An informational site on how to charge your North American electric vehicle (EV) at home, on trips, or at your destination. Following are the top quick recommendations, scroll down to see the index below for more questions and answers.

In 2026, all EVs sold in North America are now compatible with the NACS/Tesla standard plug, seen here, simplifying equipment considerations.

Charging At Home

The Tesla Wall Connector is the highest quality and fairest price home charger (EVSE). It uses the NACS connector which is now the single North American charging standard, and gives you features such as load sharing. If you want to use an existing 240V or 120V receptacle, use the one that came with your EV, or if you need a new home charger that can plug into a receptacle, buy the Tesla Mobile Connector

Installing A Wall Connector

If installing a new 240V circuit for a Tesla Wall Connector, install a 60A circuit. Most electricians will default to a 40A or 50A circuit, so you must tell them you want a 60A circuit. More info here.

If using a Wall Connector on a smaller circuit (like 40A or 50A), it must be configured to know about the smaller circuit using an app. See this page, second video, on how to commission a Tesla Wall Connector.

Using a Receptacle

If using a plug in car charger with either a 240V or 120V receptacle, replace the receptacle with a heavy duty one. More info on 240V/50A receptacles. More info on 120V receptacles.

Fast Charging On The Road

The Tesla Supercharger network is still by far the most reliable fast charging network in North America. The Rivian network is also highly reliable (but much smaller). Your in-car navigation system should show you where you can charge, if not, use the next two sites below.

PlugShare

PlugShare is a great site that shows you information on all kinds of EV charging from fast charging to finding hotels that have destination chargers so you can fill up overnight.
