Best Home Charger for the Tesla Model Y

By LarryLeo · Updated October 4, 2026 · Based on manufacturer specs, not hands-on testing

Short answer

A 48-amp NACS wall charger on a 60-amp circuit, or a 40-amp unit on a 50-amp circuit.

Charge port	NACS (Tesla) port
Onboard AC charger	About 11.5 kW AC (up to 48 amps) on recent model years

What to look for

A NACS-plug charger avoids needing an adapter every day.
If you might switch to a J1772 car later, a J1772 charger plus a Tesla adapter also works.
A 40-amp setup still adds roughly 30 miles of range per hour, which is plenty overnight for most drivers.
