Three versions, three ports
| Where the car is from | Fast-charging port | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Europe and the Middle East | CCS2 | Charges directly on CCS2 chargers. |
| Chinese market | GB/T | Charges directly on GB/T chargers. |
| North America | Tesla port (NACS) | Needs a compatible adapter, and not every adapter works with every charger. |
If you bought your car used, ask which country it came from, or simply look at the port. The US Tesla port is small with a distinctive shape, CCS2 is one port in two parts, and GB/T is two separate ports.
Preconditioning the battery
Teslas charge fastest when the battery is at the right temperature. The car preconditions the battery automatically when you navigate to a Supercharger, and for other chargers, recent software versions let you precondition manually from the charging menu. Turn it on about 15 to 20 minutes before you arrive, especially in winter.
How long does a Model 3 or Model Y take?
Teslas usually accept high fast-charging power, but on any public charger the actual power is limited by that charger's maximum. Maximum power at our station: Awaiting confirmation: maximum charging power (kW). To estimate the time, use the formula in the charging time guide.
About adapters
If your car is a US-specification model, do not use an adapter of unknown origin for fast charging. The current is high, and an incompatible adapter may not start the charge or may overheat. Buy a certified adapter and ask about compatibility with the charger before you come. Call us on +962 79 738 3966 and we will tell you what we know about compatibility with our chargers.
LFP or NMC battery?
Some rear-wheel-drive Model 3 and Model Y versions use an LFP battery, and Tesla recommends setting their charge limit to 100%. Other versions use NMC batteries, and the recommendation for them is 80% to 90% for daily use. You will find the recommendation on your car's charging screen.
