Tesla Model X 75D EV charger: which one fits best?
The Tesla Model X 75D is a heavy seven-seat SUV with a usable battery of 72.5 kWh. At home you charge it with alternating current, or AC, through a Type 2 socket. This version accepts up to 16.5 kW. That is more than most electric cars manage. The figure only appears on a three-phase supply, meaning three live wires instead of one. On a standard 11 kW three-phase charger the car fills overnight. Every Model X version has its own page here, alongside the rest of the Tesla EV chargers.
For the Tesla Model X 75D we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the Tesla Model X 75D?
The 75D charges at up to 16.5 kW, so a three-phase charger is the sensible starting point. An 11 kW model covers a full night without trouble, even with a battery this size. Want the last bit of speed? A charger from our 22 kW EV chargers lets the car draw its full 16.5 kW.
A seven-seat SUV puts more kilowatt-hours through a charger in a year than almost any other car on your street. That volume is the reason to look at the meter. A MID meter is a certified kWh meter built into the charger, and it counts the car separately from the rest of the house. Without one, a 72.5 kWh battery simply disappears into the household bill. At 11 kW only a small number of models has the meter built in. The widest choice of chargers with a MID meter sits in the 22 kW class.
A charger with load balancing watches what the rest of the house is using. When the fuse board gets busy, it lowers its own power automatically. The Model X is the case that makes this worth paying for: it holds a high current for seven hours at a stretch, night after night. Our EV chargers with dynamic load balancing handle that without any input from you.
A car this size usually lives on a driveway rather than at the kerb, which widens the choice of housing and mounting. Our home EV chargers page shows what that looks like in practice.
How long does the Tesla Model X 75D take to charge?
On an 11 kW charger a full charge from near empty takes about 7.5 hours. Plug in at eleven in the evening and the car is ready by morning. On a 22 kW charger the 75D draws its own maximum of 16.5 kW. A full charge then drops to roughly 5 hours. Both times include charging losses, so they run longer than battery size divided by charging power.
The Model X 75D has a Type 2 socket, like most modern chargers. At home you therefore charge through the charger's own cable. For charging away from home you need a separate type 2 charging cable.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Tesla Model X 75D need a three-phase supply?
For the full charging power, yes. On three phases the 75D reaches 16.5 kW, its fastest speed at home. A single-phase supply of 32 amps gives it 7.4 kW. At 16 amps that drops to 3.7 kW, and a full charge then takes most of a day.
How fast does the Tesla Model X 75D charge at home?
On an 11 kW charger a full charge takes about 7.5 hours. On a 22 kW charger the car reaches its own ceiling of 16.5 kW and needs roughly 5 hours. The car sets that limit, so a heavier charger adds nothing above it.
Is a MID meter worth it for the Tesla Model X 75D?
For most owners, yes. A seven-seat SUV sends a lot of kilowatt-hours through the charger over a year. A certified meter shows what those sessions cost, apart from your household use. Do check the specification: at 11 kW only a few models have the meter built in. Whichever you choose, we recommend a qualified electrician for the connection to your fuse board.
