Charging Your Tesla Model Y at Home in Perth
The Tesla Model Y was Australia's best-selling electric vehicle in 2025 — with over 22,000 sold — and it offers a significant home charging advantage over most EVs: it accepts up to 11 kW on three-phase AC. For the majority of Perth homeowners with standard single-phase power, a 7.4 kW wallbox will charge the Long Range's 75 kWh battery from flat in around 11 hours. But three-phase homes unlock the Model Y's faster 11 kW input — fully charged in 7 hours. Sparky Local handles home EV charging installations across Southern Perth for Tesla and all other brands.

Common Questions
Should I get the Tesla Wall Connector or a universal charger for my Model Y?
Both charge at the same speed (7.4 kW single-phase or 11 kW three-phase). The Tesla Wall Connector has native app integration, power sharing for multi-Tesla households, and a premium look. Universal chargers like the Zappi or Fronius Wattpilot offer better solar integration. If you prioritise solar charging, go Zappi or Fronius — if native Tesla ecosystem matters most, go Wall Connector.
Does my home need three-phase for the Model Y?
No — single-phase 7.4 kW is completely fine for most Perth drivers. The Model Y Long Range on 7.4 kW adds roughly 45 km of range per hour. Unless you're regularly depleting the full battery and need a fast overnight top-up, single-phase is more than adequate and significantly cheaper to install.
Can I charge my Model Y from solar panels?
Yes — the Zappi charger's Eco+ mode automatically charges your Model Y from solar excess. Set it up alongside your solar system and your daily commute becomes effectively free. We configure this during installation.
