It is more than obvious that electric vehicles are the future and almost the present. Although it is much more expensive to purchase than a regular car, the maintenance is lower and, on an environmental level, it is 100% higher.
Nonethelessone of the big disadvantages of this type of vehicle is the tiring load. It is normal for batteries to take 6 to 8 hours to fully recharge, and if we are talking about the future (already present), this is an aspect that needs improvement. Quantum batteries, as we have already reported, seem to be able to find a solution by reducing the time to 3 minutes.
We still have a long way to go until this is achieved, or at least reduce the time. Companies continue to work to offer faster charging times and even more mainstream charging stations, such as highways, that can charge electric vehicles.
Until then let’s see how long does it take to charge some of the most popular Tesla models: Model 3, Model X, Model Y and Model S.
Tesla Model 3
We currently find 3 different versions of this model on the market: Model 3 Performance, Model 3 Long Range and Model 3 Standard Range Plus, each with a different range.
However, in general, the Model 3 can be charged at speeds up to 4 km/h using NEMA 5-15 (Level 1, 120V) chargers and can be fully charged in 8-12 hours using NEMA 14-50 chargers. . (level 2, 240 V) and 7-8 hours via plug.
If we are already moving on to Tesla superchargers, then we are talking about a full charge in 25 or 30 minutes.
Tesla Model X
Tesla’s first SUV, Model X, is available in two versions: Model X Performance and Model X Long Range.
Model X can be charged at speeds up to 4 km/h using NEMA 5-15 chargers and can still be charged completely in 18 hours using NEMA 14-50 chargers and after about 8 hours through the wall connector. The supercharger charges the car in 25-30 minutes.
Tesla Model Y
Tesla Model Y.

The new Tesla SUV is also available in three different versions: Rear-wheel drive Model Y Standard Range, Model Y Long Range and Model Y Performance.
As for its carrying capacity, we find ourselves in a situation similar to the previous one. can be charged completely within 12 hours with NEMA 14-50 chargers and after 7-8 hours with wall outlet. With the supercharger, the charging time is again reduced to 25 minutes.
Tesla Model S
Tesla Model S offers the greatest autonomy among all electric vehicles of the company, which is also available in three different versions: Model S Performance, Model S Long Range and Model S Plaid.
However, the charging time has already been extended by a few more hours. The Model S can be charged at speeds up to 4 km/h using NEMA 5-15 chargers and can be fully charged. just under 18 hours with NEMA 14-50 chargers and 9 hours with outlet. The supercharger reduces the car’s charge for up to 30 minutes.
