80% of all Tesla charging happens at home. It's cheaper, easier and more convenient than finding a public charger. Here is the complete guide to setting up home charging.
Your three options for home charging
You can charge your Tesla at home in three ways:
- Standard plug (Schuko/Type G) – 1.8 kW – slow but works
- Tesla Mobile Connector – Up to 11 kW with adapter – included
- Tesla Wall Connector – Up to 22 kW – the recommended solution
Tesla Wall Connector – hurtig hjemmeladning
Tesla Supercharger – til de lange ture
Tesla-appen – styr ladning og skemaer fra din telefon
Tesla Wall Connector – the right solution
The Tesla Wall Connector is the recommended home charger:
- Up to 22 kW (three-phase) or 11 kW (single-phase)
- Adds 50–80 km of range per hour
- Model Y is fully charged overnight in 6–8 hours
- WiFi connected – controllable via the Tesla app
- Price: approx. €400–€500 for the unit
- Installation: approx. €300–€600 depending on existing wiring
What does home charging cost?
At an average electricity price of €0.25/kWh:
- 100 km costs approx. €0.43
- 15,000 km per year costs approx. €638

Smart charging habits
