Chargepoint vs tesla wall connector2/29/2024 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. The NACS is a charging standard for a connector that was created by Tesla and first used on Tesla cars in 2012. 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. Therefore the 60 Amp circuit, can support a 48 Amp continuous load.The Tesla wall charger is the cheapest of the comparable chargers. Also since EVSE is rated for continuous load, the max current is 80% of circuit size. The 6 ga Romex is really only rated for 55 Amps, however the NEC does allow the use of a 60 Amp breaker in this specific case, since 55 Amp breakers are not readily available. The intent of 14-50 was to have both 120 and 240 volts available, as some appliances required that. The company has over 30,000 charging stations with over 47,000. If you are wiring up a 14-50, you may well terminate the white conductor on the back of the receptacle and back at the panel, however it would not be used in most applications. Tesla SAEJ1772 EV Plug SAEJ1772 EV Plug Connector Type Tesla Charging. The wall unit, if wired directly does not use the white, or neutral conductor. Do not use the white conductor as a ground. For the 240 Volt circuit you need line1 and line 2 and a ground. Please do not follow this from a previous post. I think it's rated at 60 Amps max, but the most you'll draw is 48 Amps car will never draw more then this over AC." You can get the wire from HomeDepot, it's #6 3 conductor with a ground which you won't use. "If your power panel has room for the 60 Amp circuit breaker I would do the Tesla Wall Charger. The company faces competition from Tesla and other EV network builders, while also grappling with recent leadership changes and inventory-related charges.
