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



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.

## Assumptions

- 50 km daily and eight hours at home. A socket limited to 2.3 kW with illustrative 85% efficiency (15% losses).

- Illustrative single-phase 40 A supply and 0.5 kW household load throughout the window; availability and safety have not been verified.

- European Model Y (2020–2024), 75 kWh usable battery and 17.7 kWh/100 km battery-side consumption: editable example values, not guaranteed consumption.

- Charging every night with no extra long trip. Initial charge 50%, target 80%, reserve 20%. Electricity uses the site’s pinned night-tariff example.

- Monthly cost uses 365.25 / 12 days and €0.0923/kWh night electricity. The rate is a pinned example, not a new quote. The stated time restores daily use, not an empty battery.

## Consumption: catalogue and owners

Two different measurement bases · 2026-10-12

| Item | Value |
| --- | --- |
| This scenario · battery | 17.7 kWh/100 km |
| Tesla WLTP · from the wall | 16.4 kWh/100 km |
| Mean of collected owner reports | 17.7 kWh/100 km |

WLTP includes charging losses; in-car reports measure battery energy. They are not directly comparable. Owner reports are a convenience sample, not representative statistics.

2020–2024 · Long Range / Performance · 5 reports. Winter, speed, tyres and route can change consumption.

## 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.
