How long does it take to charge a Tesla Model X?
My dad has a Tesla Model X and is letting me borrow it. I’m taking it on a longer trip and need to plan how long my stops will be. What’s the average time it takes to charge a Tesla Model X?

That’s nice of your dad! Since Teslas require periodic charging, it’s great you’re taking the time to plan your route.
On average, the time a
Tesla Model X
takes to charge is anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours. That said, the amount of time a Tesla takes depends on the type of charger you use and the distance you’ll be driving. On the road, there are three types of chargers you can use:- Destination Charging
- Supercharger
- Third-party charging
The fastest and most efficient way to charge a Tesla is with a Supercharger. A Supercharger charges a Tesla for 200 miles in 15 minutes.
If you can’t find a Supercharger location, you can use the Destination Charging network or a third-party charging station. A Destination Charging location uses a Wall Connector for charging, so you’ll get 44 miles per hour charged. A third-party location uses a Tesla’s Mobile Connector, which gives you two to three miles per hour charged.
Since you’re planning a longer trip in your dad’s car, ensure you have coverage under his
car insurance
policy. Should your dad be looking for different coverage or a more affordable policy, suggest he use the Jerry
app. Jerry is a licensed broker that gathers quotes from over 50 top insurance providers, including Nationwide and Travelers, in seconds for free. The average Jerry user saves $879 a year.
