How To Install A 220V / 240V EV Electric Car NEMA 14-50 Charger

Version 3
Every Tesla vehicle is delivered with a Mobile Connector and adapter to
plug into a 240 volt NEMA 14-50 outlet. This is a standardized receptacle,
commonly used for electric ranges and other large appliances.
Installed with a 50-amp circuit breaker (40a in this particular video), the NEMA 14-50 enables a
recharge rate of about 32 kilometers per hour for Model X and 37
kilometers per hour for Model S.
This guide provides technical details for a NEMA 14-50 outlet intended for
use with a Tesla vehicle. Every installation is custom to its location, so all
hardware will be sourced by the hired electrician.
We recommend plugging in every day to top off the battery of your Tesla.
