Charge time

On a powerful fast charger the Tesla Model Y charges from 10 to 80 percent in about 17 minutes, adding roughly 314 km. The last 20 percent charges deliberately slowly, so on a trip it pays to stop at 80.

Range

With a usable battery of 75 kWh and motorway-ish consumption around 167 Wh/km, the Tesla Model Y realistically covers about 449 km on a charge. At 130 km/h, in the cold or with a roof box the figure drops, so plan for about 80 percent of it on the motorway.

Plugs and charging

The Tesla Model Y uses CCS (Combo 2) for fast charging and Type 2 for ordinary AC, like virtually every new EV in Europe. So it fits the vast majority of public chargers without adapters.
