not quite a dryer outlet (14-30) but this will certainly allow many more people to charge their cars faster with a far less expensive electrical wiring upgrade.

Tesla is launching today a new Wall Connector with a NEMA 14-50 plug – the automaker’s first non-hardwired Wall Connector for a home charging solution.

While most home charging station manufacturers sell products to be both hardwired and to plug into a NEMA 14-50 outlet, Tesla has stuck to its hardwired Wall Connector.

For people who already have a NEMA 14-50 outlet within reach of their parking spot or for those who don’t want to go into the trouble of installing a hardwired charging station, Tesla would simply recommend to use the mobile connector on a NEMA 14-50 outlet.

Now they are offering a second option: a Tesla Wall Connector with a 14-50 Plug.

Tesla describes the new product on its website:

“A Tesla 14-50 Wall Connector is your best charging solution with an existing NEMA 14-50 outlet. Offering a 25 percent faster charge compared to the Gen 2 Mobile Connector, the 14-50 Wall Connector is easy to use and convenient to install around your home or office.”

Here are a few images of the new Wall Connector with a 14-50 Plug:






The new version of the Wall Connector is the same price as the hardwired version: $500.

Tesla says it can charge most of its vehicles at up to 40 amps (9.6kW):

“Provides 40 amps (9.6kW) of power for all Model S, Model X and Model 3 Long Range vehicles. Model 3 Mid Range and Standard Range vehicles will charge at 32 amps when using the 14-50 Wall Connector.”

The automaker says that it has the advantage of not requiring an electrician installation, but that’s if you already have a NEMA 14-50 plug.

You can always buy the outlet and have an electrician install it before getting this new version of the Tesla Wall Connector.

So how long would it take for a full recharge? Still too long, I suspect.

Companies are working on it.
