Tesla Wall Connector

Who the Tesla Wall Connector suits

The Wall Connector makes the most sense if you drive a Tesla. At £475 unit-only from Tesla’s UK shop it undercuts almost every name-brand rival, the 7.3 m tethered cable reaches across most driveways, and scheduling and charge tracking sit in the Tesla app you already use. It charges any EV with a Type 2 port, but non-Tesla owners give up the most: the charger has no smart-tariff integrations of its own, so automatic cheap overnight charging on Intelligent Octopus Go or OVO Charge Anytime only works through your car’s integration — which Teslas have. If you drive something else and want a smart tariff, an Ohme’s tariff-smart Home Pro earns its higher price back quickly.

Key features

• 7.4 kW on single-phase, up to 22 kW on a three-phase supply, with installer-adjustable current (6-32 A) for constrained supplies.
• 7.3 m tethered Type 2 cable — longer than most rivals fit as standard, though it’s the only option.
• Tesla app control over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi: scheduling, session tracking and over-the-air firmware updates.
• Power sharing lets up to six Wall Connectors share one circuit — useful in a two-car household; whole-home dynamic load management needs a separately purchased Tesla-approved power meter and only works on single-unit installs.
• 4-year residential warranty (12 months for commercial use), IP55-rated for outdoor mounting.
• Integrated Type A RCD with 6 mA DC detection, per Tesla’s installation manual.

What to check before you buy

• Tethered only. There’s no socketed version and no other cable length. See whether a fixed cable would suit you.
• No charger-side tariff support. It’s absent from the Octopus and OVO compatible-charger lists; Tesla drivers connect via the vehicle instead, non-Tesla drivers go without.
• No solar diversion. Tesla’s Charge on Solar feature is vehicle-led, needs a Tesla car plus a Powerwall, and works with any charger — the Wall Connector adds nothing. PV owners should look at a solar-diverting unit like the Zappi instead.
• Supply protection adds cost. There’s no built-in open-PEN protection, so most UK homes (PME supplies) need an external device or a TT earth rod — one reason a major national installer listed supply-and-install at just under £1,000 in July 2026, or around £520 install-only if you buy the unit from Tesla.
• Wi-Fi only. No Ethernet or 4G fallback, so check your 2.4 GHz signal reaches the install spot.
• Grant paperwork. It’s on the OZEV eligible list for residential installs, but the money depends on your circumstances and an authorised installer — our EV chargepoint grant guide covers who qualifies.

Evova doesn’t sell chargers. Check whether your install could be part-funded through a grant, then find a home charger installer to fit it.
