Yes. The Tesla Wall Connector is a Level 2 AC charger that runs on 208–240 V. Tesla lists a maximum output of 48 A, or 11.5 kW, on a 60 A circuit breaker. On smaller breakers it is configured for lower output. Your car’s on-board charger also limits speed, so a car that accepts 7.7 kW will not charge faster than that.
Output by Breaker (240 V)
| Breaker | Max output current | Approx. power |
|---|---|---|
| 60 A | 48 A | 11.5 kW |
| 50 A | 40 A | 9.6 kW |
| 40 A | 32 A | 7.7 kW |
| 30 A | 24 A | 5.8 kW |
| 20 A | 16 A | 3.8 kW |
Output current is 80% of the breaker rating, the standard rule for continuous EV loads.
How Many kWh Does It Use?
At 11.5 kW, one hour of charging delivers about 11.5 kWh. The total for a full charge depends on your battery; see how many kWh to charge an EV.
