Tesla Cybertruck: Home Charging Time and Cost

A big battery on a normal 48-amp home limit means a full charger matters. Here is the time, the cost, and the NACS charger to use.

The Tesla Cybertruck charges at home at up to 11.5 kW (48 amps) - a normal ceiling - but on a large ~123 kWh battery, so a full 48-amp charger is worth having. It has a NACS port, so the Tesla Wall Connector is the natural fit.

How long it takes and what it costs

At 48 amps the Cybertruck adds roughly 25 miles of range per hour; a 10-to-80-percent top-up (~86 kWh) runs about 7.5 hours - an overnight charge. Cost for that top-up is about $15 at the US average rate; run your own below.

Put in your electricity rate, your battery size and your car's efficiency. The math is the same one shown above, with a 10% charging loss included so the number is realistic.

Estimate only. Actual cost depends on your exact utility rate (including any time-of-use pricing and fees), your car's real efficiency, temperature, and charging losses. Check your electric bill for your true rate.

Connector and charger

With a NACS port, the Tesla Wall Connector hardwires at the full 48 amps and is the clean choice. Any J1772 charger also works with the included adapter or a J1772-to-NACS adapter, useful for a smart charger Tesla does not make.

Questions

Frequently asked

What charger does a Cybertruck use at home?

It accepts up to 48 amps (11.5 kW) and has a NACS port, so the Tesla Wall Connector hardwired at 48 amps is the natural fit. Any J1772 Level 2 charger works too, via the included or a third-party J1772-to-NACS adapter.

How long does a Cybertruck take to charge at home?

About 7.5 hours for a 10-to-80-percent overnight top-up at 48 amps, adding roughly 25 miles of range per hour. The large battery is why a full 48-amp charger is worth it.
