EV1 is a locally owned and operated EV charging and EV charger installation company.   We have operated in the EV charging industry since 2020, when the growth and need for an EV charging specialist was evident.  The company was founded on the principles of expertise, excellent knowledge, and customer service.  

We are also EV owners and have driven plenty of Tesla, so we know all about the world of home EV charging installations and EV chargers.

Growing Demand for Tesla EV Charger Installations in Orange County

The growth of Tesla vehicles in Orange County has been explosive.  From the roads, golf courses, and shopping malls of Irvine to the stylish, luxury homes of Coto and Talega, thousands of Tesla vehicles are on the road.    Unfortunately, the pace of Tesla Destination Chargers and Tesla Super Chargers has not kept pace with the growth in sales of Tesla EVs.  The Chargers at Target, in various downtowns, and at outlets are often busy, leading homeowners in Orange County to install their own Tesla EV chargers in their homes.   The garage is generally the favorite location for a Tesla home charger installation.

Tesla Wall Connector and Home Charger Options

With the growth in Tesla and the addition of long-range electric versions of the Model Y and X, there has been a huge growth in the number of Tesla home EV charger installations for the two main residential EV chargers, namely the Tesla Universal Wall Connector and the Tesla Wall Connector.   The other popular Tesla charger is the more versatile and movable Tesla Mobile Connector, which has a 240-volt and 120-volt charging adapter.  Most of the Tesla home chargers installations that we do are for the 

A Tesla Wall Connector is the most common type of home EV installation request since it combines power with connectivity and retails for around $130 less than the Universal Wall Connector.  The power, technology, and longevity of the Tesla brand are all compelling reasons to go for this brand of charger.  The other non-Tesla EV chargers on the market.

Benefits of Installing a Tesla EV Charger in Orange County

Here is what we like about the Tesla range of home chargers.

  1. Super high power, 240 volt 48 amp charger.  This is the fastest home charger available for most service panels, resulting in charge times of 6-10 hours for a typical Tesla.  In other words, you can wake up with a full charge and around 280 miles of EV driving range per day and avoid the lines at the Super Charger commercial charging stations.
  2. Good cable charging lengths so that you can reach most places in the garage and the driveway. The Gen 2 Tesla Wall Connector is 24 feet, and the Gen 3 Tesla Wall Connector is 18 feet.  This is adequate in most situations such as garage or driveway charging.
  3. Choice.  The Gen 3 Wall connector is provided as a hard-wired installation (slightly more power), and the mobile connector offers a plug-in unit, which is more than sufficient for daily charging.  Both are ideal for any Orange County Tesla home charging installation.
  4. Easy connectivity to home wi-fi and Bluetooth and broader connectivity and integration into Tesla’s charging network.  We also understand that the Wall and Universal Wall Connectors have over-the-air software update capability.
  5. Fast, 48 amp, 11.5 kilowatt per hour charging for both the Wall Connector and Universal Wall Connector.  This is the fastest home charging speed.
  6. Robust, reliable EV charging for indoor or outdoor use.    Many installs are in fact done outside (we all know those packed orange county homes with e-bikes and surfboards).
  7. Solar integration capability is available, such as with the Tesla power wall.  This enables a complete off-grid solution or energy-efficient solution whereby power generated during the day is stored in the power bank and then used by the Tesla charger to charge the car’s battery at night.
  8. Adjustable power outlet.   Some homeowners like to dial down the power to match the car’s charging rate or pull less power during peak hours when electricity is cheaper.
  9. Power sharing capability.  This means that a single circuit can power two Tesla chargers. This avoids the costs of a second circuit breaker and potential panel upgrades.

We have not identified too many downsides with Tesla Chargers is that the most recent charger versions have a small charging cable length compared to other commercially available EV chargers, typically 25 feet.  We have also heard of complaints related to cable stiffness, especially in cold conditions.  Price-wise, the Tesla EV chargers are at the higher end of the market.

Our electricians are very familiar with all home Tesla EV charger installations, and we install many Mobile, Universal, and Wall Tesla home chargers.

For Orange County Tesla Owners,  the Tesla range provides a high technology, sleek, and reliable charging solution to high quality, waterproofing, and electrical safety standards.
