      If your electrical panel can support a 60 amp circuit, you could charge at 48 amps instead of 32. My power company offered a $500 rebate for installation of my wall charger. I also have a 7.5 kWh solar system, and only pay about $0.19 per kW when charging (had the solar system installed before I thought of buying an EV).

    I live in a multi dwelling building and we must install a DC contrôler limiting the amps to 48 for any condo 200A and less breaker. As it has overload protection built-in, mobile or wall connector does the job. The mobile connector was included with my 2020 YP but I still decided to install a wall connector and keep my mobile connector for level 1 charging while travelling. Used it a few times since. I have all the plug adapters, including those for 240V kitchen range and welding. I use my level 2 wall connector 99% of the time. It’s like having your own gaz station at home at a fraction of the cost and without the smell of gaz and oil 😊. Your garage will never be the same once you own an EV.😊

    I bought the Tesla wall mount cord keeper for my mobile connector. It looks great and keeps everything up off of the ground. Since I have a Model 3 with LFP batteries they can't charge faster than 32 amps anyway so the 44 amps from the wall charger is of no advantage to me. Great video with good information.

      We have the Model 3 with the LFP battery and charge it the same way. The cord keeper keeps everything neat and tidy. I don't like the cord laying on the garage floor to reach the 8' or so from where the Mobile Connector is mounted near the NEMA 14-50 plug but was warned against charging the car with the cord still wound around the cord keeper. Unlike the thick cord that comes with the Electrify America charger I use for our 2022 VW ID4, the Tesla cord seems to get much warmer to the touch and allowing it to lay on the cool concrete floor dissipates heat when we're charging. Heat or aesthetics, gotta pick your poison I guess.

    I have both chargers, the wall connector mounted outside where I park, and the other one which carry in the rear compartment in front of the under trunk. I had the electrician install a 60 amp circuit, allowing the wall connector to charge at its maximum rate of 48 amps. I also bought the 50 amp plug for use at my son’s house when I visit there. I’m now on my third wall connector after having the first two replaced under warranty.

    In a nutshell there are a few cases to get the wall charger. One if you want up to 48 amp charging speed vs 32 amp (note the Model 3 rear wheel drive doesn't go above 32 amps). If you plan to park outside then you'll probably want to have a wall charger, especially if the outlet isn't covered (zap!). The wall charger looks cleaner or nicer than the mobile charger. There is another Tesla mobile charger that charges at 40 amps, but it can only be used on 14-50 outlets and is rarely in stock.

    big thing you are missing: Wall mounted takes 2 wire+ground vs 3+ground for the mobile 14-60 plug, so might be a lot cheaper and easier to push into conduit. Also 48A vs 32A so no they are not the same speed (depending on breaker/wire you have).

    I totally agree, you need to have. home charging option or you will hate your EV.
    When I had my solar panels installed I elected to include a wall charger...its price was included in the rebates by my state and power company, so its net cost to me was $250, installed. I then went out and bought my first Tesla (M3). The combination worked great.
    Then we bought our second Tesla (a MY). For this one I had a NEMA 14-50 240V outlet and used it with the mobile connector. It is every bit as functional as the wall charger and more useful in that you can take the charger with you and/or use the outlet for other things. If I were to move, I wouldn't install a wall charger in my new house.

    Small detail missed about the charging speed. The 14-50 actually DOESNT charge at 40 amps with the regular mobile connector. It’s 32a max, so it’s a 40a circuit equivalent for the wall connector. The wall connector goes up to 48a with a 60a circuit. For whatever reason, NEMA didn’t make a 40 amp plug, but the electric code in most places allows you to use the 14-50 and 6-50 connectors on 40a circuits IF you have the outlet labeled as 40A MAX. Now there’s also a second Tesla “mobile” connector with a hard wired 14-50 that does handle 40A so it would be matched with the wall connector in that instance. Really though, 32A is plenty for many people. I’m only use a 24A charger

      The 32a mobile vs 48a wall is a pretty significant difference - 50% more. A 60a circuit is the way to go for the wall charger (codes typically require current maintained for longer than (I think) 2 hours be only taking up to 80% of the circuit max, which results in 48a sustained).

      @@tb-ld8ug you really don’t need your car charged that quickly from home. 24A is still above my daily needs. Even worked fine for the 100% charge to roadtrip with, though it was a bit close. Still, not like it would’ve been a big deal to wake up with 90% instead of 100%. Most of the time anyway. Also worth noting that LFP model 3s max a 32a. Unless you own a cybertruck, the wall connector is overkill. Not saying you shouldn’t buy one if you just have the money and want it, but it’s extremely disingenuous to say it’s the “obvious choice” or “best option” for most people when most people don’t need anywhere near that much power. Hell, a 6-20 (16a 240v charging) outlet is 100 miles in 8 hours on everything but the model X, and the average commute is barely half that.

  • @4x2-ev

    The savings is not really that much. You do not want to use the same outlet from a box store that you would for a dryer. The continuous EV loads are causing overheating and melting of the cheaper outlets. Only install commercial grade outlets and they start at about $70 each. The code has changed and most areas have adopted the change which means a gfci breaker for another $100 and the extra unused neutral wire. Hardwired, done right, is about the same cost as plug in.

    In my opinion, everyone here should consult a licensed electrian to make sure you are doing it right. I my state, it is legal to do your own electrical work. You need to get a permit and you can't energize the circuit until your work is checked and approved by the building inspector. I say this because you mention 6-2. that tells me you ran Romex. Lucky you that you chose a 50 amp breaker. (that's the max allowed by most codes for 6-2 Romex). This is because for continuos load ev charging, the #6 Romex feeders amperage needs to be derated. In most juristrictions, you can run #6 on a 60 amp breaker if it's #6 THHN inside a conduit. (but you need to check your local codes and consult a licensed electrcian in your area.). If you do it wrong you could end-up burning your house down. If afterwards an insurance adjuster discovers the electrical work that caused the fire was done illegally, the insurance company can refuse to pay your claim.

    I live in an apartment with a garage. They told me that I couldn’t charge my Tesla in my garage because the Tesla will pull too much power and potentially shut off my breakers .
    Any recommendations when it comes to charging it at home?

      Is there an outlet in the garage?

      Do you already own a Tesla? If so what year and model?
