Tesla Model 3

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 3. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Tesla Model 3 can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Power	Time	Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	29h30m	8 mph
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	18h30m	14 mph
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	9h15m	27 mph
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	6h15m	40 mph
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW †	6h15m	40 mph

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

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 3.

Tesla has not released details about rapid charging the Model 3. The information below is based on estimated values of the most likely rapid charging capabilities.

• 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%

Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Avg. Power	Time	Rate
CCS (50 kW DC)	50 kW	45 kW †	56 min	180 mph
Supercharger v2 Shared (75 kW DC)	75 kW	65 kW †	39 min	260 mph
Supercharger v2 (150 kW DC)	150 kW	95 kW †	27 min	380 mph
CCS (175 kW DC)	170 kW †	100 kW †	25 min	420 mph
Supercharger v3 (250 kW DC)	170 kW †	100 kW †	25 min	420 mph
CCS (350 kW DC)	170 kW †	100 kW †	25 min	420 mph

This vehicle supports 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.
