Model Y from a socket: is one night enough for 50 km a day?

50 km/day · 8 hours to charge · 7 nights/week

The answer with these values

2.3 kW covers this driving pattern

Driving needs estimate. Available household power and the installation need a separate check.

At 50 km/day, a 2.3 kW socket restores daily driving in about 4.5 hours, within an eight-hour night. Electricity is about €29/month at the pinned night rate. Also check the time from 50% to 80%; filling that battery interval is a different task from replacing the day’s driving.

What could change the answer?

This is an energy calculation, not an installation assessment. An electrician must verify the socket, circuit, protections and available capacity for sustained charging. Cold weather, higher consumption, other appliances or a missed night can change the answer. Losses are assumed; the monthly cost covers electricity only.
