How Long Does It Take to Charge to 200 Miles on a Tesla Supercharger?

Charging a Tesla to add 200 miles of range at a Supercharger typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes depending on several factors including:

Battery Size and Model

Different Tesla models have different battery capacities and charging speeds. The Model S and Model X generally charge faster than the Model 3 and Model Y due to their larger battery sizes.

State of Charge (SoC)

The charging speed decreases as the battery approaches full capacity. Charging from a lower SoC, for example, 10, will be faster than charging from a higher SoC, for example, 80.

Supercharger Version

Teslas V3 Superchargers can provide up to 250 kW of power, allowing for faster charging times compared to older V2 Superchargers which provide up to 150 kW.

In general, if you're starting with a lower battery level, you can expect to reach 200 miles of range in about 15 to 20 minutes at a V3 Supercharger. If you're starting with a higher charge, it may take closer to 30 minutes or more.

Simple Answer

About 20 minutes.

Note that 200 miles is about 2.5 hours of continuous driving at between 70 to 80 mph. After that amount of driving time, my 20-minute charging break is a welcome leg stretch and coffee stop. This is how it goes for me.

Lots of Variables

Is the battery warm/preconditioned? What supercharger, specific version (Supercharger V1, V2, V3)? What is the starting charge level, for example, 0, 10, 25, etc.? Which car and which battery type? How many miles per kWh are you getting?

Personal Experiences

I almost never go more than 150 miles before charging… that's the equivalent of refueling just a little above half a tank. The real-world range of my long-range Model 3 is about 330 miles.

I use level 2 chargers for most of my needs because they're free in my area. They are quite a bit slower than Tesla Superchargers. However, I've never taken longer than 20 minutes to use a Tesla Supercharger on the rare occasions when I did.

Conclusion

The charging time can vary significantly depending on the specific conditions. The average charging time to reach 200 miles of range using a Tesla Supercharger is generally around 20 minutes, but it can be less or more based on the factors mentioned above.
