Most Tesla models charge to 80% in about 15 minutes on a Tesla Supercharger. However, many factors can impact the charging speed, like the temperature outside, battery size, age of battery pack, initial state of charge, and vehicle configuration.

Additionally, Tesla Superchargers deliver power at different levels. According to Tesla’s website, a Tesla Supercharger’s maximum charging rate is 250 kilowatts. For example, what Tesla calls “V3s” charge faster (250 kW) than “V2s” (150 kW). Some say you can spot the difference by the thickness of the cable. Thicker cables are slower than the newer, thin kind. There’s also banter that Tesla started rolling out a faster “V4” Supercharger with more rapid capabilities of at least 350 kW.

No matter where or how fast you charge, Tesla models charge 25% faster when their batteries are preconditioned. Lucky for Tesla owners, they can schedule preconditioning using the app.
