Power Levels and Charging Speeds for Tesla Home Charging

The power level you choose for your home EV charger directly affects charging speed and efficiency. Tesla vehicles can be charged using three primary methods: Level 1 (120V), Level 2 (240V), and the Supercharger (available only in public stations). Let’s explore these in detail.

Key Benefits of Residential EV Charger Installation

Level 1 Charging (120V): With a standard 120V wall outlet, known as Level 1 charging, you can expect about 3 to 5 kilometres of range per hour of charging time. For example, charging a Tesla Model 3 with a 500 km range would take multiple days of continuous charging. While Level 1 charging is feasible in emergencies or for minimal driving, it’s not a practical long-term solution for daily driving.


Level 2 Charging (240V): For most Tesla owners, Level 2 charging is the ideal choice. This requires a 240V outlet, which provides up to 40 kilometers of range per hour, allowing you to fully charge your Tesla overnight. A Tesla Wall Connector can be installed for maximum efficiency, offering faster charging and better performance compared to using a standard outlet. With a Tesla Wall Connector installation, you’ll have the convenience of charging your vehicle at home, without frequent trips to public charging stations.


Level 3 Charging (Supercharger) Tesla's Superchargers are the fastest way to charge your vehicle, providing up to 200 kilometers of range in just 15 minutes. However, these chargers are available only at public stations and are not intended for home installation. Moreover, regular use of Superchargers can wear down your vehicle's battery over time, making Level 2 charging the better option for daily use.

Choosing the Right Tesla Home Charging Solution

Deciding which charging option to install at home depends on factors like your driving habits, budget, and whether you have multiple electric vehicles. Here’s what you should consider:

Standard Wall Outlet (Level 1): While a standard wall outlet can provide basic charging, it’s not recommended for long-term use due to the slow charging speed. For Tesla owners who drive frequently or have longer commutes, Level 1 charging will not provide enough range quickly enough.


Tesla Wall Connector (Level 2): The Tesla Wall Connector is the best option for most EV owners. It connects to a 240V outlet, allowing you to charge your Tesla efficiently overnight. This is ideal for families with more than one EV or anyone who wants the convenience of waking up to a fully charged vehicle every morning. The cost of installing a Level 2 charger varies depending on your home’s electrical infrastructure, but Milton EV Experts can provide a detailed estimate during your consultation.

Key Considerations for Tesla Home Charging

Before deciding on a Tesla home charger, there are a few key factors to consider:

Electrical Infrastructure: Installing a Level 2 charger, such as the Tesla Wall Connector, requires a 240V outlet. You may need an electrical panel upgrade to accommodate the increased power demand, depending on your home's current infrastructure. Our licensed electrical contractors at Milton EV Experts can assess your setup and recommend the best course of action.


Time-of-Use Charging: Electricity rates vary based on the time of day, and charging during off-peak hours can save you money. In Ontario, time-of-use rates mean it's cheaper to charge your vehicle late at night or early in the morning. Planning your charging schedule can significantly reduce your EV charging costs.


Hiring a Licensed Electrical Contractor: It’s crucial to hire a licensed electrical contractor to handle your Tesla Wall Connector installation. At Milton EV Experts, our team of licensed electricians is experienced in EV charger installs and will ensure your installation is safe, efficient, and compliant with local regulations.

EV Charger Rebates in Ontario and Canada

Currently, Ontario does not offer rebates for home EV charger installations for single-family homes. However, federal incentives through the Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) may provide up to 50% off installation costs for Level 2 chargers for multi-unit residential buildings, workplaces, and public areas. We recommend checking with local authorities or your utility provider for the latest information on incentives and rebates, as programs can change frequently.
