770 km/h The “Tesla Model 3 RWD (Highland CATL LFP64)” is a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) version of the updated “Highland” Model 3, which uses a CATL LFP64 battery. LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries, provided by CATL, are known for their longer lifespan and better safety compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, though they may have lower energy density and slower charging. The “Highland” designation refers to Tesla’s refresh of the Model 3, featuring updated exterior and interior design, improved aerodynamics, and increased range, with the specific “LFP64” likely referring to a particular configuration or capacity of the LFP battery used in this model.
CATL LFP Battery:
The “CATL LFP64” signifies the use of a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery, a technology that is safer, more durable, and generally more cost-effective than other lithium-ion chemistries. LFP batteries are known for their inherent safety and longer cycle life, meaning they can withstand more charge and discharge cycles over time.

Home & Destination Charging (0 → 100%)
Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Tesla Model 3 RWD. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full. Charging in Europe varies by country (some are primarily 1-phase, others 3-phase).
| Europe — Type 2 (Mennekes IEC 62196) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Power | Time (0→100%) | Rate |
| Wall Plug (230 V / 1×10 A) | 2.3 kW | 2.3 kW | 31 h | 14 km/h |

Fast Charging (10 → 80%)
Connector: Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2). Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after ~80% state-of-charge; typical rapid sessions end at or before 80%.
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Average Power | Time (10→80%) | Rate |

1-Stop Range Definition ⚡
For vehicles without fast-charging capability, only the distance of the first stop is considered.
🚗 Driving Profile
- Begin with a fully charged battery
- Stop 1: Drive until the battery reaches 10% state-of-charge (SoC)
- Perform a 15-minute fast charge
- Stop 2: Continue driving until the battery again reaches 10% SoC
📋 Assumptions
- Driving speed, climate, and environmental conditions are based on Real Range Highway data
- No additional time required to initiate or stop the charging session
- The charging station always delivers the maximum power requested by the vehicle
- The battery is assumed to be in optimal health and condition
⚠️ Important Note : In real-world driving, it is practically impossible to replicate these conditions exactly.
This benchmark should therefore be viewed as a comparative metric, designed to evaluate vehicles under standardized conditions rather than predict exact trip distances.
