Wall connector Gen 3 or Gen 2? Is Gen 3 Worth it? RG Electric<\/a> will talk about it today. But before we draw up an opinion on these Tesla wall connectors, let\u2019s compare the older unit with the new one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 48 amps vs. 80 amps <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A 24-feet cable vs. an 18-feet cable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSmart\u201d charge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There isn\u2019t much difference in charging your car between the two. This relates to charging time and speed. Tesla wall connector Gen 3 is compatible with Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y and can provide 44 miles per hour of charge on a 60-amp circuit. So, If you charge your car overnight for 8 hours, the Model 3 will cover 352 miles. Yet, other models are restricted in their charging capacity. As for the cable, it is easier to handle a Tesla wall connector Gen 3 thinner and more flexible cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, wrapping this up, we can say that if you have a Gen 2 in your garage, you can continue using it without bothering yourself with buying a newer version of the Tesla charger. If you have a newer car, you can opt for Gen 3 but don\u2019t need one either way. If you have an older car that accepts 80 amps, then you definitely don\u2019t need one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yet, if you want to take advantage of Wi-Fi connectivity and charge your EV from your phone, then smart technology can outweigh the longer cable the Tesla wall connector Gen 2 has. In our view, this is the only disadvantage of the Gen 3 unit. Cost-wise, Tesla wall connectors Gen 2 and Gen 3 are in the same range, priced at $500. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you need to install a Tesla EV charger<\/a> in your garage?
