Charging Equipment

Charging equipment designed specifically to charge your Model S is available from Tesla.

  • A Wall Connector, which installs in your parking space, is the fastest way to charge your vehicle for daily use.
  • A Mobile Connector allows you to plug into most commonly used power outlets. When using the Mobile Connector, attach the smart adapter (if required) to the Mobile Connector before plugging it in to the power outlet, and then plug in your vehicle.
  • Tesla also offers adapters that allow you to plug into the most commonly used public charging stations in your region. At a public charge station, first attach the adapter to the station's charging connector and then plug in your vehicle.
