Tesla Model X 60D EV charger: which one fits best?

The Tesla Model X 60D charges at home at 11 kW, through a three-phase Type 2 connection. That keeps the choice simple: a Tesla Model X 60D EV charger at 11 kW matches most of these cars exactly.

The 60D was the entry version of the Model X at launch. Software limits its battery to about 62 kWh usable. It was on sale in Europe for only a few months. The other Model X versions charge at their own rates, which you can compare in our overview of all Tesla EV chargers.

For the Tesla Model X 60D we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Does your car have the optional High Amperage Charger of 16.5 kW? Then one of our 22 kW EV chargers puts that extra power to use.

Charging specifications of the Tesla Model X 60D

Which EV charger suits the Tesla Model X 60D?

The Model X 60D charges three-phase at 11 kW as standard. A three-phase 11 kW charger therefore uses the on-board charger in full. A 22 kW charger will not charge a standard car any faster, because the on-board charger sets the limit. It will not charge it any slower either. Picking a Tesla Model X home charger therefore comes down to what you want the charger itself to do.

Do you want a built-in MID meter, a kWh meter that is certified for billing? At 11 kW the choice comes down to one single model. The broad range of chargers with a MID meter sits at 22 kW. For this car that is a workable route, since 22 kW costs it no charging speed. Do check your supply first, because a 22 kW charger needs three phases and 32 A. A certified meter shows you exactly what charging at home costs, separate from the rest of your household use.

Most owners charge overnight, so an EV charger with an app earns its place. You see what the car has taken and you set the start time yourself. On the plug side there is nothing to decide. The charger type on the Model X is Type 2, the same connector every charger here uses. On the European car that same inlet carries both AC charging and Supercharging, so you need no adapter.

If this is your first charger at home, our home EV chargers gather the usual first choices in one place. We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician. That is safer, and it matters for your insurance. We arrange the installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany, where a certified partner does the work.

How long does it take to charge the Tesla Model X 60D?

With an 11 kW charger a full charge from empty takes about 6 hours and 45 minutes, including charging losses. The bare sum of 62 kWh divided by 11 kW gives 5.6 hours, but some energy is always lost. One night on the charger is plenty. The car sets the charging speed at home, not the charger. Does your 60D have the 16.5 kW High Amperage Charger? Then a 22 kW charger brings that down to about 4 hours 30 minutes. That is over two hours off, roughly a third, so it is not a halving.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Tesla Model X 60D charge at 11 or 22 kW at home?

As standard the Model X 60D charges at 11 kW through a three-phase connection of 3 x 16 A. Only cars with the optional High Amperage Charger reach 16.5 kW (3 x 24 A). For those a 22 kW charger pays off. Without that option you get no more than 11 kW out of a 22 kW charger. This is not a dual charger, by the way. That one sat in the older Model S.

Does the Model X 60D really have a smaller battery than a 75D?

Not physically, no. The 60D carries the same 75 kWh pack as the 75D, limited in software to about 62 kWh usable. Owners could pay to unlock the full capacity. For your charger choice that makes no difference, because the car charges at home at 11 kW either way.
