Sizing summary
The Tesla Model 3 (Portable 16A Level 2 Mode) draws 3,840 W while running and 3,840 W at start-up — a surge ratio of 1.0×, meaning it behaves as a steady resistive or electronic load. In North America it is a 240 V load, so only split-phase-capable units qualify: 18 otherwise-capable 120 V units are excluded on voltage alone.
11 of 30 sources pass every check in North America and 19 of 35 pass in 230 V markets. The leanest fully compatible choice is the Oukitel BP5000 Pro Max , while the EG4 18kPV Hybrid Inverter + PowerPro 14.3kWh WallMount delivers the longest runtime (3.2 hrs at 100% duty) .
EV charging is a continuous load by definition, so the NEC 125% rule always applies: this 3,840 W profile needs a 20 A circuit in North America. In 230 V markets it draws 16.0 A (3,680 W).

Frequently asked questions
What size power station do I need for a Tesla Model 3 (Portable 16A Level 2 Mode)?
You need at least 3,840 W of continuous inverter output, 3,840 W of surge capacity and 120/240 V split-phase output in North America. 11 of the 30 power sources we track meet all three requirements; the leanest is the Oukitel BP5000 Pro Max.
Which power station runs a Tesla Model 3 (Portable 16A Level 2 Mode) the longest?
The EG4 18kPV Hybrid Inverter + PowerPro 14.3kWh WallMount offers the longest runtime among compatible units: about 3.2 hrs at a 100% duty cycle thanks to its 14,336 Wh battery.
What breaker does a Tesla Model 3 (Portable 16A Level 2 Mode) need?
In North America: 16.0 A at 240 V × 1.25 = 20.0 A, so a 20 A breaker. In the UK, EU and Australia: 16.0 A at 230 V on a 16 A MCB with RCD protection.
