Tesla Model 3 (RWD) charging cost & time
| Scenario | Energy | Time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public DC 20% → 80% | 36 kWh | 21 minutes | $27.72 |
| Public DC 0% → 100% | 60 kWh | 53 minutes | $46.20 |
| At home (AC) 20% → 80% | 36 kWh | 3 hours 16 minutes | $10.70 |
Tesla Model 3 (RWD) charging time by charger power
How long the Tesla Model 3 (RWD) 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% | 27 hours 16 minutes |
| Home wallbox | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 8 hours 34 minutes |
| Public AC | 11 kW | 0% → 100% | 5 hours 27 minutes |
| DC fast | 170 kW | 10% → 80% | 24 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 3 (RWD) charges 10% → 80% on DC fast charging in about 24 minutes, peaking at around 175 kW. LFP pack; Supercharger V3+.
The Tesla Model 3 (RWD) is estimated to charge from 20% to 80% on public DC fast charging in about 21 minutes (ultra-fast DC).

Battery care
This car uses an LFP battery, which tolerates routine charging to 100%. Charging full now and then is fine and even helps the car read its charge level accurately.
Savings vs a petrol car
This charge adds about 262 km of range for $27.72. Driving the same distance on petrol would cost:
| Engine size | Petrol cost | You save |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1000 cc | $49.79 | $22.07 |
| 1000–1500 cc | $58.84 | $31.12 |
| 1500–2000 cc | $72.42 | $44.70 |
| 2000–2500 cc | $86.00 | $58.28 |
| > 2500 cc | $104.10 | $76.38 |
Estimated from typical combined fuel use by engine size and RON95 at $3.46/L. Charging at home saves the most; actual figures vary with driving and conditions.
