Tesla Wall Connector
Tesla Wall Connector is a Level 2 home EV charger from Tesla with up to 48 A (11.52 kW) output and a NACS connector — 22 ft cable, networked smart charging.
MSRP: $475
Our take
The only NACS-native unit in this batch: Teslas plug straight in, while J1772 cars need a separate adapter — the reverse of the situation everywhere else in this class. At $475 it is among the cheaper listed prices for a 48 A unit, and the certified efficiency backs it up: 1.36 W of standby draw ranks in the lowest 10% of the 91 certified 48 A models, about 12 kWh a year. The 22-foot cable runs three feet under the class median, and a 60 A circuit delivers 11.5 kW — roughly 41 miles of range per hour.
- Best for: Tesla households wanting native NACS at a competitive listed price.
- Trade-off: J1772 vehicles need their own adapter to use it at all.
