The Best Home Chargers For Tesla

ByMathew Updated on

Before we dive into the details, let’s familiarize ourselves with some key considerations regarding all the latest Tesla models, specifically, max AC/ power output and estimated charging times.

ModelAC PortMax. AC Power OutputEstimated AC Charge Time
Model 3SAE J1772 or Tesla Type11.5 kW~6h-9h
Model YSAE J1772 or Tesla Type11.5 kW~6h-9h
Model SSAE J1772 or Tesla Type17.2 kW~6h-9h
Model XSAE J1772 or Tesla Type17.2 kW~6h-9h

You’ll notice the max AC power output. Therefore, it is important to select a home charger that can handle a higher power output for optimal charging times.

Even though there are more powerful versions of the chargers on this list available, most homes are limited to a 50 Amp circuit.

But what does that mean? Essentially your home will be capped at around 10 kW of output. So it’s important not to over-invest in equipment you can’t get all the benefits from to avoid unnecessary expenses and ensure efficient charging.
