Where can I charge my Tesla in Ukraine?
In Ukraine, Tesla owners have several options for charging their electric vehicles, which differ significantly in speed and convenience. Typically, Tesla drivers use three main charging methods: at home, at public charging stations, and at work. There are also other options, such as free charging stations or workplace charging options. Here are all the charging options available:
1. Charging at home
Charging at home is the most convenient and common way for Tesla drivers. All you need to do is install a special home charging station (wall connector). This allows you to charge your car during the night or at any time convenient for you.
Charging at home typically takes 6 to 12 hours, depending on the power of the charging station and the battery capacity of your Tesla. This option is best suited for daily commuting, when you charge your car in the evening and have a fully charged car in the morning for new trips.
The advantages include the convenience of charging without having to leave home and no additional charging costs if you have your own charging station. However, it is not suitable for long journeys without pre-planning charging stations.
2. Public charging stations
In Ukraine, there are a large number of public charging stations that can be used to charge your Tesla. They are located in large cities, shopping centres, motorways and other high-traffic areas. Charging at such stations usually takes longer than at home, but it is a very convenient way to recharge an electric car if necessary.
Charging time depends on the power of the charger and can vary from a few minutes to several hours. Charging stations have different capacities, so it is important to pay attention to the type of charging they support. For example, standard charging stations (1.4 kW) take longer, while fast charging stations (50-250 kW) allow you to top up your charge in a shorter time.
You can use apps such as ECOFACTOR EV Charging, PlugShare or Zap-Map to find the nearest public charging stations. They help you find available charging points, their capacity, and give you the opportunity to read reviews from other users.
3. Charging at work
Some companies and organisations in Ukraine have already installed charging stations for electric cars, including Tesla, on their premises. If your employer supports electric cars, there is a chance that a charging station will be installed on the company's premises, and you will be able to recharge your car while working. This can be a very convenient option for those who spend a lot of time at work.
It also allows Tesla owners to charge their cars without the additional cost of charging at home or at public stations. However, such stations may be available only to company employees or may require a reservation.
4. Free charging stations
In some cities of Ukraine, you can find free charging stations for electric cars. These can be special stations on the territory of shopping malls, supermarkets, or other establishments that are interested in promoting eco-friendly transport. However, it is worth remembering that charging at such stations usually takes longer, as the capacity may be limited.
Charging can be free, which significantly reduces electricity costs, but due to the lower power, charging takes longer. It is also worth paying attention to the limited number of such stations.
5. Charging in hotels and restaurants
Some hotels and restaurants in Ukraine are also installing charging stations for electric cars, including Tesla. This allows you to charge your car while staying at the hotel or going to a restaurant. Charging usually costs the same price as regular charging at public stations, but it's a convenient option if you spend a lot of time away from home.
This option is especially convenient for travelling or long journeys, when you can charge your car while staying overnight at a hotel or while relaxing in a restaurant.
How to determine the charging time of a Tesla?
Before we look at the different Tesla models on the market and the average charging time for each, let's explain how we arrive at the charging time calculations. To determine the charging time of a Tesla or any other electric car, the basic formula used involves the battery capacity and the charger wattage.
The formula is as follows:
Charging time (hours) = Battery capacity (kWh) ÷ Charger power (kW)
This formula calculates charging time under ideal conditions and does not take into account variables such as charging efficiency, battery condition, charger type, and external conditions that may affect charging time.
In the following sections, we will apply this formula to each Tesla model, taking into account different charging speeds, to help drivers understand how long it will take to charge each Tesla model.
For a better understanding, here is the battery capacity of each Tesla model available on the market:
| Model. | Battery capacity (kWh) |
| Tesla Model S (Base Model) | 72.5 |
| Tesla Model S Plaid | 95.0 |
| Tesla Model S Long Range | 95.0 |
| Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus | 51.0 |
| Tesla Model 3 Long Range | 75.0 |
| Tesla Model 3 Performance | 75.0 |
| Tesla Model X (Base Model) | 72.5 |
| Tesla Model X Plaid | 95.0 |
| Tesla Model X Long Range | 95.0 |
| Tesla Model Y RWD | 60.5 |
| Tesla Model Y Long Range | 75.0 |
| Tesla Model Y Performance | 75.0 |
This table will help you understand the battery sizes of different Tesla models, which is an important factor in calculating charging times. Given the power of the charger, you can get an estimate of how long it will take to charge each model.
How long does it take to charge a Tesla Model S in Ukraine?
The Tesla Model S is a car that combines luxury, power and innovative technology. This model is available in several variants: Base, Long Range and Plaid, and each of them has its own characteristics in terms of range and charging time. Because the Tesla Model S has a large battery, charging times may vary depending on the charger's power and charging location.
In Ukraine, the availability of charging stations with different charging capacities may affect the time required to fully recharge. Here are the estimated charging times for each version of the Tesla Model S when using different types of charging stations.
| Charging type | Basic model | Model S Long Range | Model S Plaid |
| Charging from a home source (2.2-11 kW) | 27.8-45.5 hours (2.2 kW) / 9.1-10 hours (11 kW) | 27.8-45.5 hours (2.2 kW) / 9.1-10 hours (11 kW) | 27.8-45.5 hours (2.2 kW) / 9.1-10 hours (11 kW) |
| Charging at public stations (50 kW) | 2 hours | 2 hours | 2 hours |
| Charging at public stations (100 kW) | 1 hour | 1 hour | 1 hour |
| Charging at public stations (150 kW) | 40 minutes | 40 minutes | 40 minutes |
Note: There are currently no 250 kW Tesla charging stations in Ukraine, so this type of charging is not relevant to the Ukrainian context.
How long does it take to charge a Tesla Model 3 in Ukraine?
The Tesla Model 3 is one of Tesla's most popular models, combining efficiency and affordability. It is available in several variants: Standard Range Plus, Long Range, and Performance. This model has a smaller battery capacity compared to the Model S, so charging times may be shorter. However, it is worth considering that charging stations with a capacity of up to 100 kW prevail in Ukraine, which also affects charging time.
Below is the estimated charging time for Tesla Model 3 in Ukraine at different types of charging stations.
| Charging type | Standard Range Plus | Long Range | Performance |
| Charging from a home source (2.2-11 kW) | 22.7-41.7 hours (2.2 kW) / 4.5-5 hours (11 kW) | 55.8 hours | 53.6 hours |
| Charging at public stations (50 kW) | ~50 minutes (up to 80%) | 1.6 hours | 1.5 hours |
| Charging at public stations (100 kW) | ~25 minutes (up to 80%) | 47 minutes | 45 minutes |
