Frequently asked questions.

How long does it take to charge a Tesla Model 3 Long Range?

A Tesla Model 3 Long Range with its 82 kWh battery takes approximately 9 hours from 0-100% on a 7.6 kW Level 2 charger. On a 50 kW DC fast charger, a 10-80% charge takes about 69 minutes. Use the calculator above to get exact times for your specific charging setup.

Can the Tesla Model 3 Long Range use a Level 2 charger?

Yes — all Tesla Model 3 Long Range models support Level 2 AC charging via the NACS (Tesla) connector. A 7.6 kW Level 2 charger is the most common home installation and provides a full charge overnight.

What is the max fast charging speed for the Tesla Model 3 Long Range?

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range supports DC fast charging up to 250 kW. At this peak speed, a 10-80% charge takes approximately 14 minutes under optimal conditions (temperature, state of charge, etc.).

How much range does the Tesla Model 3 Long Range gain per hour of charging?

On a 7.6 kW Level 2 charger, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range gains approximately 34 miles of range per hour. On a 250 kW DC fast charger, this jumps to roughly 1107 miles per hour.

Should I charge the Tesla Model 3 Long Range to 100%?

For daily driving, charging to 80% preserves long-term battery health. The final 20% charges at a much slower rate due to the battery management system tapering power. Save 100% charges for road trips where you need maximum range.
