Level 2: Using a 240v outlet (or most 3rd party EV stations) with the appropriate cables, will give you between 24-30 miles of charge per hour. To get the battery filled from 0% to 90%, or 270 miles it will take about 10 hours. Level 3: Using a Tesla Supercharger, it is possible to achieve a 0% to 80-90% battery fill up in 15-40 minutes, depending on the Supercharger station charging rate, either 72 kWh (fast), 150 kWh (faster) or 250 kWh (fastest). Other Level 3 stations do exist but require separate adapters and an account to use them with a Tesla.

When should I charge the battery to 100% capacity (299 mile range)?

Almost never! For normal daily driving purposes, please keep the battery charged from 30% to 90% of battery capacity. This is recommended by Tesla to ensure optimum battery life and performance. Only charge the battery to 100% capacity when driving road trips that require longer driving and adequate range to reach the next charging station. Additionally, never allow the battery charge to go to ZERO percent or stay at a critically low percentage. This can lead to permanent damage to the battery. Thank you for understanding.
