What to do first
Confirm the vehicle inlet and adapter support.Check whether the charger version supports NACS, J1772, or both.Compare Wall Connector, Universal Wall Connector, mobile connector, and third-party options.Ask the installer to size the circuit based on the charger and panel capacity.
What to ask installers
What exact electrical work is included?Is permit handling included or separate?What charger amperage is being quoted?Is panel work, load management, or a new outlet included?What warranty applies to labor and installed equipment?
Mistakes to avoid
Assuming all NACS and Tesla-labeled products work the same way.Ignoring adapter ratings and manufacturer guidance.Choosing connector type before confirming future household EV plans.
Quote comparison
Review installation quotes using the same terms.
A useful quote should separate charger hardware, labor, panel work, permits, materials, timeline, warranty, and exclusions. If one proposal is much lower than another, ask what is not included.
