At the charger
How fast does the Tesla Model S charge?
Estimated 10–80% session times for the Model S AWD (MY26) (95 kWh useable), computed by PlugSphere from the battery size, the 11 kW onboard AC charger and a typical DC charging power of 140 kW.
| Charger | Effective power | 10–80% time | Range added per 10 min |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.4 kW AC | ~6.7 kW | ~9 h 59 min | ~7 km |
| 11 kW AC | ~9.9 kW | ~6 h 43 min | ~10 km |
| 22 kW AC | ~9.9 kW | ~6 h 43 min | ~10 km |
| 50 kW DC | ~50 kW | ~80 min | ~52 km |
| 150 kW DC | ~140 kW | ~29 min | ~145 km |
| 350 kW DC | ~140 kW | ~29 min | ~145 km |
Method: 10–80% covers 70% of the useable battery; AC assumes ~90% charging efficiency; DC assumes the session averages the car's typical charging power up to the charger's limit. Real sessions vary with temperature and battery state.

The details
Tesla Model S specifications
Tesla Model S — common questions
Answers computed from this model's data in the PlugSphere database.
Does the Tesla Model S have a heat pump?
Yes — a heat pump is available, which helps protect driving range in cold weather.
Can the Tesla Model S tow?
Yes — a towbar is approved with a braked rating of 1,600 kg.
Can it power external devices (V2L)?
No — vehicle-to-load is not supported on this model.
What battery does the Tesla Model S use?
The reference variant uses a NCA pack with 95 kWh of useable capacity.
Which public chargers can the Tesla Model S use?
The Tesla Model S charges via Type 2 CCS. On the PlugSphere map that matches 144,123 stations worldwide, of which 38,056 offer 50 kW+ DC fast charging.
How much does it cost to fully charge a Tesla Model S?
With its 95 kWh useable battery, a full charge costs about €28.50 at a €0.30/kWh home tariff or roughly €57.00 at a €0.60/kWh public DC charger — before any session or idle fees. Put your own local price into the PlugSphere charging-cost calculator for an exact figure per country and per session.
How long will I be waiting at a charger with a Tesla Model S?
Plan around 29 minutes for the usual 10–80% stop at a 150 kW charger — the Tesla Model S sustains roughly 140 kW in a DC session. On AC, a full overnight charge at 11 kW takes about 9 hours. The charging-time calculator covers any charger power and state of charge.
How long does the Tesla Model S battery last?
Expect the pack to outlast its industry-standard warranty of 8 years or 160,000 km to at least 70% capacity: fleet telemetry shows EV batteries losing only around 1.8–2% a year on average. The Model S uses NCA chemistry — keep daily charging near 80% to age it gently.
How much does a Tesla Model S battery replacement cost?
Out of warranty, a 95 kWh pack costs roughly €9,500–€17,100 at 2026 pack-level prices of €100–180 per kWh, plus labour. Inside the 8-year battery warranty a failing pack is replaced free, and single-module repairs are often a fraction of the full price.
Should I charge the Tesla Model S to 100% every night?
Daily 80% is the kinder habit for this model (NCA chemistry) — reserve 100% charges for long-trip days. Only LFP-battery EVs are designed for routine full charging.
Where should I stop on a long Tesla Model S trip — and what is plan B?
The PlugSphere route planner spaces stops for the Tesla Model S's real range (segments of roughly 472 km with a 90% start and 10% reserve) and picks stations along the actual road route — each suggested stop comes with two nearby backup chargers in case the first is busy or offline.
