If you’re already sold on electric vehicles, then you would surely find the impressive performance, luxury nature, and desirable specs of Tesla cars irresistible. It’s safe to say they are every EV driver’s dream car. But there are many more important factors to consider before joining others in owning a Tesla, top of which is charging the vehicle. When you purchase an electric vehicle, you have two major options with charging. You either charge at home or charge in public. To charge at home, you’ll need to install a home charging station in your parking space. To charge in public, you’ll need to find a public charging station and charge for free or a fee.

The Two Home Charging Options- Mobile Connector – The Tesla Mobile Connector is a home charging equipment included with new Tesla vehicles as a standard charging option. You can simply plug this connector into a regular 120V outlet to charge your Tesla. The only problem is you will need it to keep it plugged the entire night.
- Wall Connector – Tesla introduced the Tesla Wall Connector to offer a Level 2 charge suitable for home use at an affordable cost from the Level 3 charging option. Tesla describes the wall connector as “Customizable to almost any power supply, the Wall Connector will provide faster-charging speeds”.
