Why We Chose Tesla Wall Connectors
Faster Charging: These connectors charge your Tesla quicker than standard options.
Convenience: They allow you to keep the mobile connector in your car for charging when you’re out.
Aesthetics: They look great in any garage, providing a modern and clean look compared to regular plugs.
Adapting to Home Power Limits
We encountered a limitation with the 100-amp electrical service in the house. To tackle this issue, we installed an Electrical Vehicle Energy Management System (EVEMS).
This intelligent system monitors the energy consumption of the house and regulates the power usage of the car charger to prevent any overloading.
In addition, these two wall connectors share power from one circuit. They adjust the power distribution based on each car’s charging needs.
Installation Challenges and Solutions
Cable Routing: We carefully ran the cable from the electrical panel, through the basement, and into the mechanical room without damaging the home’s drywall.
In the Garage: We used PVC conduit for durability and added a small subpanel for better power management.
Commissioning: We set up the chargers to work with the home’s WIFI and calibrated them for optimal charge rates and power-sharing.
Final Touches of the Tesla EV Charger in West Hillhurst, Calgary
We mounted the chargers against a matte blackboard, which not only serves a practical purpose but also significantly enhances the visual appeal of the garage.
The stark contrast between the chargers and the dark background creates an eye-catching feature, lending the space a modern and stylish edge.
This backdrop is functional and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring the chargers remain prominent and the area maintains a clean look with minimal maintenance.
Outcome
