The Tesla wall charger is a versatile charging outlet that allows fast charging of EV’s, it is waterproof and has been designed to be operational both outdoors and indoors.

The Tesla wall charger has different colored lights that blink to indicate various issues. When the Blue light is blinking, it is indicating that either the car is getting prepared to charge or a charging session has been scheduled.

When the wall charger is blinking red, it means that there is a problem and the touchscreen should show more information about the issue.

When the wall charger is blinking green, the car is being charged and once done it will turn into a solid green color. 

Besides installation, our electricians will also help you understand the Tesla wall charger error codes for troubleshooting if tesla wall charger keeps tripping.

The Tesla charger has different variations and generations and Tesla has released its 3rd gen charger as an upgrade. The 3rd gen charger is lighter and shorter than the 2nd gen one as the maximum power has been reduced to 48 amps, which means less overheating issues. The length of the cable has been shortened to 18 feet from 24 feet which could be an issue for some. The price has been kept the same at $500 so that should be a benefit.

Permitting and inspection requirements differ from city to city. For more information, contact your local municipality. According to the City of Anaheim EV Charger Installation Guideline, permit is required if you are installing a new 120 volt receptacle outlet for the charger. The City requires a permit for all Level 2 charger installations that require 208/240 VAC at 20-100 Amps. Our certified electricians will assist you with all necessary permits and inspections.

Tesla wall chargers have different maximum amp capacity depending on the generation of the charger. The Tesla gen 2 charger could deliver up to 80 amps of power, however, the 3rd gen goes up to a maximum of 48 Amps and has relatively less overheating issues.

The range of miles per charge is dependent on the charger’s maximum power output, your Tesla’s maximum power intake, and your electrical panel’s maximum current capacity.  With Level 2 chargers, you can charge up to 10- 52 miles per hour of range with 3.3 to 17.2 kW of power.

The main difference with nema 14-50 charger and the Tesla wall outlet is the speed of charging and the price. 

Both require 240-volt outlet, nema 14-50 is around 15-20% slower than the Tesla wall charger. It averages around 20-25 miles per hour of charge which is about ten miles per hour slower than the Tesla wall charger.

The Tesla wall charger has a specified installation height that the manual provides. The wall connector should be at a minimum height of 18 inches if installed indoors and 24 inches if installed outdoors. Additionally, the maximum height that it can be installed at is 60 inches.

Tesla has launched a new wall charging outlet for all types of electric Vehicles available in North America. It comes with a J1772 plug that allows you to charge any electric vehicle.

Most Tesla owners either charge at home or use the Tesla network to charge their cars and plan their journey accordingly.  Many times, however, you might need to charge your car in a non Tesla charging station. Previously this was not possible as the cars are not compatible with public charging stations. This has now changed with the addition of the Tesla CCS connector gen 1.  The CCS combo 1 adapter allows compatible Teslas to connect to public charging stations. This is currently available in the United States for $250.
