The average off-peak price per kilowatt hour (kWh) on the Tesla Supercharger network is 54p, but that can vary depending on the location. This means it can cost around £13 to add 100 miles of range to a Tesla, working out at 13p per mile – depending on the model you go for. Chargers from third parties and not in the Supercharger network will have varying costs per kilowatt hour.

By comparison, it can cost upwards of 15-20p per mile to fuel a typical petrol or diesel car, depending on the make, model and engine size. Charging a Tesla at home will normally be far cheaper than using the Supercharger network. Check with your energy provider to see what EV-tariffs they offer.

Using one of more than 1,400 Tesla Superchargers available across the UK, it will take 15-20 minutes to reach 80% charge. Depending on the charger you use at home and the model, charging a Tesla will normally take 8-10 hours.

Tesla says its car batteries can last between 300,000 and 500,000 miles, or 1,500 charges. The Model 3 Long Range can cover over 350 miles on a single charge.

Tesla cars are built across three continents. The factory in California was the manufacturer's first, but there are now several factories across the USA as well as one in Germany and one in China.

Due to their powerful and long-lasting batteries, Tesla cars have a curb weight of between 1.7 tonnes and 2.4 tonnes, depending on the model. The Model 3 Standard Range Plus is the lightest while the Model X Plaid is the heaviest. The Model Y weighs around 1.9 tonnes and can cover up to 331 miles on a single charge.
