how long does it take for a tesla to charge

Mitchell recently completed a trip between Colorado and Kansas, traveling 516 miles on a single charge before getting to 10 percent battery remaining. “Similar things have been tried before but there’s always been downhill sections and that’s not what we want to do,” he said.

It will take about 24 to 28 hours, but the slower speeds conserve battery power. The duo started at the Denver Supercharger station near the airport and are driving a loop on nearby roads at 25 to 35 miles per hour. To hit the 600-mile mark, this won’t be a normal road trip. Boulder-based Wunder Capital, which funds solar energy projects, is sponsoring the effort with “several thousand dollars” to cover expenses and the record submission, said Ilyas Frenkel, a Wunder spokesman. According to Guinness, a modified electric BMW did hit 1,000 miles on a single charge, but the Denver Tesla is a regular production vehicle and no record has yet been set, Strait said.

Strait documented the whole trip ( streaming live on YouTube at dpo.st/teslarecord), as per the guidance from the Guinness World Records.
