I am considering a few options for charging and want some suggestions what is optimal. Ideal would be park in the garage and charge in the garage. I cannot park in the garage, it's too full of junk (lawn mowers and snow blowers and the whole shebang).
Options.
1. Install NEMA 14-50 inside the garage. Run the mobile connector cable under the garage door.
2. Install Tesla Wall Connector inside the garage. Run the cable under the garage door.
3. Install NEMA 14-50 outside the garage on the side of the house. Use the mobile connector and unplug it when I don't need to charge.
4. Install Tesla Wall Connector outside the garage on the side of the house.
1 has the benefit of reusability. Obviously with other cars it has that reusability but also with just regular appliances, like a garage heater and so on.
2 seems unnecessary. The only benefit would be that it'd be protected from the elements, but this seems like it's not required. The wall connector will survive the harshest of Toronto winter storms (lol) correct?
3 is similar to 1 in reusability. But unsure if it's safe. Also, the mobile connector plugging it in and out in the cold could be a pain.
4 seems like the best option but it's locked to Tesla. Are there other charging cables that are good to use which can be used to charge a Tesla (through an adapter)?
Thanks!
