Tesla Model Y Long Range and Performance EV charger: which one fits best?
The Tesla Model Y Long Range and Performance both charge at home at up to 11 kW AC. Both versions use a three-phase onboard charger. Three-phase means the charger draws on all three power phases of your home connection, so it charges faster. A charger that goes beyond 11 kW adds nothing for this Tesla. Comparing versions? See the overview of the Tesla Model Y EV charger or all Tesla EV chargers.
For the Tesla Model Y Long Range and Performance we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the Tesla Model Y Long Range and Performance?
Both versions charge at up to 11 kW AC. So a three-phase 11 kW charger is the logical choice. It charges the car from empty to full overnight. A charger that also offers 22 kW adds nothing here, because the car itself caps at 11 kW AC.
Almost every charger we recommend has a built-in MID meter. A MID meter is a certified energy meter that records exactly how much you charge. That matters for one reason. From 2026 in the Netherlands only, private drivers can earn back up to 500 euro per year on home charging. They claim it back through their energy supplier. This applies only with a certified kWh meter. See our chargers with a MID meter.
A charger with dynamic load balancing also helps. Load balancing automatically adjusts the charging power, so your home fuse never trips. Prefer a simple home setup? Browse our home EV chargers. You can also compare all 11 kW EV chargers in our range.
Installation is handled by a certified partner, not by our own staff. We install in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. Shipping, however, is worldwide. We always advise a certified electrician for the connection, which is safer and important for your insurance.
How long does the Tesla Model Y Long Range and Performance take to charge?
Base your estimate on the usable battery of 75 kWh. On an 11 kW charger the bare sum is 75 / 11, which is about 6.8 hours. Including charging losses the realistic time is around 8 hours 15 minutes. That is ideal for charging overnight. With only a single-phase connection the power drops to 3.7 kW, and a full charge takes much longer. Away from home you can add a separate Type 2 charging cable for public charging points on the road. On a fast charger the Model Y handles up to 250 kW.
Other versions of the Tesla Model Y
This page covers both the Long Range and the Performance, because both charge at home at the same 11 kW AC. A separate charger per version is therefore not needed. For the full overview of every version, see the Tesla Model Y model page.
Frequently asked questions
Do the Tesla Model Y Long Range and Performance need a three-phase connection?
For the full 11 kW yes. With a single-phase connection you charge at up to 3.7 kW, whatever the charger delivers. With three-phase at home both versions use the full 11 kW. We advise a certified electrician for the connection, which is safer and important for your insurance.
Why is a MID meter important for the Tesla Model Y?
A MID-certified kWh meter records your charging exactly. From 2026 in the Netherlands only, private drivers can earn back up to 500 euro per year through their energy supplier. Business drivers can also register their charging sessions. Without a MID meter you miss those options.
