What Is The Tesla Model Y’s Charger Type?


The Tesla Model Y can charge up to 11 kW with AC charging and 210 kW with DC charging. They have used the standard European connector types ever since November 2018.

Their AC connector is the Type 2 connector, often called Mennekes, after the German manufacturer that designed them. They are the most used AC connector in the world and can be found at home, work, and some public charging stations, although not all public charging networks supply AC charging. 

The Tesla Model Y uses the CCS connector for DC charging. This is the most popular DC charger globally and can be used mainly at public charging stations in the UK. The Type 2 and CCS connectors are combined into the CCS 2 connector, which you use to charge your Model Y.
