Overview

Charging the Model Y at home

The Model Y takes 11 kW AC, so a 7 kW single-phase charger fills it overnight and a 22 kW three-phase charger recovers a full day of driving in under 6 hours.

Best for: Suburban Perth families who want the fewest moving parts between plugging in and driving.

What makes it different

Why the Model Y stands out

Auto-authenticates with the Tesla Wall Connector, no card or app tap
Powershare on the Juniper refresh lets it back-feed the home in an outage
Sentry Mode draws ~1 kWh per day parked; overnight charging keeps it topped
Preheats the pack from the app before you unplug in winter

Worth knowing

Tesla is the only brand with true set-and-forget home charging

Plug in, walk away. The Wall Connector Gen 3 identifies the car, opens the port lock, and pushes over-the-air firmware to both sides. No third-party app in the loop.

On 7 kW single-phase

Empty to full: about 10 hours 30 min

On 22 kW three-phase

Empty to full: about 6 hours 45 min (limited to 11 kW by the car)

Daily top-up

50 km added in about 1 hour 15 min on 7 kW

Our pick for the Model Y

Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3

We match the charger to what your car can actually accept. Buying a 22 kW unit for a Model Y that only takes 11 kW AC is money spent on kilowatts you'll never use. This recommendation gets you charged overnight without overspending.
