A clean, correctly sized installation
We assess your service capacity, choose a practical cable route, mount the connector securely at a height that keeps the cable manageable, and configure the unit's amperage to the breaker actually installed. Placement is set around your charge-port side and how you park, so the cable reaches without stretching across the vehicle.
Configuration matters as much as the wiring: a Wall Connector left at a default setting above the circuit rating is a code violation and a hazard.
Wall Connector vs Universal Wall Connector
The standard Wall Connector serves Tesla vehicles with the NACS connector. The Universal Wall Connector adds an integrated J1772 adapter, so it also charges most other EVs sold in Canada — the right pick for mixed-EV households, rental properties, condo stalls and any home where the next vehicle might not be a Tesla.
Both units are rated for outdoor installation and support power sharing across multiple connectors on one circuit.
Power sharing for multiple vehicles
Up to several Wall Connectors can share a single circuit, automatically dividing available current between whichever cars are plugged in. Two EVs parked overnight both finish charging, on one circuit, without a service upgrade. This is frequently the cheapest route to two-car charging in an older home.
Do you need 48 amps?
A 48-amp Wall Connector requires a 60-amp circuit and, in many older homes, a panel upgrade. Most drivers charge fully overnight at 32 amps. If the load calculation shows 48-amp capacity, we'll install it; if it doesn't, we'll show you what a smaller circuit actually costs you in overnight range — usually nothing.

Common questions
Tesla Wall Connector: common questions
Can a Universal Wall Connector charge non-Tesla EVs?
Yes. Its integrated adapter supports J1772-equipped vehicles alongside NACS Tesla vehicles, which makes it the flexible choice for households and shared parking.
What circuit does a Tesla Wall Connector need?
It depends on the output you configure. 48-amp charging requires a 60-amp circuit; 32-amp charging requires a 40-amp circuit. The unit must be set during commissioning to match the breaker installed.
Can two Wall Connectors share one circuit?
Yes. Power sharing splits available current between connected vehicles automatically, letting a two-EV household charge overnight without additional service capacity.
How much does Tesla Wall Connector installation cost?
Most Wall Connector installations fall in the same $1,200–$2,500 range as any Level 2 charger, with the unit purchased separately from Tesla. A 60-amp circuit for 48-amp charging costs more in conductor and may require panel work.
Do I need Wi-Fi for the Wall Connector?
Wi-Fi isn't required to charge, but connecting it enables firmware updates, power sharing between units and charging data in the Tesla app. We set up the connection and confirm the unit is on current firmware before we leave.
Can a Wall Connector be installed outdoors in Ontario?
Yes. Both the Wall Connector and Universal Wall Connector are rated for outdoor installation. We mount them so the connector holster sits clear of snow build-up and roof runoff, and route cable in weather-rated conduit.
Who performs and certifies the work?
Electrical work is carried out by Breton Electrical Inc., ECRA/ESA licence #7018356, to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, and notified to the Electrical Safety Authority for inspection.
