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.

Here you can view charging options and understand what is right for you.

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:

  1. Find an Electrician
    Enter your zip code in the Find an Electrician tool to locate an installer in your area.
  2. 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.
  3. Order Your Equipment
    Once you have a quote from an electrician, order your home charging equipment online.
  4. Schedule Your Installation
    Forward your Order Shipment Confirmation email to your chosen electrician and schedule your installation date directly.

Cost

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.

Typically included:

  • Professional installation service and materials
  • Permit
  • Inspection
  • Installation warranty

Typically additional:

  • Long wire run (distance from electrical panel to installation site)
  • Additional sub panel
  • Trench (underground wires)
  • Main panel upgrade
  • Pedestal installation
  • Hiding cables behind walls

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.

Apartments and Condos

Note: Always make sure you have approval to install home charging.

Increasingly, condos and 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.

Additionally, incentives may be available to you or your building property manager to alleviate cost, at the federal, state, county, municipal and utility levels. Home charging related incentives can be found at the U.S. Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center.

We offer the following templates to help get these conversations started with your building manager or HOA:
