For Model S

What type of charging plug does Tesla use?

A Tesla charging cable is one of the essential accessories that you can purchase for your electric vehicle. The cable connects your Tesla to charging stations that use Type 2 plugs. It is also lighter and easier to use than other cables. Made in Germany, the cable is flexible even in cold temperatures. It’s also universal, meaning it will work with any electric vehicle. Make sure to select the cable that has the same plug type as your car.

If you’re concerned about length, you can purchase a Tesla 30-foot charging extension cable to reach locations up to 50 feet away. It comes with four UL-certified charging adapters and is compatible with virtually all power sources. This cable usually ships the next business day. The company also ships internationally, in North America. You can also buy the cable with the 16A plug for a lighter weight. If you need more power, you can also order the 32A cable, which has a 23-foot cable.

While it’s a nifty addition to your Tesla, the mobile charging adapter isn’t included with the car. Instead, you can purchase it separately for around $400. You can also buy a cable with the Gen 2 plug, which will be necessary if you want to charge your car at home. It’s important to note that these adapters are not standard. It would help if you considered getting a USB charging cable for your Tesla from home. If you purchase this cable, ask the retailer about the compatibility of the plug type.
