Home Charging
The most convenient place to charge your Tesla is at home, overnight. Plug in when you get home and let your car charge while you sleep. You no longer need to take trips to the pump with a gas-powered vehicle, and you can utilize low overnight utility pricing during off-peak hours, saving both time and money.
Home Charging Options
We recommend a Wall Connector as the most dynamic home charging solution. However, there are a variety of options to suit your lifestyle and driving needs.

Installation Process and Cost
Process
We recommend installing your home charging equipment prior to taking delivery of your vehicle. Most installations will take a few hours, but finding and scheduling an electrician can take up to two weeks.
Follow these steps to successfully install home charging equipment in your home:
- Find an Electrician
Enter your postcode in the Find an Electrician tool to locate an installer in your area. - Request a Quote
After you've found electricians nearby, contact them directly and describe the installation work you need completed. Many electricians now offer quotes online and by email, making it easy to obtain multiple quotes. Ensure you receive a Certificate of Compliance following installation. - Order Your Equipment
Once you have a quote from an electrician, order your home charging equipment online. - Schedule Your Installation
Forward your Order Shipment Confirmation email to your electrician and schedule your installation date directly.

Installation pricing can vary depending on your home charging hardware and electrical system.
A straightforward installation can range from $750 - $1,500. However, if there are additional items needed to complete your installation, the price will be adjusted accordingly.

Installation Resources
Your electrician can visit the Wall Connector Support page for further information on how to install a Wall Connector.
Installation manuals and troubleshooting information for Tesla charging products can also be found on the Charging and Adapter Product Guides page.
Multi-Unit Dwellings
Note: Always make sure you have approval to install home charging.
Increasingly, apartment buildings are required by law to allow EV charging. Installing charging makes business sense, and the case will only get stronger as more people buy electric vehicles. We offer the following templates to help get these conversations started with your building manager or Strata Committee:
- Request your apartment to install EV charging in common parking spaces
- Request for approval to self-install EV charging in your deeded parking space
