Incorporated in 2003, Tesla began its journey with a vision to disrupt the automobile sector with power-efficient electric vehicles that could also go fast. It showcased the potential of an EV with its road-legal Roadster, released in 2008, and since then the company has come a long way.

From humble beginnings, Tesla has grown into the EV market leader and has now started concentrating on making high-mobility, long-distance electric pick-up trucks, and semi-trucks. The company showcased a prototype of its upcoming Cybertruck, which though was dubbed as a mere marketing stunt by many, was loved by quite a few.

To make electric vehicles cost-efficient and have a sustainable energy ecosystem, Tesla also offers a power wall, power pack, and solar roofs for homeowners and utilities to generate and store energy.

One of the most crucial aspect that any buyer would look for when buying an electric vehicle is the battery backup, charging facilities, and how long the car takes to charge from 0 to 100. To enhance the driving experience, Tesla offers Supercharging stations in 31 countries around the globe with a total of 1,870 charging stations that offer 16,585 chargers. The company also ships three-phase 32A to 42A mobile connectors as an add-on accessory.

If you’re worried about how long your breaks might be when charging your Tesla midway at one of the supercharging stations or at home, here is how long it takes to charge Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X.

Broadly, it can take anywhere between 80 minutes to 24 hours to charge your Tesla EV completely, depending on the type of charge being used. Below are the charging times for each Tesla model alongwith varying charging times. .
