Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector Review
The Tesla Wall Connector is a Level 2 EV charger with up to 48A output, delivering up to 44 miles of range per hour. Compatible with all Tesla models, it offers customizable amperage settings and supports indoor/outdoor installation. Wi-Fi connectivity enables over-the-air updates, while PowerShare supports multi-vehicle charging.
The Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector is an excellent charging solution for Tesla owners, offering fast and reliable performance. Compatible with all Tesla models, it provides up to 44 miles of range per hour, depending on the Tesla model and electrical setup. The charging speed is adjustable, with options for different amperage levels, ranging from 12A to 48A, allowing the charger to match your home’s power supply.
Installation is simple but requires an electrician. The connector can be installed indoors or outdoors, and the long 24-foot cord offers flexibility. It is an ideal option for those looking to charge their Tesla quickly compared to a 110V outlet, which only provides around 5 miles of range per hour. With the Wall Connector, you can achieve up to 44 miles per hour, depending on the configuration.
One standout feature is its Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling over-the-air updates and remote control, which ensures the unit stays up-to-date with the latest improvements. The Power-share feature is also valuable, allowing multiple Tesla Wall Connectors to share power efficiently if you need to charge more than one Tesla at once.
Though the Wall Connector is a higher investment, it offers great value considering the convenience and speed it adds to home charging. It’s a compact, durable, and reliable solution that integrates well into home charging setups, making it a must-have for Tesla owners.

Tesla Wall Connector Installation (Hardwired Wiring Diagrams)
The Tesla Wall Connector Hardwired Wiring Diagrams provide a detailed guide for installing the Tesla Wall Connector at various amperage levels, including the 12 Amp, 16 Amp, 24 Amp, 32 Amp, 40 Amp, and 48 Amp EV Charger configurations. These diagrams outline the appropriate wire sizes (Tesla Wall Connector terminal blocks support 12-4 AWG copper wires), circuit breakers, and conduit recommendations for each amperage setting to ensure optimal performance and safety.
In some instances, to pass inspection, you must use wires rated for at least 4 amps, regardless of the charger’s amperage setting. This ensures compliance with regulations for the Tesla Wall Connector, which allows amperage adjustments via a smartphone app. Always consult a certified EV charger installer to determine the correct wire size for your installation.
Tesla Wall Connector 48A Hardwire Wiring Diagram (60A Circuit Breaker)
The following diagram outlines the installation of a Tesla Wall Connector at 48 amps. To achieve a maximum output of 48 amps, use 4-6 AWG wires for L1 and L2, and 4-8 AWG for the ground (G). A 60A circuit breaker ensures safe operation. This setup provides a charging output of 11.56 kW. The recommended conduit size is 1 to 1 1/4 inches for wire protection.
Tesla Wall Connector 40A Hardwire Wiring Diagram (50A Circuit Breaker)
For a 40A maximum output, the Tesla Wall Connector uses 6-8 AWG wires for L1 and L2, and 6-10 AWG wires for the ground (G). The system requires a 50A circuit breaker for proper protection. This setup provides a charging output of 9.6 kW. For wire protection, the conduit size should be between 3/4 to 1-inch.
Tesla Wall Connector 32A Hardwire Wiring Diagram (40A Circuit Breaker)
To achieve a 32A maximum output, the Tesla Wall Connector should be installed using 8 AWG wires for L1 and L2, and 8-10 AWG for the ground (G). A 40A double-pole circuit breaker is required, providing a charging output of 7.68 kW. The recommended conduit size is between 3/4 to 1-inch.
Tesla Wall Connector 24A Hardwire Wiring Diagram (30A Circuit Breaker)
For a 24A maximum output, the installation requires 10 AWG wires for L1 and L2, and 10-12 AWG for the ground (G). A 30A circuit breaker ensures safe operation, providing a charging output of 5.76 kW. The conduit size should be 1/2 to 1 inch.
Tesla Wall Connector 16A Hardwire Wiring Diagram (20A Circuit Breaker)
For a 16A maximum output, use 12 AWG wire for L1 and L2, and 12 AWG for the ground (G). The system requires a 20A circuit breaker for safety, supporting a charging output of 3.84 kW. The conduit size should be between 1/2 to 1 inch.
Tesla Wall Connector 12A Hardwire Wiring Diagram (15A Circuit Breaker)
For a 12A maximum output, use 12 AWG wires for L1 and L2, and 12 AWG for the ground (G). The system requires a 15A circuit breaker for safety, supporting a charging output of 2.8 kW. The conduit size should be between 1/2 to 1 inch.
Compatible Tesla Gen 3 Charger Lock Box
We recommend adding a Tesla charger lock box to your setup for added security and organization. A lock box protects your Tesla Wall Connector from theft, weather, and damage while keeping cables neatly stored. It’s an easy upgrade that ensures your charger stays safe and secure, both indoors and outdoors.
