TESLAJC
With the price drops of EVs and the benefits of FBT exemption, surely a lot of OZBargainers have picked one up. if you dont have a home "fast charger" yet, this might be a good time. $51 discount is better than nothing at all.

Installation fee is case by case.
click "install for me" gives you that price on the website when you select that option so don't know why people dont' like facts?
U don't have to use Jetcharge for installation.
No it's not. I've had installation quoted at $250.
did you go on the website and select "install for me"? this is where the price 1790 comes from the actual website!!
from what company? all the quotes I received where around the $1700-$$2200 range (charger + installation)
$51 discount is better than nothing at all.
Way to sell it to me
Teslas learning to be greedy like with apple accessories 😂
Actually the Tesla charger is one of the cheapest decent no frills chargers available - it unfortunately lacks any smart charger functions or OCCP so if you have solar panels and a non Tesla EV it isn't as compelling
Has this been backed by Tesla? If not, then safer to assume it's not happening.
Stay focused on cake, stay away from cars.
I got mine installed for $100
Sparky charged me another $150 for the RCBO.The same charger with safety cert
$250 only, mate's rate?
Typical installation fee is from $500 onward.I bought my Tesla for $200.
where from? sick of the nearly $2k quotes
Those people who quoted those low prices for installation must be done by friends.
Like I've said, typical installation is from $500 to $1000. More if you want to install the wall charger far away from the main switchboard.Depending on your situation 2k isnt necessarily a bad price.
Mine needed 6mm cable, which wholesale at the time was around $4/m when buying a 100m roll.
Also had to cut concrete to get across the driveway and get under the house to run the cable. It was essentially a days work, on a weekend, plus hundreds in materials.
Or just get a 32a socket installed and buy a $200 charger.
I was waiting for the first person to say this!
was it worth the wait?
Many have suggested this before. Is this not a more straightforward method, if not cheaper? Genuine question though it doesnt affect me.
@H8Pootin: 32a socket installation + cable + adapter
vs
Gen3 connector + installation 🤔Surely the Gen3 wall connector has more functionality… but at what cost?
Also not sure if single phase and 3 phase make a difference either. Tesla's max out at 11kw AC charging.
@neezy: Single phase will typically only go to 7.2kw. 3 phase up to 22kw, assuming the onboard AC charger can handle that much. As you say, most Teslas are limited to11kw.
Need to be more specific. Get a 32 amp 5 pin socket with a portable charger with changeable tail. While I did contemplate such device there was a lack of smart features compared to a wall charger.
Which $200 charger?
I did this but wouldn't do it again. The socket + pigtail chews up any potential savings. Having had an EV now for 2 years I wouldn't dream of not having a charger hanging in the garage 24/7 and have never unplugged it, so may as well have just got the Tesla Wall Charger. If I needed a good portable charger with a 32A connection, the Tesla UMC isn't the best choice. Overall this is a good idea in theory and on a spreadsheet, but with 2 years experience under my belt its not what I recommend to people who ask :-)
YMMV! Peace
Had mine for 3 years and agree.
2 years and have been using socket + pigtail but PITA to connect disconnect! Have just got the gen3 - any good installers in Sydney ?
@Maxdax: haha so it's not just me!
I really admire the people who came up with the idea and they mean well, but on every post & forum it seems to be the ultimate solution, until you actively live with it and it's just not a great idea. I'm sure it is an OK solution for some.
2 years on and I've also never used the UMC I also bought to leave in the car (I was paranoid, so it REALLY wasn't a good setup). It still has the plastic wrap on it. I have used the Type-2 cable quite a bit though, that's been handy.
We're moving soon so will need a new charger but I am hanging out for Sigenergy's DC charging unit, I'm hoping it will be released by the time our build is finished.
It chews up some savings but certainly not all of them and is cheaper than installing a dedicated charger. To each their own. I know plenty who seem happy with their zappi (for eg) but it'd never pay itself off for me smart features or not.
I'm currently building and want to future proof for charging EV vehicles. Is there any reason why I shouldn't get a Tesla Wall Charger?
you can always go for cheaper wall charger, doesn't have to be Tesla branded.
https://www.evswitchstore.com.au/pages/ev-charger-rangeif you're building and want to future proof the house for future EV (if you don't already own one).
Ask the electrician to run a 10mm 3C cable from the meter box to where you intend to install the wall charger.I've already requested for pre-wiring to be done to the garage to allow for an EV charger to be installed after handover. Just wondering if I should consider a different EV charger when I do install it? My partner has a Tesla but I'm not opposed to getting a non-Tesla in a couple of years.
The Gen 3 will charge any EV, not just a Tesla.
If you dont need a charger immediately, pre-wire and then just wait and see whats available when the time comes. Never know what advances there will be between now and then. If you need one now, I'd look at something like the Zappi that has CT's on your mains and will match charging rate to solar production (assuming you have solar). I like this over something like ChargeHQ as its not cloud dependent.
@IXXI: Yes, I will have solar panels. Zappi looks to be about double the cost of the Tesla charger so I'm not sure the cost/benefit works out when the latter can smart charge using solar as well.
@orly: The latter can only charge on solar if you a) have a powerwall installed, or b) Pay for a cloud based subscription service such as ChargeHQ. When compared to spending $14k odd on a battery, or and endless subscription based model, then I think the Zappi is reasonably attractive, but of course, YMMV. Unless there is some other way of coupling to solar production with this charger that I am unaware of, which is entirely possible.
@IXXI: Doesn't the Tesla charger utilise power generated by solar panels during the day (although not exclusively through solar because it draws a higher kWh and because of inefficiencies)? Do you mean getting a powerwall to charge by battery at night?
@orly: If you want to limit the charging profile to exactly match the output of your solar panels, then the only way that this charger (to the best of my knowledge) can do so is with the two scenarios I detailed above. If you are just going to hook it up and set a charge timer to only charge during the day, then yes, you will use your solar output first and any excess power will be drawn from the grid. There is no finessed control as such in this scenario though, if its a severely overcast day then you will just be sucking from the grid. I guess it depends what your definition of charge on solar is. If you want exclusively solar powered charging, then this unit will not do so without a powerwall (no, not for evening use, its a requirement for the Tesla "Charge on Solar" function as it uses the CT's in the gateway), or a subscription to a cloud based system that talks to you solar inverter and your tesla charger/car to limit charge rate to exactly solar production.
I have this charger installed, very happy
any recommendation for installer in western sydney who does not charge fortune to install it?
No deal, doesnt include the car, have to pay extra for that
You already have donkey, you don't need a car.
fyi the total install price is $1,790
