I have had three people in my neighborhood who have picked up their Teslas in the last two weeks, come to me this past week and ask about how to get the charging setup done in their garage.
Tesla provides them with a charging cable that has a 120V plug. They also provide a J1772 adapter. So if we need to get L2 charging setup installed in the garage, are these the two steps to be done:
- get an electrician to pull a wire with around 30 amps from the breaker and install a 220V adapter (the female part) on the garage wall
- change the 120V plug that is in the Tesla supplied cable to the 220V plug that matches the one installed in the garage wall.
Is that it? Thank you
