The Tesla Cybertruck is the most ambitious — and most talked-about — EV we charge in the Bay Area. With a 123 kWh battery, it needs a well-planned home charging setup. ChargeWizards has installed chargers for Cybertruck owners across San Mateo County and the Peninsula.

Installation Notes for Tesla Cybertruck

The Cybertruck's 11.5 kW onboard charger is the same as other Tesla models — a 50A circuit is the standard recommendation. However, because the battery is 123 kWh, we recommend sizing up to a 60A breaker (72A max via #4 AWG) if your panel allows — this future-proofs the install and may marginally improve recovery speed.

With a 123 kWh battery, even at 11.5 kW you're looking at 11–12 hours for a full charge. Most Cybertruck owners charge nightly and rarely let it drop below 20%.
- →
The Cybertruck is heavy and may require a garage that can support it. Check your garage floor load rating — most residential concrete slabs handle it fine.
- →
For 100A panel homes, the Cybertruck's large battery makes DPM critical. Without it, charging may trip your main breaker when HVAC and other loads are running simultaneously.
- →
Tesla's Wall Connector power sharing supports up to 4 units on a single circuit — if you have a multi-Tesla household, this is a cost-effective way to add Cybertruck charging without adding another circuit.
