A British house has one phase, so 7.4 kW is the figure that applies on your driveway and the 32A single phase cable delivers all of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe battery decides how long, not how fast. A Rear-Wheel Drive car is around 57 kWh usable and a Long Range around 75, so the gap between them is roughly two and a half hours on the same cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe port is on the kerb side, not the driver side\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTesla's own manual puts it plainly: the charge port is on the left side of the car, behind a door that forms part of the rear tail light assembly. On a UK right hand drive Model 3 that is the nearside, the kerb side, and it does not swap when the steering wheel does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat matters for length. Reverse onto a drive with the wall box on the nearside and 5 metres reaches easily. Park nose in, or charge at the kerb from a box on the house wall, and the lead travels the length of the car, which is a 10 metre job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 57 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 75 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 32A single phase at home\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 16A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, three phase at 11 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.0 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 38 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin from a socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHours come from dividing the pack by the power the car actually draws, with 13 per cent added for losses. Tesla does not publish battery capacities, so the kWh figures here are independent estimates and the times are close rather than exact. Range is up to 319 miles WLTP on the Rear-Wheel Drive and 421 on the Long Range. The range column is deliberately cautious, at 3.5 miles per kWh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow these cables are built\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a CE marked IEC 62196-2 cable, IP55 against the weather, rated to work between -30C and +50C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree pin construction follows IEC 62752, CE marked, IP67 rated, usable from -30C to +60C.
