-in covers it. On the Mobile Connector with a 14-50 adapter (32 A) the same 10–80% takes about 7 h 35 min. A regular 120 V outlet adds only about 5 miles of range per hour. At a Supercharger, Tesla quotes 25–40 minutes for 10–80% depending on the model.
