Tesla Universal Wall Connector - Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger with Dual Plug Type - Compatible for All North American EVs - Level 2 - up to 48A with 24' Cable

If you own a Tesla—or any EV, really—this home charger is a game changer. I bought this particular model with the future in mind, just in case I switch to a different EV down the road. It’s universal, powerful, and looks great mounted in the garage.Installation was straightforward, and once it’s up, using it is a breeze. I don’t personally use all the advanced features like scheduled charging (I set that from my car), but it’s nice to know the options are there.Overall, this charger is a solid investment. It's sleek, easy to operate, and feels built to last. Highly recommend for anyone looking to simplify their EV charging at home with a bit of style and versatility!

Now this product is excellent and very easy to install, but I do mean, but only problem is you got to have a lot of common sense and patience you got to have weakness and you cannot cut on the wires. The wires are the most expensive part besides buying the box cause you have to use wire that won't heat up and trust me you want that and bending them in the pipe you try to make the pipe invisible, which I did you see it a little bit coming from the junction box going into the garage and the pipe runs at the bottom of the floor like a 3 inch off the floor to the front of the garage and conduit and it looks real real nice I'm sorry I didn't have a picture but you gotta come back and take a picture and put it up now but anyway it's excellent. Charge is very fast no problems with the unit. Will let you know if you did something wrong. I did use a 60 amp breaker and the save you to harassment. I recommend that you install it close by the breaker if you do it inside the garage if you're doing outside the garage it makes it look even better which I did it outside but the cable was low enough to put it on the inside if I wanted to OK but anyway, long story excellent product excellent have no complaints at all with the money.

This EV charger is well made and if you have a Tesla, it makes sense to get a Tesla Charger. You will find some no-name brand charges for a bit cheaper but it's not worth the risk. I was on the fence on getting this charger (Universal Wall Connector) versus the Tesla Wall Connector (only NACS plug) for $120 less. This does the same thing the Tesla Wall Connector does but comes with a built-in NACS to J1772 adapter that is securely locked to the charger. For those with the Cybertruck, the Universal Wall Connector is the only charger that is capable of utilizing the Telsa PowerShare (home backup power). If you don't care for the J1772 adapter or the PowerShare, you can save some money by opting for the Tesla Wall Connector. Then if you need to charge a EV with a J1772 in the future, you can also purchase an adapter. For me, it was worth the extra $120 for this charger because I am getting a high quality NACS to J1772 adapter that is built into the charger. The adapter does locks into the charger when not in use and also locks into the NACS plug if charging with this adapter.Installation:Consult with an license electrical before installation. I opted to go with 6-AWG THHN copper wires and a 60-amp breaker for my install. If you use Romex, you may have to go with 4-AWG wires. Only three wires are required for the install (2 hots and a ground wire - no neutral wire needed). 6-AWG is the minimum size wire that Tesla recommends if you plan to charge at the 48A max output. The location of the Universal Wall Connecter is only a couple feet from my breaker panel. I purchase 6 ft of wires and use 3/4" flexible conduct. The mounting box has a pre-drilled top and bottom knockouts made for 3/4 conducts. If you go with a larger size conduit, you will have to drill a larger opening on mounting box. There are also some pre-marked holes to drill in the back of the mounting box if you prefer to have the wires come out from the wall.Usage:The charger works well. My Model 3 is set to charge at 32A and it charged from 20% to 80% in about 4.5 hours. The cable is long enough that it can reach from the front wall of my garage to outside (where my Model 3 is parked in the driveway). The charger allows setting the breaker size which will set the max amp charging output. I set it to 60-amp breaker, which will charge at a max of 48A. Your car should be able to control the output of the charge. If not, you can set it to a smaller breaker size and it will drop the charging output lower. Currently, there is no easy way to do this. You have to put the charger in commission mode and then connect to the charger's Wi-Fi and navigate to the charger's IP address. Only then can you change the output amperage on the charger. But this is not something an average user would need to do so Tesla may of made it inconvenient for this reason.2-MONTH UPDATE:* The charger is still working great. I have not encounter any issue yet. I mostly use the Tesla plug and used the J1772 adapter twice.* This price for this charger has increased by $25 while the price for regular Wall Connector has decrease by $25. Price difference is now $170 (no longer $120 as noted in my original review).8-MONTH UPDATE:I use this daily and it's still working without any issues.Also appended some notes about the Tesla Powershare to my original review.

I own a Dodge Hornet which is a plug-in hybrid. I live in NJ and our energy company (PSE&G) has a rebate program for installing a charger in your home. I received a $1,500 credit on my energy bill after I provided all of the details they required. The charger itself works really well. I may purchase a Tesla at some point so I love the versatility of being able to charge both types of vehicles. My electrician had no trouble installing it and the township approved the permit without any issues. I would highly recommend it!

This works to charge my Polestar 2, which the regular Tesla charger would not. Talking with Tesla engineers convinced me that this was the option I needed. Installation was fast and easy as it just replaced the standard model. For a new installation, I recommend an electrician, although a smart homeowner could do it.Don't toss the small amount of paper that comes with it! You'll want that Quick Start Guide when you set it up to connect to your home wi-fi. Otherwise you have to connect with Tesla to get the internal password, and that takes a few days.Once installed, I plugged it in to my Polestar 2, and ten seconds later it was charging. It comes with an adapter that stores in the wall unit for non-Tesla vehicles. Handy and keeps it from getting lost.If you *might* need to charge a car different from yours, or you just want to cover all the bases, this is the gold standard. It's more expensive, but Tesla does support it.
