When the very first Tesla home chargers hit the market in late 2012, they were seen as an unrealistic and impractical investment for the average homeowner. As Tesla’s innovative technology was introduced to everyday consumers, the electric vehicles’ home charging stations were expensive, with a complicated installation process. As the brand’s technology has developed throughout the last decade, Tesla’s home chargers have become more accessible to the average consumer, with the process of installing a home charger being easier and more cost-effective than ever before. Are you a Tesla owner looking to install a home charging station? Here’s everything you need to know!
Benefits of a Tesla Home Charging Station
If you are lucky enough to own a Tesla, installing a home charging station has many benefits. A few of the many reasons to consider making this investment include:
Convenience
A home charger allows you to charge your electronic vehicle from the comfort of your home whenever you want. This means no more waiting around for your vehicle to charge at a public station. Plus, home chargers will charge your vehicle faster than a regular power outlet that you would find at a public charging station.
Savings
The cost of using public charging stations can add up over time. While installing a home charger might seem expensive upfront, you can expect to save a considerable amount of money on the cost of charging your vehicle in the long run.
Added Safety
Ensure that your vehicle is charged and ready to drive before heading out the door by charging your vehicle from the comfort of your own home!
The Cost of a Tesla Charging Station
The cost of a home charging station for your Tesla can vary depending on the type of charger you install. There are three different kinds of Tesla home charging stations:
Basic Charger
This basic charger includes a 50 amp car outlet and costs $1,500 on average.
Average Charger
This is the most cost-effective type of Tesla home charger. The average charger includes a 50 amp outlet for your car charger and running conduit around the home, and costs $2,500.
High End Charger
This luxurious charging option costs about $4,000 and includes a 50 amp upgraded car charger and running conduit around the home.
