Chargepoint vs tesla wall connector2/13/2024 So after lots of back and forth I ended up going with GRIZZL-E charger. I would like to go with that too but, if anything goes wrong with the adapter I don't want to be on the wrong end of it from the insurance perspective. You might say that's not a big deal being UL listed is good enough since its just the adapter. Lectron isn't even UL listed where TeslaTap is UL listed. when it comes to Canadian safety standards the two popular Tesla Wall Charger to J1772 Adapters, Lectron and TeslaTap are not approved in Canada. The problem is the Telsa to J1772 adapter. that is what I was planning on doing until I talked to the Electricians who are going to install the 14-50 Nema plug in the garage. So that's $710 CAD all in with Charger, Nema adapter and Tesla to J1772 TeslaTap adapter. The Tesla to J1772 adapter will run you about $230 CAD You can go cheaper and buy the $370 CAD Gen 2 Mobile connector plus the $55 CAD Nema 14-50 adapter instead of the Wall connector at $635 CAD. I tried to hire an electrician to set up separate stations for the 45e and the Tesla and he said he’d gladly take my money but there was no reason I shouldn’t just use this workaround. I’m doing this exact setup and it works brilliantly. I do use it at my local mall, which gives me enough charge to get back home after an hour of shopping/eating. Since the 45e charges so slowly, I dunno if it's a real practical use case, but the option is there. This also leaves me the option of using Tesla destination chargers. I now use the wall charger for the 3, but I set it at 40a so I can use it with the adapter if I need to charge the 45e or some other non-Tesla. The mobile charger can go to about 30a or so. ![]() I use the mobile charger (with adapter) that came with my Model 3 for the 45e because the car can only go to 16a. I don't know if that really weeds out that many people. Because it's the cheapest, you're supposed to tell Tesla which Tesla vehicle it's for. With a battery capacity of 82 kWh (Model 3 Performance and Long Range, 2021), you can charge your Tesla from 10% to 80% of state of charge for about 5 hours and 33 minutes using Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector and only about 16 minutes through V3 Supercharging (250 kW of power) which is super fast indeed.Īs you can see, the Tesla Gen 3 Wall Charger (one type of Level 2 charging station) enables you not only to charge your Tesla Model 3 safely, but also almost 8 times as quickly as using the Level 1 charger.The Tesla wall charger is the cheapest of the comparable chargers. However, it will not be safe charging your car and placing the maximum load on the socket for a charge-up (10% to 80%), since this charge can take up to 44 hours for Model 3, 54 hours for both Model S and Model X, 40 hours for Model Y.īut if you plug in to charge whenever you park, just like you charge your phone, the mobile connector may meet your needs. In some cases, your car can also be charged at 1.4 kW using the Tesla mobile connector via a regular household outlet. ![]() In terms of charging options, you can charge your Tesla vehicles at home using a Level 2 charger. 9.6 kW for the Grizzl-E and 11.5 kW from the Tesla. How Long Does It Take to Charge a Tesla? The answer varies from several minutes to several days.Ī couple of things affect the charging speed, such as the type and power output of the charger, the battery’s storage capacity, the acceptance rate of the on-board charger, how full or empty the battery is, and even environmental parameters like the outside temperature, etc. Though the non-subsidized price of the ChargePoint is a bit higher than that of some of the alternatives, its maximum charging rate is 12 kW (vs. How Long Does It Take to Charge Each Tesla Model?. ![]()
