Tesla Model 3 for Company Cars
Updated March 2026
The Tesla Model 3 is one of the most popular company car choices in Europe, thanks to its long range, low running costs, and strong residual values. With 390 km of WLTP rated range, it handles commuting and business travel without breaking a sweat. Drivers tell us that the Supercharger network makes business trips noticeably less stressful than with other EVs.

- Range ratio
- 8.6x daily need
Why the Tesla Model 3?
- 390 km WLTP rated range covers weekly commuting on a single charge for most employees
- Access to the Tesla Supercharger network plus CCS2 compatibility at all public chargers
- Plug & Charge at Superchargers means no apps, cards, or accounts needed to start charging
- Low 147 Wh/km consumption keeps running costs well below equivalent petrol sedans
Key Specifications
| Battery (useable) | 57.5 kWh |
| WLTP range | 513 km |
| Consumption | 147 Wh/km |
| Max DC charging | 175 kW |
| DC charge (10-80%) | ~23 min |
| AC full charge (11 kW) | ~5.2 h |
Charging Strategy for Company Cars
Most employees charge at home overnight on an 11 kW wallbox. A full charge takes about 5-6 hours. With 390 km range and a typical 60 km daily commute, charging once or twice a week is enough. For business trips, the Supercharger network offers 175 kW DC charging, adding about 200 km in 15 minutes. The car preconditions the battery automatically when you navigate to a Supercharger.
Overnight AC charging (recommended)
Plugging in at a depot or home charger (7-22 kW) overnight fully replenishes the battery. At 11 kW, the Tesla Model 3 charges from empty in approximately 5.2 hours, easily done overnight.
Mid-day DC top-up
If overnight charging is not available, a DC fast charge during a break can add enough range. At 175 kW peak, the Tesla Model 3 charges from 10% to 80% in roughly 23 minutes.

Based on 60 km/day, 22 working days/month. EV: 147 Wh/km at EUR 0.12/kWh (home charging). ICE: 7 L/100 km at EUR 1.70/L.
Practical Tips
- The Model 3 RWD has an LFP battery. Unlike most EVs, it can be charged to 100% daily without accelerating battery degradation.
- Set up home charging reimbursement early. Most employees will rarely use public chargers for daily commuting.
- Plug & Charge works at Superchargers automatically. For other CCS2 networks, employees need a charging card or app.
- Enable scheduled charging at home to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates where available.
Operational Notes
The 390 km WLTP rated range is more than six times the typical 60 km daily commute. Range is a non-issue for company car use. The LFP battery in the RWD variant can be charged to 100% daily without concern for battery degradation, unlike NMC batteries. This is a genuine advantage for employees who prefer to always have maximum range available.
