Tesla home charging requirements
Every Tesla electric model we cover, with the charger amperage its onboard charger accepts and the circuit that needs. A larger charger will not charge these cars any faster. Where a model's answer changed between years or trims, its page lists each version.
| Model | Years | Charger | Breaker |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla Cybertruck | 2025-2026 | 48 A | 60 A |
| Tesla Model 3 | 2019-2026 | 32 A or 48 A by year or trim | 40 A or 60 A |
| Tesla Model S | 2019-2026 | 48 A | 60 A |
| Tesla Model X | 2019-2026 | 48 A | 60 A |
| Tesla Model Y | 2020-2026 | 48 A | 60 A |
Chargers for Tesla owners
Grouped by the amperage each Tesla above can accept. A larger charger than that will not charge the car any faster.

32 amp NACS cars (1 model)
No home unit is built at exactly 32 A, so these are the smallest that cover it. That is fine: the car draws only what it can take, whatever the charger is rated for.
