Tesla Model Y

The cost to charge your Tesla Model Y will depend on a number of factors, for example, where you charge (at home or at a charging station), for how long and what time of day. Charging from home is the cheapest option as you'll just be paying what you pay for electricity at your property.

The Tesla Model Y has a 60kWh battery, so to work out what it would cost to charge up to full capacity, simply multiply the kWh rate for electricity by 60.

Here's an example: $0.28c/kWh of electricity x 60 (the kWh battery capacity of the Tesla Model Y) = $16.80

Be sure to check if you are on a time of use energy cost as it might be even cheaper to charge your Tesla Model Y during off peak times.

The Tesla model Y has an indicative range of 514km on a single charge. However, just like a petrol or diesel vehicle, this can vary depending on a number of factors; such as how you drive (acceleration and deceleration), the weather (colder weather can drain a battery slightly quicker) and whether or not you have air conditioning on.

Charging time of a Tesla Model Y depends on the type of charger you use.

• If using a standard 220v home or office 3 pin power point it will likely take approx. 24 hours to charge your battery from empty to full capacity.
• Should you have a 7kW charger installed (which is the most common for a single phase property), this charging time drops to approx. 10 hours.
• The fastest way to charge your Tesla Model Y is to use a commercial public charging infrastructure such as the Superfast or Ultra Rapid chargers (for an additional cost). These can charge the Tesla Model Y from empty to 80% full in approx. 1 hour.

• EV Energy Plan - super off peak rate overnight so you wake up with a full charge for less.
• EV Chargers - Level 2 home chargers for faster charging
• Solar panels and batteries - generate your own electricity and lower your charging costs even further.
