Shopping around for a Tesla EV charger? If you are looking at options other than what’s on offer from Tesla, it’s worth checking out the Plusrite Australia range. Our EV chargers are fully-compatible with all models and variants of Tesla’s electric vehicles (including all current and discontinued models) and come in single, three-phase and portable options.
This blog provides a valuable summary of need-to-know specifications for charging your Tesla. We will also discuss and suggest options from the Plusrite range which may suit your lifestyle and requirements, with the compatibility specifics you need to make an informed decision.
All Tesla electric vehicles released in Australia to date feature a CCS Combo 2 (CCS2) charge port, as standard across the range. This includes Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X and the Cybertruck. The CCS2 connector combines the TYPE 2 AC plug (which supports regular single and three-phase AC charging) and additional DC pins for ‘rapid-charging’ at public charging stations.
All Plusrite Australia EV chargers feature a TYPE 2 AC charge plug for use across Australia. We offer both single and 3-phase charging options for at home, at work or on the move.
All are fully compatible with the entire range of Tesla electric vehicles released in Australia (all models, all years, all variants!).
Below is a summary of specifications for electric vehicles currently offered by Tesla in Australia, including all variants and the unique Cybertruck, which has just hit our shores this year. Charging specifications for the Model S and Model X (now discontinued in Australia) are also included below.

The above applies across all years and variants, for each model.
All Tesla electric vehicles released in Australia (all models, years and variants) have a single-phase AC charge rate maximum (vehicle onboard AC charging limit) of 7.4kW. Plusrite’s 240V 7.4kW Single Phase EV Charger has the power and 100% compatibility to safely and efficiently charge your Tesla at the 7.4kW maximum single-phase AC charge rate.
For the Tesla Model Y, this charger allows for a single-phase charge speed of up to 50 km range per hour when connected to a 32-amp circuit (i.e. a typical Australian home EV charger installation). This charger is perfect for overnight charging, typical daily errands and commutes and weekends away. Read more about the Plusrite Single Phase EV Charger.
Do you have 3-phase power at home or at your business? You can safely charge your Tesla even faster each time, by installing the 400V 22kW Plusrite AC 3-Phase EV Charger.
All Tesla electric vehicles released in Australia (all models, years and variants) have three-phase AC charging capability at a rate of 11kW. For the Tesla Model Y, a 22kW AC charger provides an increased charge speed of approximately 65-70 km range per hour (when connected to a 32-amp circuit as a typical home installation).

Future proof your investment
New EV releases are consistently featuring increased 3-phase capability up to 22kW, so consider a three-phase EV charger to futureproof your investment for future upgrades. This will also increase the value of your home and practicality of your EV charger installation.
If your work or lifestyle sees you charging on the move, our Tesla-compatible Plusrite Portable 22kW 3-Phase EV Charger is your best friend. Like our other charges, this charger has a TYPE 2 AC connection and is fully-compatible with all Tesla electric vehicles released in Australia (all models, years and variants), allowing you to plug in and charge anywhere there is 3-phase power.
This 3-phase charger has the versatility to be your main charger for home, work and travelling. It has a wall mount for its primary location, which it can be removed from and carried with you on the road. The Plusrite Portable 22kW 3-Phase EV Charger is also very useful if you have a commercial fleet of Teslas that require intermittent charging and frequent changeovers.
