Wall Connector Features
Â
Speed
Wall Connector is compatible with Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y and is capable of providing up to 44 miles of range per hour of charge, with up to 11.5 kW / 48 amp output, depending on model.
Convenience
Wall Connector can adapt to most home electrical systems, with customizable power levels on a range of circuit breakers. This versatility allows installation in most homes, apartments, condos and workplaces. The lightweight 24-foot (7.3 meter) cable allows the Mobile Connector to be left in the car.
Connectivity
Connecting the Wall Connector to a local Wi-Fi network enables it to receive over-the-air firmware updates, remote diagnostics access and usage data tracking capability. Firmware updates will be automatically sent to the Wall Connector to improve the user experience and introduce new features.
Plugin Sharing
Power sharing is ideal for households that need to charge more than one Tesla at the same time, but may not have enough power for multiple electrical circuits. This functionality allows up to six Wall Connectors to share power from one circuit while still allowing your vehicles to receive a sufficient charge.
Access Control
Charging Access Control gives you full control over which cars are allowed to charge with your Wall Connector. You can restrict charging access directly through the commissioning wizard without having to resort to a physical locking device.
Indoor/Outdoor Compatible
Wall Connector’s lightweight design allows for versatile, indoor or outdoor mounting.
Vehicle Charging Speeds
For the fastest home charging, install Wall Connector with a circuit breaker that matches your vehicle’s onboard charger capabilities. To view the max amperage of your Tesla, tap the lightning bolt icon on the touchscreen.
Â
For unique power situations or when power may be limited, Wall Connector can also be installed with lower amperage circuit breakers to support almost any existing electrical system.
