Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Tesla Model S Ludicrous Performance. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Tesla Model S Ludicrous Performance.

Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Avg. Power	Time	Rate
Supercharger v2 Shared (75 kW DC)	75 kW	60 kW †	70 min	180 mph
Supercharger v2 (150 kW DC)	145 kW †	100 kW †	42 min	310 mph

This vehicle does not support Autocharge
This vehicle does not support Plug & Charge

† = Limited by charging capabilities of vehicle

Autocharge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations.

Plug & Charge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations in accordance with ISO 15118.

Actual charging rates may differ from data shown due to factors like outside temperature, state of the battery and driving style.

Long Distance Suitability

How suitable an electric car is for long trips depends not only on the range. How quickly the car can charge plays an almost equally important role. Whether an EV is suitable for long trips depends on the battery capacity, efficiency, and fast charging capability.

To easily compare cars among each other, a benchmark has been established that combines these factors into the total distance a vehicle can cover with one 15-minute charging stop: the '1-Stop Range'. Based on the 1-Stop Range, the 5-star rating is determined. The result of the benchmark is shown in the graph below.

1-Stop Range

5-Star Rating

The 1-Stop Range describes the distance the vehicle can cover with one 15-minute charging stop. To clearly show the impact of temperature, the 1-Stop Range is determined for three weather conditions. These weather conditions are identical to those in the Real Range benchmark. The 1-Stop Range under average conditions determines the number of stars awarded. The star rating provides a quick way to assess whether a car is suitable for long trips compared to other cars.

Assignment of Stars in 2025

0	less than 124 mi (200 km)
1	from 124 mi (200 km) to 202 mi (325 km)
2	from 202 mi (325 km) to 280 mi (450 km)
3	from 280 mi (450 km) to 357 mi (575 km)
4	from 357 mi (575 km) to 435 mi (700 km)
5	more than 435 mi (700 km)

Star ratings are based on thresholds in kilometers. Mile values shown for reference.

Vehicles with a result between these threshold values receive a rating based on a linear scale. Half stars are possible.
