Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD charging cost & time
| Scenario | Energy | Time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public DC 20% → 80% | 45 kWh | 24 minutes | $27.00 |
| Public DC 0% → 100% | 75 kWh | 1 hours | $45.00 |
| At home (AC) 20% → 80% | 45 kWh | 4 hours 5 minutes | $14.85 |
Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD charging time by charger power
How long the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD takes to charge at different charger power levels, capped by its own onboard limits.
| Charger | Power | Charge | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard outlet | 2.2 kW | 0% → 100% | 34 hours 5 minutes |
| Home wallbox | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 10 hours 43 minutes |
| Public AC | 11 kW | 0% → 100% | 6 hours 49 minutes |
| DC fast | 250 kW | 10% → 80% | 27 minutes |
AC rows assume constant charging power and a 0% to 100% charge. Real times vary with the onboard charger, temperature, and the charger you use.
The DC fast row (10% to 80%) is anchored to a measured charging time for this model, so it reflects the real charging curve. Times still vary with temperature and conditions.
Charging speed
Based on measured data, the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD charges 10% → 80% on DC fast charging in about 27 minutes, peaking at around 250 kW. ev-DB car/3104 (Juniper NMC, 75 kWh usable); 27 min 10-80, 250 kW peak.
The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD is estimated to charge from 20% to 80% on public DC fast charging in about 24 minutes (ultra-fast DC).

Battery care
This car uses an NMC battery. For daily use, charging to about 80% and topping up to 100% only before long trips helps it last longer; heat is the main thing that ages it.
Savings vs a petrol car
This charge adds about 306 km of range for $27.00. Driving the same distance on petrol would cost:
| Engine size | Petrol cost | You save |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1000 cc | $32.82 | $5.82 |
| 1000–1500 cc | $38.79 | $11.79 |
| 1500–2000 cc | $47.74 | $20.74 |
| 2000–2500 cc | $56.69 | $29.69 |
| > 2500 cc | $68.62 | $41.62 |
Estimated from typical combined fuel use by engine size and Regular unleaded (ULP 91) at $1.95/L. Charging at home saves the most; actual figures vary with driving and conditions.
