Chargers and Charging Cables for Tesla and Electric Vehicles

Cable, portable charger or home charger: which is right for your Tesla?

Type 2: the standard connector for Teslas and electric cars in Europe

Every Tesla sold in Europe and the UK uses the Type 2 connector, as do most recent electric cars and plug-in hybrids. The same Type 2 cable, portable charger or home charger therefore works just as well for a Tesla as for any other electric vehicle in the household. We also offer Type 1 cables for some older or imported vehicles, and Type 3 cables for older charge points.

Which charging power should I choose?

Your vehicle always charges at the lowest rating of the socket or charge point, the cable and its on-board charger. Most recent Teslas accept up to 11 kW on AC.

Charging accessories

This category also includes adapters for the original Tesla mobile charger and signs to reserve your charging space.

Tesla and electric car charging FAQs

Do these charging solutions work with every electric car?

Yes, with every vehicle that has a Type 2 inlet: European and UK Teslas and the vast majority of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles sold in Europe.

Can I charge a Tesla from a domestic socket?

Yes, with a portable charger, provided the socket is in good condition, earthed and protected by a suitable circuit breaker. For everyday charging, a home charger is faster and safer.

Do I need an electrician to install a home charger?

Yes. A wall charger must be installed by a qualified electrician, who will also check your supply capacity and consumer unit. Depending on the country, the installation may also need to be notified to the grid operator. Charging cables and portable chargers need no installation at all.

Can I use these cables at Superchargers?

No. Superchargers and DC rapid chargers have their own tethered cable. Our charging solutions are for AC charging.
