Mind me asking the cost of the install?I have used Meridian Center Electric in Puyallup for years. They installed 2 Tesla wall chargers for me this spring.
One reason to run a neutral wire, but not use it for the Tesla HPWC, is in case you decide to move at some future date and take the charger with you. That way you can re-terminate the wiring with a NEMA 14-50 outlet and then the next resident can use that for EV charging no matter what the vehicle brand.Whomever you pick, here are two important factors for you to consider:
Just points to ponder.
- Assuming you are planning to run a 60A circuit (so you can charge at 48A) make sure the correct wire is used. It is not at all uncommon for electricians to run wire rated at 55-amps (#6 Romex, for example). This is fine if someone were using something like a welder, but your car will pull 48A for a long time and thus must comply with the 80% rule e.g. 55A * 80% = 44A, which is the maximum allowed - so you will need to set the WC to 50A and not 60A. If True 60A wire is used, then you are fine.
- The other is the WC only requires 2-conductor wire (Hot-Hot-Ground). Some people feel the need to future proof and run 3-conductor wire so they can support other solutions. Personally, I think this a waste of money as every 240V EV charger I can think of only needs 2-condutor. But wiring is usually the expensive part, so consider.

Sorry for the delay. We paid $1293.68 including tax and permits, though one of the installs was an upgrade of an existing NEMA 14-50 to a Tesla Wall Connector. Meridian Center isn't the cheapest, but I have been very satisfied with their work. They did all the wiring for our home.Mind me asking the cost of the install?
