AC vs DC charging

AC (home/destination) chargers go through your car's onboard converter, which limits speed. DC fast chargers bypass this and charge the battery directly at much higher rates.

Charging losses

Not all electricity from the wall reaches the battery. AC charging is typically 85–90% efficient; DC fast charging 92–95%. Costs above include these losses.

Why 80% is the sweet spot

Tesla recommends charging to 80% daily. Above 80%, the charge rate slows significantly to protect the battery — the last 20% takes almost as long as 0–80%.
