Tesla Certified Installer

One home charger for your Tesla — and every other EV

The Tesla Universal Wall Connector charges at up to 48 amps and has NACS and a built-in J1772 adapter, so one charger works for every car in the driveway.

Charging levels explained

Level 1 vs Level 2 vs DC fast charging

Most homes and workplaces are best served by Level 2. DC fast charging makes sense for fleets and high-turnover public sites.

TypePowerTypical range addedBest for
Level 1120V standard outletA few miles per hourOccasional or plug-in hybrid charging
Level 2240V / 208V, up to ~19 kWAbout 20–45 miles per hourHomes, workplaces, multifamily, overnight fleets
DC fast480V three-phase, 50 kW and upHundreds of miles per hourFleet depots, retail and highway sites

Actual charging speed depends on the vehicle's onboard charger and the electrical service.

FAQ

Common questions

It depends on the distance from your panel, the charger's amperage and whether your panel has room. After a free site visit you get a fixed written price that includes the circuit, permit and installation.

Not always. We run a load calculation first. Many homes can add a Level 2 charger as-is, at a lower amperage, or with load management; if your panel is too small we'll quote the upgrade in the same project.

If you drive a Tesla — or want one charger for every EV — the Tesla Universal Wall Connector is a great choice. For businesses that need payment, access control or usage reporting, a networked commercial charger such as ChargePoint is usually the better fit. We'll recommend based on your vehicles and goals.

Most automakers are moving to the NACS (Tesla-style) connector, while many current EVs use J1772. Universal chargers with both connectors, or adapters, cover both, and we can advise on the right setup for your property.

Yes. California law gives condo owners the right to install EV chargers, subject to reasonable HOA rules. We work with the HOA on metering, routing and insurance requirements, and also design shared community charging.

Yes. We design and install networked Level 2 chargers for workplaces, retail and multifamily, fleet depots with load management, and the electrical infrastructure for DC fast charging.

Utility and state incentives for home and commercial chargers change often. We'll review the programs currently available for your property when we prepare your quote.

Most home installations take a few hours to one day. Commercial projects depend on the number of chargers, electrical service capacity and utility coordination.
