TESLA J1772 WALL CONNECTOR REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This review examines the Tesla J1772 Wall Connector, a 40-amp charging station notable for adopting the industry-standard J1772 connector instead of Tesla's proprietary one. The reviewer highlights its robust build quality, a comfortable and well-designed J1772 connector, and the return of a 24-foot cable, a significant improvement over the Gen 3 model's shorter offering. Key features include adjustable power delivery in 4-amp increments and the capability for power sharing among up to four identical units. However, a major drawback is the inability to power share with Tesla's Gen 3 Wall Connector. The reviewer also notes the unit's NEMA 3R rating, which is adequate for outdoor use but less robust than NEMA 4 for severe weather. A significant concern is the unit's mysterious disappearance from Tesla's website shortly after its release, leaving its future availability uncertain. Despite this, the reviewer praises its value at $417, considering its features, build, and safety certifications.
