My wife just upgraded her Chevy Bolt (leased) to a new 2020 Tesla Model 3, and is loving her new baby!
We had previously had a 220v car charger installed in our garage to quickly charge the Bolt, and with the new Tesla, I have been simply using the adapter provided to plug the Tesla into our existing charger. However, this means the nice built-in features on the OEM Tesla Charge cord aren't available (the button on the Tesla charge connector to open the charge port and to unlock the charge port), so we have to dig our cell phone out to unlock the charge port every time, which is somewhat annoying.
I sense there is a way to wire the Tesla charger directly to a 220v outlet, but am too much of a "Tesla Noob" to know how to do that.
What do I need to do (buy) in order to allow me to make use of the nice Tesla charge cable to directly plug my wife's M3 into our existing 220v connection?
Thanks!
