Tesla Model Y RWD (Cat A) charging cost & time
| Scenario | Energy | Time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public DC 20% → 80% | 37.5 kWh | 24 minutes | $28.88 |
| Public DC 0% → 100% | 62.5 kWh | 1 hours | $48.13 |
| At home (AC) 20% → 80% | 37.5 kWh | 3 hours 25 minutes | $11.15 |
Tesla Model Y RWD (Cat A) charging time by charger power
How long the Tesla Model Y RWD (Cat A) 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% | 28 hours 25 minutes |
| Home wallbox | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 8 hours 56 minutes |
| Public AC | 11 kW | 0% → 100% | 5 hours 41 minutes |
| DC fast | 175 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 RWD (Cat A) charges 10% → 80% on DC fast charging in about 27 minutes, peaking at around 175 kW. Juniper LFP; Supercharger V3+. Cat-A 110 kW motor cap does not limit DC charging.
The Tesla Model Y RWD (Cat A) 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 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 238 km of range for $28.88. Driving the same distance on petrol would cost:
| Engine size | Petrol cost | You save |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1000 cc | $45.23 | $16.35 |
| 1000–1500 cc | $53.45 | $24.57 |
| 1500–2000 cc | $65.78 | $36.91 |
| 2000–2500 cc | $78.12 | $49.24 |
| > 2500 cc | $94.56 | $65.69 |
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.
