2022年4月6日 · This is an update to my post about connecting Tesla Wall Connector to 14-50 outlet. My electrician made this connection using a 60A breaker and appropriate wire but using a 14-50 outlet and pigtail connected to the wall connector. He told me it …

2018年5月1日 · $600. I'm based in NJ. I had an open 50 amp breaker so all the electrician had to do was install the NEMA 14-50 outlet underneath the service panel which is located right inside my garage. Note that was a 3rd party contractor that was certified by Tesla. He had to take pictures and send them off to Tesla of the installation.

2018年7月31日 · Personally, I plan to roll with a weatherproof NEMA 14-50 mounted underneath the porch adjacent to my driveway (I have no garage), so that will require a GFCI breaker. Worst case, if this setup proves problematic, I'll replace the NEMA 14-50 with a hardwired Wall Connector and swap out the breaker, but hopefully it won't come to that.

2018年10月11日 · Yep - even thinking down the road, what if you add a second EV or Model 3. I don't fully understand the WC, but I know multiple can run on the same circuit and split the load, so could run 2 on the 50 amp and deliver charge to both cars without having to plug only one in at a time and still get a decent charging rate, vs sharing one charger between two cars.

2018年10月18日 · Deploying a 14-50 over a 6-50 is a waste of copper and $ since there is not an EV in North America that uses the neutral for 240V charging, in fact, the neutral prong is dead on the adapter and is not recognized by the car for 240V charging (rant over). Here is some info that I picked up from some sites on the internet over the years.

2019年3月11日 · I think a 14-50 outlet requires 6/3 w/ground Romex cable. Even though the Tesla UMC does not use the 3rd wire, the 14-50 outlet should be wired properly in case someone want to use the outlet for another device. I am sure others will …

2021年6月30日 · One other thing to check is where the NEMA 14-50 adapter plugs into the Mobile Connector. After unplugging from the outlet, pull the adapter apart from the Mobile Connector, then re-seat it FIRMLY. It takes a good bit of effort to seat it completely - make sure it's pushed in the whole way.

2019年3月25日 · On top of cable management, as with many plugs, if it were to start unplugging for tension on the line it would leave exposed live terminals. For smaller plugs this isn't a big problem but for bigger ones like 6-30 and 14-50 it matters such that foreign objects are more likely to fall on those exposed terminals from the top.

2018年10月27日 · The UMC knows that it's plugging in to a 14-50 receptacle, but it can't know whether the circuit is rated for 40A or 50A so Tesla has to assume a 40A circuit. As an aside, The NEC limits the current for a continuous load (like EV charging) to 80% of the circuit capacity - 80% of 50A is 40A (the Gen I UMC), and 80% of 40A is 32A (the Gen II UMC).
