Installing a Tesla Wall Connector at home in Australia

4 min read

The Tesla Wall Connector is comfortably the most common home charger we're asked to install — and not only by Tesla owners. If you've already bought one, the good news is simple: you don't need to buy anything else. You need a licensed electrician to install and certify it, which is exactly what we do.

What it is

In Australia the Tesla Wall Connector uses a standard Type 2 connector, so it charges Teslas and — despite the name — most other EVs too. It's a tethered wall charger (the cable is attached), delivers up to around 7 kW on single-phase power, and pairs with the Tesla app for scheduling and monitoring. It's popular for a reason: clean design, solid build, and it just works.

You bought it — we install it

Supplying your own charger is one of the most common ways our customers come to us. We treat a customer-supplied Wall Connector exactly like any other install: switchboard assessment, dedicated protected circuit, tidy cable run, safety testing, and a Certificate of Electrical Compliance at the end. If your car's still on the way, we can usually fit it before your delivery date.

Bought a Tesla Wall Connector with the car or online? Don't let it sit in the box. We install and certify customer-supplied chargers — you only pay for the installation, not another charger.

A couple of things to check

  • Single vs three-phase. Most homes are single-phase, where the Wall Connector runs at up to ~7 kW — plenty for overnight charging. Three-phase homes can charge faster if your car supports it.
  • Switchboard capacity. Older boards sometimes need attention before adding any charger. We check this up front, never on the day.

Common questions

Can you install a Tesla Wall Connector I've already bought?

Yes — installing customer-supplied chargers is one of the most common jobs we do. We assess your switchboard, run a dedicated protected circuit, safety-test it and issue a Certificate of Compliance. You only pay for the installation, not another charger.

Does the Tesla Wall Connector work with non-Tesla EVs?

In Australia it uses a standard Type 2 connector, so it charges most EVs, not just Teslas. It's a popular choice well beyond Tesla owners.

Do I need three-phase power for a Tesla Wall Connector?

No. On single-phase power — which most homes have — it charges at up to around 7 kW, which fills a full day's driving overnight. Three-phase can charge faster if your car supports it.
