Since 2021 Tesla’s releases of the Model Y model have been a consistent competitor in the EV market not just in the UK but across Europe. Show
What cable do I need for an Tesla Model Y?Like every other Tesla that is available on the UK market, the Model Y EV uses a Type 2 – Type 2 connection. The Model Y’s onboard charger can handle a maximum charge rate of 11kW. This means that our three-phase cables will be fully compatible with the Tesla Model Y EV, reaching the fastest charging rate on public charging units. Single-phase cables will also be compatible with the Tesla Model Y, however, they will charge at the lower rate of 7.4kW. Depending on your situation, you may need to consider purchasing a cable with an increased length. Fortunately, at EVwired we offer 7 metre and 10 metre cables alongside the more frequently seen 5 metre cables. Three-phase options are available at each length. Tesla Model Y charging speed and rangeAs a fully electric vehicle, the battery for the Tesla Model Y EV will get you a range of 315 miles, a respectable range on a full charge. Charging times are an important consideration for any EV driver. Depending on your charge box set up an EVwired cable will take between 7 hours to fully charge your vehicle, which makes overnight top-ups ideal and easy. The wide availability of three-phase public charging stations means that you will never be caught short. Why purchase an EVwired cable?Each cable is made from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), which is hard wearing and remarkably weather resistant, in both hot and cold climates. Our cables also boast an IP55 rating, which means they are well protected against dust and almost unaffected by water. Can the cable still be used in the rain? Yes! So there is no need to panic if your cable gets caught outside or if the weather turns when you’re out and about. Each purchase comes with a high-quality EVwired carry bag which makes it easy to transport our cables during the school/work run and beyond. As the number of charging points up and down the UK increases, stopping for a top-up has never been easier, better yet our cables can be used at any Type 2 public charge point or home charge point. Do not worry though! No matter which of our cables you choose to use, the Tesla onboard charger will automatically charge at the rate determined by the cable and the charging station. At EVwired we have great confidence in the cables that we offer – and to give you peace of mind – each cable purchase comes with a 5-year warranty. Our UK based support is ready to help with any queries or questions that you may have. Free shipping is included with every order, and those placed before 3 pm will be dispatched on a next business day courier service.

Does the Tesla come with a charging cable?If you buy a new Tesla, don't be surprised if you find it has slightly more trunk space than you were expecting. The reason is down to an equally surprising discovery that the company no longer includes a charging cable as part of its cars' standard specification.
