Tesla Wall Charger - Our Guide
With Tesla being the most well known brand in electric cars at the moment, its no surprise that Tesla owners are likely to opt for the Tesla wall connector home charger as for their home car chargers. Is the Tesla wall connector the best battery charging solution for your home? Lets take a look at the main features and why you would choose this charger.
Designed for Tesla
The most obvious reason to buy the wall connector is if you own a Tesla. While it can charge other electric cars, it can only be nought directly from Tesla. After release in the US last year, the 3rd gen version is now available in the UK.
What Type of Connector Does the Tesla Wall Connector use?
Unlike other home charging units on the market, the Tesla Wall connector 3rd gen comes only with a tethered type 2 cable. This is due to every Tesla model being a type 2 connector.
Smart Charging
The 3rd gen wall connector is a smart charger (although some of the features are pending) which is capable of load sharing and is managed by the Tesla app. Tesla owners will also be able to remotely monitor their charging over a wifi connection, as well as receive over the air firmware updates.
To benefit fully from these smart features you will need to be a Tesla owners as some features wont be available to 3rd party electric cars even though they can be charged.
Safety Features
Unlike previous generations of Tesla chargers, the gen 3 model has type A RCD protections with 6MA DC protection. This means that users no longer need to install a separate type RCD charge point which has increased the cost of installing a Tesla charger in the past.
Power Output
The gen 3 wall connector outputs at 11.5 kW which for the model 3 equates to around 44 miles or range per hour charged. This varies greatly depending on your set up and which model Tesla you own (the model 3 currently being the best range per hours charged).
Full information around the range of miles per hour charged can be found below on the Tesla website.
If you want to charge at the full electrical output level of 48-amps you will need to install the charger on a dedicated 60 amp circuit. It is worth checking with your installer to find out the best option when it comes to installation at your home.
Tesla Wall Connector Cable Length
On the Gen 3 Wall connector the cable length is is 7.2m.
Warranty
Tesla offers a 3 year warranty on the wall connector charger.
