FAQs
What kind of EV charger does a Tesla use?
All Teslas can charge at any Evie charging site using the CCS2 plug.
How long does it take to charge a Tesla electric car?
How long it takes to charge your Tesla at an Evie charger depends on several factors, including:
- Charging station speed: Charger speeds (e.g., 50kW vs 150kW) affect charging time.
- Your vehicle’s state of charge (SOC): Generally, a lower SOC (e.g.20%), charges faster than a higher SOC, as the charge rate starts to slow down once your vehicle reaches a higher SOC (-approx. 75% – 80% capacity).
- Your vehicle’s battery size: A larger battery will allow your Tesla to travel further on a single charge, but will take longer to charge.
- Your vehicle’s battery temperature and climate conditions: Extreme temperatures can affect charging speed.
- Sharing the one charger: If two people charge simultaneously (using the same unit but different plugs).Here are some indicative timings based on the charger speed and vehicle SOC:
- 350kW and 150kW chargers: 20-35 minutes (20% to 80%)
- 75kW/50kW chargers: 40-55 minutes (20% to 80%)
If we put the EV jargon to the side, charging time is often compared to everyday activities. With faster chargers (150kW-350kW), it’s like a quick trip to the restroom or grabbing a snack. Slower chargers (50kW) give you more time, perfect for enjoying a meal or doing your grocery shopping.
How much does it cost to charge a Tesla electric car?
The cost depends on factors such as battery size and charger speed. Here’s an example of indicative costs charging from 20% to 80% with a 75kW battery:
- 150kW – 350kW Chargers: Typically between $25 to $45
- 50kW/75kW Chargers: Typically between $15 to $28Please note that these are approximate costs. We encourage drivers to refer to the Evie app for site-specific and up-to-date charging costs.
