Tesla Model X
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your Model X+−
The Tesla Model X has a Type 2 inlet and a three-phase 11kW onboard charger. The 22kW cable carries its full 11kW on three-phase chargers. A 7.4kW cable would cap it. On a single-phase home wallbox both cables charge at the same 7.4kW.
Which Tesla Model X versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Tesla Model X, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Tesla Model X 60D
- Tesla Model X 75D
- Tesla Model X 90D
- Tesla Model X AWD
- Tesla Model X 100D
- Tesla Model X P90D
Whichever Model X trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Tesla Model X.
The Tesla Model X is a large seven-seat electric SUV that has been on sale in the UK since 2016, with the current facelifted generation arriving from 2021. It carries a battery of around 95kWh usable and charges on AC through a Type 2 inlet. For home wallboxes and public AC chargers, the cable you bring is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead.
For fast DC rapid charging the Model X uses Tesla's Supercharger network or third-party CCS chargers, both of which supply their own tethered cable at up to around 250kW. You do not purchase a cable for Supercharger use. The Model X's onboard AC charger is rated at 11kW three-phase, which caps how quickly any AC cable can charge it.
Estimates based on battery size and charge power. Rapid (DC) times are for a 10 to 80% charge, the way manufacturers quote them. Real-world charging varies with temperature, battery state and the charger itself.
7.4 kW or 22 kW?
Which cable does
the Model X need?
The Model X's onboard AC charger accepts up to 11kW on three phases, but most UK homes deliver single-phase power only, capping the charging rate at 7.4kW at the wall. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the right choice for home charging: it delivers the full speed a standard home wallbox can provide without overspending on a 22kW cable that offers no speed advantage on a single-phase supply.
If you have a three-phase supply at home, or you make regular use of 22kW public AC chargers, a 22kW cable would allow the Model X to charge at its full 11kW AC rate. On a standard single-phase home setup the outcome is identical whichever cable rating you buy. The Model X is a large vehicle, so consider a 7m cable if your wallbox is positioned away from where the car typically parks.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the roughly 95kWh usable battery from empty costs around £7 on an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, or around £26 at a standard rate of around 27p. Given the size of the battery, choosing a favourable overnight EV tariff makes a meaningful difference to running costs over time. Public rapid charging is much more expensive per kWh. Check current tariffs before deciding on a charging setup.

Tesla Model X FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Tesla Model X charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Tesla Model X has a three-phase onboard charger, so with a 22kW cable and a three-phase supply it can charge at up to 11kW.
What length charging cable should I get?+−
5m suits most home and public charge points. Choose 7.5m or 10m if the charge point is far from your car's charging port or you park on the far side of a bay.
What charging cable does the Tesla Model X need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC charging. The Model X's onboard charger supports up to 11kW three-phase. On a standard UK single-phase home wallbox a 7.4kW cable gives you the full available speed. A 22kW cable is only beneficial with a three-phase supply or at 22kW public AC chargers.
Do I need a separate cable for Tesla Superchargers?+−
No. Superchargers and all public CCS DC rapid chargers have their own tethered cable attached to the unit. The Type 2 to Type 2 cable you purchase is for AC charging at home and public AC posts only. Simply pull up to a Supercharger and plug in without any additional equipment.
How long does the Tesla Model X take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW single-phase wallbox the roughly 95kWh battery takes around 13 hours from empty to full, comfortably covered by an overnight session. On a three-phase 11kW supply that reduces to around nine hours. DC rapid charging via Superchargers is dramatically faster and uses the charger's own cable.
What cable length is best for the Tesla Model X?+−
A 5m cable works for straightforward setups, but the Model X is a large SUV and driveway arrangements vary widely. If your wallbox is set further back from where the car sits, or the socket is on the far end of the car from the wallbox, a 7m or 10m lead is a practical investment to avoid stretching the cable.
