Universal Wall Connector

This EV charger is well made and if you have a Tesla, it makes sense to get a Tesla Charger. You will find some no-name brand charges for a bit cheaper but it's not worth the risk. I was on the fence on getting this charger (Universal Wall Connector) versus the Tesla Wall Connector (only NACS plug) for $120 less. This does the same thing the Tesla Wall Connector does but comes with a built-in NACS to J1772 adapter that is securely locked to the charger. For those with the Cybertruck, the Universal Wall Connector is the only charger that is capable of utilizing the Telsa PowerShare (home backup power). If you don't care for the J1772 adapter or the PowerShare, you can save some money by opting for the Tesla Wall Connector. Then if you need to charge a EV with a J1772 in the future, you can also purchase an adapter. For me, it was worth the extra $120 for this charger because I am getting a high quality NACS to J1772 adapter that is built into the charger. The adapter does locks into the charger when not in use and also locks into the NACS plug if charging with this adapter. Installation: Consult with an license electrical before installation. I opted to go with 6-AWG THHN copper wires and a 60-amp breaker for my install. If you use Romex, you may have to go with 4-AWG wires. Only three wires are required for the install (2 hots and a ground wire - no neutral wire needed). 6-AWG is the minimum size wire that Tesla recommends if you plan to charge at the 48A max output. The location of the Universal Wall Connecter is only a couple feet from my breaker panel. I purchase 6 ft of wires and use 3/4" flexible conduct. The mounting box has a pre-drilled top and bottom knockouts made for 3/4 conducts. If you go with a larger size conduit, you will have to drill a larger opening on mounting box. There are also some pre-marked holes to drill in the back of the mounting box if you prefer to have the wires come out from the wall. Usage: The charger works well. My Model 3 is set to charge at 32A and it charged from 20% to 80% in about 4.5 hours. The cable is long enough that it can reach from the front wall of my garage to outside (where my Model 3 is parked in the driveway). The charger allows setting the breaker size which will set the max amp charging output. I set it to 60-amp breaker, which will charge at a max of 48A. Your car should be able to control the output of the charge. If not, you can set it to a smaller breaker size and it will drop the charging output lower. Currently, there is no easy way to do this. You have to put the charger in commission mode and then connect to the charger's Wi-Fi and navigate to the charger's IP address. Only then can you change the output amperage on the charger. But this is not something an average user would need to do so Tesla may of made it inconvenient for this reason. 2-MONTH UPDATE: * The charger is still working great. I have not encounter any issue yet. I mostly use the Tesla plug and used the J1772 adapter twice. * This price for this charger has increased by $25 while the price for regular Wall Connector has decrease by $25. Price difference is now $170 (no longer $120 as noted in my original review). 8-MONTH UPDATE: I use this daily and it's still working without any issues. Also appended some notes about the Tesla Powershare to my original review.

Excellent charger! Fast, reliable, and easy to use. It looks great in my garage, and the Tesla app makes charging simple. Highly recommend!

Wanted to have a hardwired charger and truthfully this is probably the best option for universal charging. It really is very nicely designed and my electrician had it up and running in no time. Very intuitive app, able to do the commissioning and set it to correct output as well as set schedule for timing for my car to benefit for the best rate. A little pricey than some other options but still think it is good value especially if you get EVSE rebate through your electric company.

I purchased this Universal Wall Connector to accommodate both Tesla cars which exclusively use a smaller rounder plug, the NACS standard, and all other EVs which use a larger bulkier plug, the J1772 standard. It changes the plug end depending how you use it. If you just pull the plug out, it's a Tesla plug. If you put your thumb on a button on top, as you pull it out, an adapter is attached for the 'other' EV connection which is locked on. It can't be pulled off nor can you pull it out of the charger housing when not used. It is impossible to separate this adapter at anytime. I installed the charger unit myself very easily, but hired a licensed electrician to simply make the electrical connections. This helped to reduce time and other installation costs. This is a level 2 AC only charger needing 240 volts running on a 50Amp circuit. It's the fastest way to home charge your EV. I didn't buy a Tesla vehicle. I got a 2026 Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid Prestige which I am extremely happy with. I have used the charger many times with great ease. Tremendous savings on fuel costs too. This SUV is getting 107mpg and I have only used a 1/4 tank of gas having traveled 700 miles. I am thinking I might end up buying a Tesla Cybercab with autonomous full self-driving abilities next year 2027 when they become available to purchase. When that day comes, I'll be ready with my Tesla Universal Charger.

I love my home charger. Everyday I get to start my trips with a fully charged vehicle, and there's no waiting or paying a much higher price at a charging station. This one works well and it does the job quickly. The WiFi setup was a bit difficult because it wouldn't connect, but by the next morning, it was connected and it hasn't dropped since then.

I recently installed the Tesla Universal Wall Connector for my Model 3, and I’m very satisfied with the overall experience. Installation instructions were clear and easy to follow, making setup straightforward. This charger stands out for its universal compatibility—supporting both NACS (standard for Teslas and future EVs from 2025 onward) and the J1772 connector used by legacy and non-Tesla EVs. I mistakenly built the infrastructure capable of 48 amps before realizing my Model 3 caps charging at 32 amps, nevertheless, having this capacity ensures future compatibility. The only minor downside was the included mounting hardware, which I found insufficient—particularly when installing onto exterior stucco walls. I highly recommend using robust cement or brick anchors for secure installation. Pros: ✅Easy to read and install ✅Dual connector support (NACS and J1772) ✅Future-proof, max 48A charging capability Cons: 🚫Mounting hardware provided was inadequate for stucco walls Recommendation: ✅Highly recommended for its versatility and ease of use. Just plan ahead and ensure you have suitable mounting hardware if installing externally on stucco or brick.

All I can say is thank God I didn’t buy a car from Tesla. Over an hour with phone support to no avail, they do not offer on-site service (despite the fact there is a Tesla dealership 20 minutes from my house), and they are now sending me a replacement because the thing will not charge my EV, which means another delay, the task of shipping the original back to Tesla, and yet another arduous set up process, if it even works at all. Seriously, if you don’t own a Tesla vehicle, go with a ChargePoint home charger, or better yet, just install a 220 line instead of a charger. If my second Tesla charger does not work, I’m swapping it for a ChargePoint. If Tesla can’t even get a home EV charger to work properly, why would they ever expect anyone to buy a big ticket item like a car or one of their home battery systems?

I'll give you this... It's a great charger. The cord is sturdy and thick. The adapter is easy to use. And I don't have to worry about the nacs standard because I'll already have it. It's easy to use and charges way faster than the regular 120 plug that came with my caddy But getting the charger was a pain in the butt. First, they got back ordered. Literally the day I committed to buying... That day... It went from 2 day shipping to 2 weeks. I received the item two weeks later, and it was used missing the installation hardware. There were scratches on the side. You can visibly and clearly see this was not a new unit. Amazon replaced it... BUT it was still on backorder. So I had to wait another 2 weeks. They sent an actual new unit. I did alot of talking to tesla and Amazon customer service. I just had to wait. And this isn't to mention me buying the cheaper wall connector at first... Which was also on back order. What a joke... It took about a month and a half overall. Once I got it the installer got it up and running. You just run the qr code... Follow the prompts. And bam: you got your charge on. I've been using it a few months and it's so simple. Just plug it in. (you have to set it up during install to charge at night)... You wake up and you have a fully charged car. You can also charge immediately. Like the other day I came home with 2% and I plugged it in and hit charge on the app. After about an hour and a half or so I was at 20%. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to stop the charging with the tesla app. I have to use the cadillac app to stop the charge. No biggie. The tesla app is pretty robust. You can set up to charge at a super station. And add other tesla products.... But I only see myself having the charger for now. Overall I'm happy. It is pricey. I would have stuck with the cheaper wall connector but I didn't want to chance it with a after market adapter. Luckily I used my points to buy Amazon gift cards. Otherwise I'd stuck with the cheaper charger or the charge point

Lo puedo usar en mi Mach E, también en tesla, tiene un mecanismo que no se puede sacar el adaptador osea está en el cargador o en el conector pero no lo puedes llevar en tu vehículo.

Tesla charger works great, simple design and integrated with the app so you can have full control over charging, can lock it and limit charge times, or schedule charges. Highly recommend it

Good idea from Tesla to give a Universal option for electric cars. Yes they might have less options with the app than other brands at the same price but you discover that you don’t really need them as long as you have a charging schedule, autorisation and locking capabilities. Keep in mind that this charger is future proof. The built quality is insane. Cable is usable even in Canadian winters. The adaptor is really well built. You feel a premium touch. Connection on your grid is easy and compatibility is incredible (plug and play).

Un gran producto original de Tesla. Se instala muy fácilmente y es un gran complemento para el uso diario del vehículo. Funciona muy bien e incluye un adaptador para vehículos No Tesla.

Works very well for Tesla and non Tesla cars. Nice and functional app.
