Tesla Wall Connector Installation in Thomastown
Completed in Thomastown, this residential EV charger installation included installation of a customer-supplied Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector for a Tesla Model 3 Performance, with a dedicated EV charging circuit, required RCBO/RCD protection, charger commissioning, testing and Certificate of Electrical Safety.
Project Overview
This Thomastown installation was a residential Tesla Wall Connector installation for a customer preparing for regular home charging of a Tesla Model 3 Performance.
The customer already had the Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector and wanted the garage charging setup checked properly for safe continuous EV charging. Rather than relying on an existing 10A power point, the correct approach was to install a dedicated EV charging circuit with the required electrical protection.
Because EV charging places a continuous load on the electrical system, the installation needed to be completed with proper consideration of the switchboard, circuit protection, earthing arrangement and charger location.

What the Client Needed
The client needed a dedicated home EV charging setup for a Tesla Model 3 Performance.
A standard 10A power point can be useful for occasional charging, but it is not the best long-term option for regular EV charging. EV charging can run for long periods, so the circuit, outlet, protection and switchboard arrangement need to be suitable for continuous load.
The client wanted the existing garage charging setup reviewed and wanted the Tesla Wall Connector installed properly on the garage wall.
What We Installed
This project included:
Installation of customer-supplied Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector
Review of the existing garage outlet and switchboard arrangement
Dedicated EV charging circuit from the existing switchboard to the nominated charger location
Required RCBO/RCD protection for the EV charger circuit
Charger mounting on the garage wall
Tesla Wall Connector setup and basic commissioning
Testing and verification of the EV charging circuit
Certificate of Electrical Safety
The Tesla Wall Connector was installed as a dedicated home charging solution, giving the customer a cleaner and more suitable charging setup for daily use.
Why This Setup Worked Well
This setup worked well because the charger location was close to the existing switchboard area, allowing for a clean and practical garage installation.
The Tesla Wall Connector is a strong option for Tesla owners who want a simple, reliable and convenient home charging setup. It provides a dedicated charging point, avoids reliance on a general-purpose power outlet, and gives the customer a neater long-term solution for daily EV charging.
For a Tesla Model 3 Performance, a dedicated wall connector is a better fit than relying on a standard 10A outlet. It allows the electrical installation to be designed specifically around EV charging, with the correct circuit and protection in place.
Switchboard and Protection Considerations
Before installing an EV charger, the switchboard and existing electrical setup need to be checked properly.
For this installation, the existing board arrangement was reviewed before proceeding. The EV charger circuit was installed with the required protection, and the final installation was tested and verified before handover.
This is an important part of any EV charger installation. A wall charger should not just be mounted and connected without confirming the circuit, protection, earthing and switchboard suitability.
The Outcome
The finished result was a clean Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector installation in Thomastown, giving the client a dedicated home charging setup for their Tesla Model 3 Performance.
The charger was mounted neatly on the garage wall, commissioned for use, and installed with the required dedicated circuit, protection, testing and Certificate of Electrical Safety.
The customer now has a proper Tesla home charging solution suitable for regular everyday use.
