About Tesla Wall Connector - Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger - Level 2 - up to 48A with 24 Cable
Overall Feedback:
76% positive
94% praised the fast charging speed, while 6% experienced lacking
The charging station defaults to 48 amps max power, but I wired it up with 50 amp 6awg. It should start at mid power and adjust up.
90% liked the universal compatibility
I suggest that the most compatible EVSE would have no smart features or Wi-Fi. I have used a Clipper Creek EVSE with an adapter to charge my Tesla without any issue and it works with J1772 cars. I plan to buy another one as it is likely to be compatible with all cars with an adapter or otherwise.
90% appreciated the durable construction, yet 10% experienced issues
I have a Clipper Creek EVSE that works with J1772 cars and I have used it with an adapter to charge a Tesla without any issue.
I am dissatisfied with the quality of the J1772 plastic as it looks cheap compared to the overall quality of the station.
I am dissatisfied with the durability of the electric-vehicle-charging-stations. The wall mount is flimsy, the charger itself is not heavy duty and constructed of light plastic, and the clamp and water gasket are not properly built and may not withstand a hard rain.
91% found it easy to use, but 9% had difficulties
I have been using the Tesla-branded charger for the past 3 months without any issues.
I have complained that the wire clamp is not properly built.
85% appreciated the maintenance needs, but 15% didn't
I am concerned about the water gasket as it may not be reliable and withstand a hard rain.
Be careful with the torque setting of your drill as the plastic of the wirebox is cheap and the screw holes are really tiny, which can easily crack the plastic.
81% praised the safety features, though 19% faced issues
I have complained that the Wall Connector overrides the delay charge time of departure and starts charging immediately, making it difficult to set the car back to delay charge for time of departure with the screen in the car or with the phone app.
