How long does it take to recharge a Tesla?

I’m planning a road trip across the US with my new Tesla. I want to make sure I plan enough time for a recharge at every stop. What’s the average time to recharge a Tesla?

A road trip in your new Tesla sounds amazing! Planning your stops for a road trip is a smart idea, especially when you’ll need to stop to recharge your Tesla.
When determining how long you’ll need to recharge your Tesla, you’ll need to consider the type of charger you’re using and the distance you’ll be traveling. When traveling, you have three options for charging:
  • Supercharger
  • Destination Charging
  • Third-party charging
The fastest way to recharge your Tesla is with a Supercharger. Superchargers recharge your Tesla 200 miles in 15 minutes. Destination charging is also available at some restaurants, hotels, and other locations that offer Wall Connectors for you to use. With a Wall Connector, you’ll get 44 miles per every hour charged.
Finally, many different third-party locations offer charging stations that work with the Mobile Connector you received at delivery. Typically a Mobile Connector offers two to three miles per every hour charged.
To help with planning, consider using the Go Anywhere tool or your car’s Trip Planner. Both will help you plan stops to ensure you’re never stranded.
Along with planning your charging stops, be sure your Tesla has the best
