What is a NEMA 14-50 outlet?
This is a 240 volt outlet installed on a 50 amp circuit breaker. This outlet is commonly used for electric range stoves, large RVs and Tesla vehicles. The majority of Tesla owners install this outlet near their parking spot for home charging. An electrician will be able to provide all the necessary hardware for this outlet; no special equipment is required from Tesla for the installation. Simply plug your vehicle into the NEMA 14-50 outlet using the Mobile Connector cable for a recharge rate of about 30 miles of range per hour. Find our installation guide for the NEMA 14-50 here.
What is a Tesla Wall Connector?
The Wall Connector is a Tesla specific charging station, permanently mounted to a wall or post. For the most power, install the unit on a 100 amp circuit breaker, allowing 80 amps of AC current for charging (note: Model S must have Dual Chargers to accept more than 40 amps).
The Wall Connector can be customized to almost any power supply, including lower power situations. Internal dip switches allow an electrician to program operating current (amps). In additional to a 100 amp circuit breaker, the Wall Connector can also be installed on an 80, 50, 40, 30, 20 or 15 amp circuit breaker. Find the installation guide here.
The Wall Connectors is beneficial for customers who are in any of the following situations:
Interested in faster home charging (install with a 100 or 80 Amp circuit breaker)
Have limited power situations (install with a 15, 20, 30 or 40 amp circuit breaker)
Enjoy the aesthetics of the Wall Connector and want to keep the Mobile Connector in the vehicle at all times
Install the Wall Connector at home if you want the most seamless charging experience. Purchase one from a local service center, or our online store.
