Start with the market version. UAE and GCC Tesla Model Y vehicles use the Type 2 and CCS2 charging ecosystem documented by Tesla UAE. A US-imported Model Y uses NACS and must be treated as a different charging case.
UAE/GCC and US import
| Version | AC | DC | Reviewed AC reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| UAE/GCC | Type 2 | CCS2 | Up to 7.4 kW single-phase or 11 kW three-phase |
| US RWD reference | NACS | NACS | About 7.7 kW at 32 A |
| US 48 A service reference | NACS | NACS | About 11.5 kW; trim and year dependent |
The US figures are references for the named configurations, not a promise for every imported Model Y. Confirm the VIN, model year and charging screen.
Can I install a 22 kW wallbox?
You can install compatible equipment if the property design allows it, but the car draws only its onboard AC limit. A 22 kW label does not turn an 11 kW vehicle into a 22 kW vehicle.
Adapter rule for US imports
Do not choose an adapter from connector names alone. Confirm the charging direction, AC or DC use, vehicle software and the adapter documentation. A physical fit is not proof of supported charging.
Installation check
- Confirm GCC or US market version.
- Check single-phase or three-phase supply and available load.
- Measure the full cable route and required civil work.
- Select protection and isolation from the final electrical design.
Build the itemised estimate in the MEV installation planner.
