Best for: Long-distance drivers who want the fastest home charging Tesla makes.
What makes it different
Why the Model S stands out
- 16.5 kW three-phase AC onboard — rare in the sedan segment
- 250 kW DC on Supercharger V3 makes Perth to Albany a single stop
- Adaptive air suspension standard, lowers on the freeway to add range
- Powershare-ready in the Juniper refresh for future V2H
The Model S is one of the few EVs that fully uses a 22 kW Zappi
Most cars cap at 11 kW AC. The Model S pulls 16.5 kW from three-phase, so a 22 kW Zappi actually delivers what it promises overnight.
Empty to full: about 14 hours
Empty to full: about 6 hours 15 min

Our pick for the Model S
Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3
We match the charger to what your car can actually accept. Buying a 22 kW unit for a Model S that only takes 16.5 kW AC is money spent on kilowatts you'll never use. This recommendation gets you charged overnight without overspending.
- Matches the Model S's 16.5 kW onboard AC rate
- Type 2 / CCS2 socket, native to the Tesla
- Backed by our 10-year installation warranty
