Tesla Wall Connector Installation

The Wall Connector wants a hardwired 60 amp circuit to charge at its full 48 amps. We install it right the first time, with the permit, the inspection, and your ComEd rebate handled.

The Tesla Wall Connector is the most requested charger we install, and not only for Teslas. The Gen 3 Wall Connector charges any car with a NACS port, and the Universal Wall Connector adds a built in J1772 adapter so a Ford, Rivian, Hyundai, Chevy or BMW can share the same unit. Both are hardwired, both top out at 48 amps on a 60 amp breaker, and both need a proper install to get there.

Tesla's own app walks you through commissioning, but it cannot run the wire. The circuit has to be sized correctly, the wire has to be copper and rated for the amperage, the breaker has to match, and the install has to be permitted and inspected. We do a lot of these, so the whole thing takes an afternoon and you are charging at full speed that night.

Send a short video from your panel to the spot where you want the Wall Connector. You get a written estimate the same day and a firm price after a free site visit. We supply the Gen 3 or the Universal unit, so it is on the truck on install day and the whole job is on one invoice.

Two Teslas in the garage? Two Wall Connectors on one circuit share power automatically. We set that up too.

Gen 3 versus Universal Wall Connector

The Gen 3 Wall Connector has a built in NACS cable, which fits every Tesla and the newer Ford, Rivian, GM, Hyundai and Kia models with a native NACS port. The Universal Wall Connector has the same cable plus a J1772 adapter that locks into the handle, so any older EV or plug in hybrid can use it without a separate adapter sitting in the car.

Pick the Universal if more than one brand of car will ever charge in your garage, including a guest or a future second car. Pick the Gen 3 if it is a Tesla only household and you want the cleanest look. The install cost is identical.

Power sharing for two or more cars

Up to six Wall Connectors can share a single circuit. If you have two EVs, we run one 60 amp circuit and install two units that split the available power between them. When one car finishes charging, the other speeds up. It avoids a second circuit and a second breaker space, which matters when the panel is getting full.

We configure the power sharing in the Tesla app during commissioning and show you how it looks on the screen before we leave.

What it costs with the ComEd rebate

A Wall Connector install with the panel in or near the garage runs $1,200 to $2,500 installed, charger included. A run across the house, outside in conduit, or to a detached garage runs $2,000 to $4,000. ComEd's residential program pays up to $2,500 for income qualified households and up to $750 for everyone else toward a Level 2 charger and installation, deducted right on the invoice. The 2026 funds are spent and applications reopen January 1, 2027.

We prepare the rebate packet after the inspection passes. The Wall Connector is an eligible charger, and we make sure the invoice and photos match what ComEd asks for.

Questions people ask

Does the Tesla Wall Connector need a 60 amp breaker?

It needs a 60 amp breaker to charge at its full 48 amps. It can also be commissioned at lower settings on a 50, 40 or even 20 amp circuit if the panel is limited. We set the breaker and the charger's software limit to match so it is safe and code compliant.

Can a non Tesla use the Wall Connector?

Yes. The Gen 3 charges any car with a NACS port, and the Universal Wall Connector includes a built in J1772 adapter for every other EV sold in the US. Older Teslas and all current Fords, Rivians and GM EVs work on either unit.

Is the Wall Connector included in the price?

Yes. The Wall Connector comes with the install, so it is on the truck on install day and the charger, the circuit, the permit and the inspection are all on one invoice. That single invoice is also what the ComEd rebate paperwork asks for when the program reopens.

Can the Wall Connector go outside?

Yes. It is rated for outdoor use. We mount it on the house or a post, run outdoor rated conduit, and position the cable so it reaches the charge port on a car in the driveway without stretching.

How long does a Wall Connector install take?

Three to five hours when the panel is close, most of a day for a detached garage or a long run. You are charging the same night. Commissioning in the Tesla app takes about ten minutes and we do it with you before we leave.
