MerchHow to charge the Tesla Model Y
How to charge the Tesla Model Y is one of the first questions anyone looking to buy, or who already owns this electric vehicle have on their minds. Fortunately, we’ve rounded up all of the information you need to not only make an informed choice if you’re still unsure about making the switch to electric, but also to help if you’ve just got your new car home and you’re now unsure what to do next.
How to charge the Tesla Model Y at home?
As with any EV, you can charge the Tesla Model Y at home using a home charger like zappi which allows you to use energy from the grid or your home solar panels for an even more sustainable charge. Some energy companies also offer flexible tariffs which allow you to save even more money by charging your vehicle during off-peak times.
By using the myenergi app, along with the smart technology of zappi to charge the Tesla Model Y at home in the most affordable and convenient manner. This means you could plug your EV in when you get home from work, but choose to have it charging whilst you’re asleep and the tarrif is the most affordable.
In terms of practicality, charging the Tesla Model Y is easy! Simply choose “open charge port” on your vehicles touch screen, press the bottom of the charge port when the vehicle is unlocked or even use a voice command. The charge port (located on the left side of Model Y, behind a door that is part of the rear tail light) will then open allowing you to insert the charging cable.
Making the switch to EV has never been easier!
With the number of electric vehicles sold in Ireland up 45% in 2023 compared to 2022, owning an EV just keeps getting easier. Thanks to the number of EVs on the road, and the demand for cleaner driving from the public, there are now grants and incentives to help with the purchase of a new EV.
Unlike driving a petrol or diesel car, when the Tesla Model Y needs a charge it can be done at home using a home EV charger. Which means your car will always be charged when you need it.
How much does it cost to charge the Tesla Model Y?
When it comes to charging your Tesla Model Y at home, this will entirely depend on your energy tariff, although you can expect to pay around €32. This is based on an average cost in Ireland without using any solar power and will vary depending on your tariff.
You can also use public chargers or the Tesla superchargers, although these will cost you more than charging at home. On average, public chargers cost around 50 cents per kWh compared to 36 cents per kWh at home.
Is it safe to charge my EV at home?
Charging your electric vehicle at home is safe and convenient. There are some rules which you need to ensure you’re following such as not charging the vehicle in an enclosed space like a garage or around any combustion gasses or open flames.
Make sure you always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and choose a reputable home charger which has been approved by the manufacturer. Choosing a charger like zappi, which has been tested and trusted by thousands of users worldwide, helps ensure safe home charging.
What is the range of a Tesla Model Y?
When it comes to long-range electric vehicles, Tesla still dominates the marketplace. With up to 533km on a single charge, it’s easy to see why this is one of the most popular electric vehicles sold in Ireland in 2023 making up 8.9% of EV sales between January and October 2023.
However, as with any electric vehicle, it is important to note that the range of the vehicle is dependent on many factors including where you’re driving and even the weather. The Electric Vehicle Database puts the average range at around 350km and of course, this will also depend on the version of the Model Y.
With prices starting at around €43,000, if you’re looking for an even longer driving range you might need to upgrade to one of the more expensive versions of the Model Y like the Model Y Performance which starts at around €56,000.
