The outlet will need to be run at least 35 feet across the house for the 24ft long wall connector cable to be able to reach the car when parked in the driveway 2. My breaker is on the opposite side of my house than the drive way. Especially if you are driving a gas guzzler like me you will recoup that cost in no time. There are a few different factors that are making me worry this will be very expensive: 1. Given my current car is getting 13.8mpg, I will recoup the cost within 2.5 to 3 months and start seeing the economical (and convenience) benefits of at home charging by New Years.Īnyway, for anyone else in the future who is unfamiliar with all this and assumes its going to be super expensive, its really not that bad.
#Tesla wall connector install
Had the box been right next to the driveway install would have been really cheap.
Being that the driveway is on the opposite side of my house, that makes up the majority of the cost. I am not very familiar with a ton of this stuff or the terminology but essentially the electrician said since i have a brand new 200amp breaker and all my fuses can be 'twinned' I have plenty of room/capacity and it mostly comes down to how far the line needs to run. The cost ended up being way lower that I thought at $1600 total ($400 for the wall connector and $1200 for install). Update on this for people in the future who find themselves in a similar situation. I know I will get a quote very soon but at what point does the cost involved make getting the wall connector not worth it? a big reason i am getting an EV is for the savings related to electricity vs gas but if i have to dump thousands into getting a home charger should i just rely on superchargers? if anyone has had a similar experience i would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer. My breaker is also completely full and does not have any available slots The outlet will need to be run at least 35 feet across the house for the 24ft long wall connector cable to be able to reach the car when parked in the drivewayĢ.

Later this week I am having an electrician coming to see how much it would cost to install a wall connector at my house in preparation of getting my M3. Hi, Just curious to see if anyone has any insight on this.
