Tesla has launched a product: the Tesla Common Wall Connector. The product is ideal for non-Tesla EV patrons in North America.

The product is impressed by Tesla’s Magic Dock, a brand new adapter built-in into Supercharger stations. The Magic Dock serves because the receptor for the Supercharger deal with, however when unlocked by a non-Tesla EV proprietor, it sticks to the connector, will get out of the charging stall, and acts as a CCS adapter.

Now Tesla is doing the identical factor, however for dwelling charging and industrial stage 2 charging.

It seems to be like an everyday Tesla Wall Connector, however just like the Magic Dock, it will possibly develop into an built-in J1772 adapter:

In any other case, it has all the identical specs as Tesla’s common dwelling charging answer:

Electrek’s Take

That is going to place a variety of strain on EV charging producers in North America.

The transfer to NACS has already given Tesla a large benefit since its dwelling charging options are already less expensive than rivals, however these rivals at the least had a number of years to adapt earlier than automakers like Ford and GM absolutely undertake NACS of their EVs in 2025.

However now, that is turning into a way more enticing answer for non-Tesla EV patrons as they’re future-proofing their charging answer.

In case you are shopping for a non-Tesla EV from an automaker that has introduced the transition to NACS, which is most of them at this level, it’s irritating to purchase a J1772 charger figuring out that it’ll solely be good (at the least with out an adapter) for this automobile.

With Tesla’s new Common Wall Connector, you should utilize it now and for the following few years with the dock/adapter, however it should additionally work to your subsequent EV that can undoubtedly have NACS – no matter if it’s a Tesla or not.
