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.
