The Tesla Model S 100D needs a Mennekes type 2 plug and the car has a maximum AC charging capacity of 16.5 kW. This means that your car with a wallbox at home will never charge faster than that. In addition, the car has an usable battery capacity of 95 kWh.

Of course, it is also possible that you do not want to use a wallbox but a mobile wallbox or a wallbox with a lower charging capacity. That is why you will find here all the important charging information about the Tesla Model S 100D.

EV charging cable for Tesla Model S 100D

The Tesla Model S 100D has a mennekes connection, so it requires a type 2 ev charging cable. The car has a 3-phase 22 kW charging capacity. It is therefore only possible to use a phase 3 ev charging cable of 22 or 22 KW if you charge 22 kW.

EV Charger for Tesla Model S 100D

The electric Tesla Model S 100D has a maximum charging power of 22 kW with an usable battery capacity of 64.7 kWh. This means that charging via a EV Charger is advisable. A number of things are useful to know for this. A EV Charger with a heavier charging capacity will not charge more than the maximum load capacity of your car, but it can't hurt either. A EV Charger with a lighter power is also possible and can be useful, for example, when the fuse box is not suitable for heavy charging. The EV Charger will never charge heavier than what it is made for. EV Chargers have 4 charging capacities, provided that these cannot be adjusted yourself:

3.7 kW EV Charger (1 phase of 16A): will charge a maximum of 3.7 kW for this car.
7.4 kW EV Charger (1 phase of 32A): will charge a maximum of 3.7 kW for this car.
22 kW EV Charger (3 phases of 16A): will charge a maximum of 22 kW for this car.
22 kW EV Charger (3 phases of 32A) : will charge a maximum of 22 kW for this car

Fuse box connection for the EV Charger
Choosing the best EV Charger for your Tesla Model S 100D depends not only on the possibilities of the car but also for a large part of the fuse box connection. Especially whether you have a 1 or 3 phase connection at home or at work. The Tesla Model S 100D can charge on 3 phases and can therefore load the maximum charging capacity (if it is at least 3 x 16A). If you don’t have a 3 phase connection yet, but you will get it in the future. You can still buy a 3 phase EV Charger and just connect 1 phase so you can still charge your car in the meantime.

If you have a 1 phase connection, you cannot charge the maximum charging capacity of 22 kW, you will always only charge a maximum of 3.7 kW regardless of the power of the EV Charger. You can also read this article from us with more information about the connection in your fuse box.

Mobile EV Charger for Tesla Model S 100D

With a mobile EV Charger (also called portable ev charger), you can charge your hybrid or electric car through a normal socket at home. So is the Tesla Model S 100D. Sockets at home have a power of about 220 volt, depending on your country. A mobile EV Charger is equipped in such a way that it can be connected to that power grid.

For your Tesla Model S 100D you need to have a Type 2 mobile EV Charger. Of course, charging at home via the socket is less fast, but it can certainly be sufficient for hybrid or electric cars with a smaller battery. A mobile EV Charger can usually charge 2.3 or 3.7 kW  (10 or 16A). Due to the high battery capacity of the Tesla Model S 100D, we recommend using a portable ev charger mainly as a backup or as an emergency solution.
