Tesla Wall connector

Tesla recommends the Wall Connector as the most dynamic home charging hardware for Model S, Model X and Model 3. Customisable to almost any power supply, the Wall Connector will provide faster charging speeds and the most convenience for home charging.

• Customisable power levels, allowing installation with any circuit breaker ranging from 6 to 32 amps
• Compatible with 230 volt single phase and 400 volt 3 phase power supplies
• As many as four Wall Connectors can share available power, perfect for owners with more than one Tesla or commercial installations
• Mounted to a wall or post, the Wall Connector can be installed both indoors and outdoors
• 48 month warranty

• A maximum charge rate depends on three components, shown below. The component that channels the least power, referred to as the “slowest link”, determines the maximum charge rate.

Grid connection at your home

• Grid connection size & configuration varies in Australia, our electrician will be able to determine your capacity, current electrical demand and safely install your Wall Connector.

Tesla Wall Connector

• The maximum power output of the Wall Connector is 22 kW, meaning it is never the slowest link of the home charging installation.

Your Tesla

• The onboard charger, which is built into your car, has a maximum rate at which it can deliver energy to the battery.  Different Tesla cars have different onboard charger capabilities:

• Model 3 - Onboard Charger rate @ 11kW - Typical added Range @ 75 km/h
• Model S/X - Onboard Charger rate @ 16.5kW - Typical added Range @ 90-80 km/h
• Model S before May 2016 - Onboard Charger rate @ 11 or 22kW - Typical added Range @ 60-110 km/h

There are three main steps:

Step 1: Purchase the Wall Connector:

• You have two options available to you:

1. Purchase the Wall Connector directly from Tesla - Here.
2. Purchase the Wall Connector via us, for the same price, through the online Shop.

Step 2: Engage a qualified and certified Electrician:

• Another options again:

1. Engage your own Electrician, or
2. Purchase the 'Standard Installation and Commissioning' package, together with the Wall Connector, in the online Shop.

Step 3: Installation Process:

• Either, call us once your Wall Connector arrives from Tesla, or we will call you once we or the installer has received it .
• Together, we will book a time for the installation, that best suits you.
• Once the licensed Electrician arrives, they will:

1. Introduce themselves and provide a copy of their credentials and electrical license
2. Walk through the installation with you, to ensure that they understand all of your requirements.  During this 'walk through' they will calculate the distance of cabling required, to ensure minimal voltage drop.  A standard installation allows for maximum 30m of cabling.
3. Check your electrical switchboard, to ensure that there are no reasons why the installation can't go ahead
4. Position the Wall Connector to reach your charge port located on the left rear taillight
5. Install and test the dedicated copper conductor circuit installation, to comply with AS/NZ3000 wiring regulations - including all protection devices and earthing.
6. Mount and Wire a RCD and CB in your electrical switchboard.  The residual current device (RCD) is there to avoid electric shocks. Type A at least, but preferably Type B.  The circuit breaker (CB) - with tripping characteristic C - ensures that the circuit is broken if too much current flows through the cable, protecting your family and your house.  A combined unit RCBO may be an alternative.
7. Calculate the existing electrical load to determine and set the maximum operating current of the charger, within the set up.  Complete the set up and commissioning of the Wall Connector.
8. Provide one tutorial to those members available to the time, on how to use and maximise your Wall Connector.
9. Leave you with the receipt (if you don't already have it) and a copy of the installation compliance certificate.  Hold on to these for warranty.

Note:

• The installer will confirm during the walkthrough if they have any concerns regarding the installation.  
• If any additional charge may be required, then they will clearly explain to you the reason, and put you in contact with us for any additional payment.

• Up to four Tesla Wall Connectors can be linked together to intelligently share power. This functionality is beneficial for homes or commercial locations that need to charge more than one Tesla at the same time, but may not have enough power for multiple electrical circuits. Install the largest circuit breaker possible, up to 3 phase 32 amps, to maximize charge speed. See installation guide for more detail.
