As you can see in my attached photo, I’ve also installed a black plexiglass panel to protect my wall from any electrical cord wall discoloration or damage. The owners manual does require the GEN 2 controller to be 18 inches above the floor. I did install this myself but if you are not comfortable working with 220 V you should hire an electrician. The required Sumter County Permit is $93 and all the parts I used cost less. What I did was to install a GEN 2 charger just below my main circuit breaker panel. Note that the GEN 3 Charger Wi-Fi has nothing to do with the car’s software. I found this out calling their support phone number which is listed below. So for now the GEN 3 charger will be using the car’s Wi-Fi. For daily use, a nema is more than enough. The wall connector looks a little nicer, but that’s primarily it. ago Materials for a nema 14-50 are SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than even just the Tesla wall connector by itself. Tesla has an update for their Generation 3 charger in that they are having issues with it’s WiFi. 28 28 comments Best Add a Comment TeslaJon 2 yr. □ Thanks for your post Anthony and Colleen. Gen 3 also has the fastest home charging rates for Models 3 and Y at 40-44 miles per hour on a dedicated 60 AMP circuit. Note that this doesn’t equate to having two separate chargers on their own dedicated circuits (the optimum choice for fastest charging without constraints). if I’m planning on only keeping the mobile connector at home and always plugged into the NEMA 14-50 plug. This unit comes with a NEMA plug for installation. Description The Wallbox Pulsar Plus level 2 smart EV charger offers the best of both small size and powerful performance for faster electric vehicle charging at home. The chargers will be able to communicate with each other and throttle up or down the amperage depending on each vehicle’s needs (although never exceeding the voltage for the one dedicated 60 AMP circuit servicing both vehicles). Installation Details Must be no more than 20ft of conduit distance from Electrical box. My personal opinion, a larger panel is a sound investment as we move toward more electrification (homes, cars, lawn mowers and eventually golf carts here in the Villages).ģrd Gen vs 1st Gen: 3rd Gen has the ability accept software updates for the charger over WiFi and can also be shared with another 3rd Gen charger on the same circuit. Tesla is launching today a new Wall Connector with a NEMA 14-50 plug the automaker’s first non-hardwired Wall Connector for a home charging solution. Personally I don’t see that as much of an issue but if you are building you could have the builder run the required wiring in the wall cavity while the rough electrical is completed.Īs for the breaker upgrade to the panel, most homes come with a 200 AMP panel and depending on your home’s electrical requirements, you may or may not need to upgrade your panel. Regarding your questions, the conduit is visible from the Gen 3 charger up to the ceiling (see pic).
