Tesla Home Charging

The Wall Connector is our recommended home charging solution, as it provides the most convenience with features like scheduling and other electric vehicle compatibility.

However, a Tesla vehicle can also be charged with the Mobile Connector. If you have an existing 230 V outlet at home, a Mobile Connector may be the best home charging option for you.

Both Wall Connector and Mobile Connector offer the same maximum charge rate (32A – up to 48.2 km/h) for Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive and Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive.

The Wall Connector could be installed on a 40A circuit breaker (32A output), or you can install a 230 V outlet with a 50A circuit breaker (32A output) and use the Mobile Connector with the blue adapter.

Regardless of charging speed, the Wall Connector may be the better option as it provides additional functionality that is not offered by the Mobile Connector, like other electric vehicle compatibility, scheduling and charging statistics.

The Wall Connector is recommended for home charging because it offers the highest charging rates and speeds and maximum convenience. However, a Tesla vehicle can also be charged via the Mobile Connector at normal household sockets.

The Wall Connector will charge all other electric vehicles. Charging speeds vary by vehicle and available power supply.

Installing two Wall Connectors configured for Group Power Management would be the best option.

Installation costs vary depending on the electrical system and type of installation. 

By following the steps for connecting a Wall Connector to local Wi-Fi, you can ensure that your Wall Connector stays up to date with over-the-air firmware updates and remote diagnostics.

Increasingly, multi-unit dwellings are required by law to allow EV charging. Additionally, incentives may be available to you or your building property manager to alleviate installation costs. Talk to your property manager about getting chargers installed.

Home charging incentives can come in several forms, including purchase and installation rebates or discounted electricity rates. Refer to your local administration or utility for the latest incentives available to you.

We recommend plugging in every evening to top off the battery. If your utility has low, overnight electricity rates, set your charging schedule to match those off-peak times.

Charge the battery to the appropriate charge limit for your Tesla vehicle based on the installed battery. To adjust the charge limit for your vehicle, open the Charging screen on your touchscreen or in the Tesla app and drag the slider. Different batteries require different charging routines for optimal performance. Your vehicle's touchscreen will display the recommended charge limit for your battery. For other electric vehicles, refer to your vehicle manufacturer's guidance.

Tesla vehicle charging speeds vary by model and whether you are using a Mobile Connector or Wall Connector. Refer to your vehicle manufacturer's guidance for charging speeds of other electric vehicles.

Yes, but only for Tesla vehicles. Charging Access Control gives you full control over which Tesla vehicles are allowed to charge with your Wall Connector. You can restrict access directly through the Tesla app under 'Settings' without having to resort to a physical locking device. This is also possible during the commissioning process via Tesla One.
