Tesla · Home charging
A charging setup matched to your Tesla.
Charging speeds
What your Tesla can accept
Connector
Australian-delivered Teslas use Type 2 for AC and CCS2 for DC fast charging.
AC charging
Most Australian Teslas accept up to 11kW AC on three phase, or around 7kW single-phase.
Solar
Solar suits Tesla ownership well if the car is home during the day, diverting surplus generation into the battery.
Load management
Wall Connectors support power sharing across units on one circuit, the simplest fix for a two-Tesla household.
Installation
Typical installation for these owners
Most Tesla owners run a single-phase 7kW charger from a nearby switchboard; three phase is worth it with a higher onboard AC limit, higher daily kilometres, or a second EV likely.
Model specs
Tesla model charging specs
| Model | Battery (usable) | Onboard AC limit | Range added at 7kW | Range added at 11kW |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla Model 3 | 60kWh | 11kW | ~45km/hour | ~71km/hour |
| Tesla Model 3 Long Range | 75kWh | 11kW | ~42km/hour | ~67km/hour |
| Tesla Model Y | 60kWh | 11kW | ~42km/hour | ~67km/hour |
| Tesla Model Y Long Range | 75kWh | 11kW | ~40km/hour | ~63km/hour |
Range-per-hour figures are estimates based on mixed Australian driving efficiency, not lab figures. Onboard AC limit is the real ceiling — a higher-rated wall charger cannot exceed it.

FAQs
Tesla charging questions
Should I get the Tesla Wall Connector or a third-party charger?
The Wall Connector is tidy and usually best value. A third-party charger suits solar surplus or OCPP needs, or a non-Tesla EV in the household.
Does a Tesla need a special charger?
No — Australian Teslas charge from any Type 2 wall charger.
Can I schedule charging in the car instead?
Yes — Teslas support scheduled departure and charge limits natively.
Can I charge my Tesla from a normal power point?
Yes, but it's slow — around 10–15km of range per hour. A dedicated wall charger is faster and safer.
