Tesla Wall Connector EV Home Charger Installed in Christchurch, $1,673 All Up
Tesla's own charger with the long 7.3m cable. We fit it for $1,673 supplied and installed, or $873 if the car came with one.
Why We Fit Tesla Wall Connector
Half the Tesla Wall Connectors we fit were bought by the owner before they called us, so the install-only price of $873 is the one to remember. The Gen 3 unit is slim, quiet and has a 7.3m tethered Type 2 cable, which comfortably reaches either side of a double garage or out to a car parked on the drive. It charges at up to 7.4kW on single-phase and up to 11kW on three-phase.
Despite the badge, it works with most non-Tesla EVs sold in New Zealand because the cable is a standard Type 2. What you do not get is whole-house load management, so if your switchboard is full or your mains are small we will say so and suggest a DLB-equipped alternative rather than quote a board upgrade.
- 7.3m cable, the longest in our range as standard
- 4-year residential warranty
- Power sharing between up to six Wall Connectors on one circuit
- Works with Type 2 EVs from other brands, not just Teslas

Tesla Charging at Home, Answered
Tesla Home Charger Options
The usual Tesla home charger is Tesla's own Wall Connector Gen 3, which we supply and install for $1,673 with its 7.3m cable. It is not the only choice. Every Tesla sold new in New Zealand has a Type 2 port, so any Type 2 wall charger works, and some owners pick an Evnex or a Zappi for load management or solar.
The Tesla Home Charger Price
The Tesla home charger price for the Wall Connector on its own is $800. Fitted, it comes to $1,673 including GST, the dedicated circuit, up to 10m of cable and your Certificate of Compliance.
What Moves the Tesla Home Charger Cost
Most of the Tesla home charger cost is fixed. What moves it is distance and the board: a long run from the switchboard, a trench to a detached garage or an old fuse board can add to the $1,673 figure. Each extra appears on the written quote before you say yes, so the number you agree to is the number on the invoice.
Already Own the Wall Connector?
If the unit is already in your garage, the cost to install Tesla wall charger hardware is $873, the same flat labour price as any other charger. That covers mounting, the circuit, the isolator, a live test with the car and the CoC. Plenty of Tesla owners pick one up with the car, so this is the number most of them need.
The Portable Tesla Cable Versus the Wall Connector
People asking about the cost to install Tesla charger equipment are sometimes thinking of the Mobile Connector, the portable cable. That plugs into a normal socket and needs no installation, though it charges at socket speed. For proper home charging the Wall Connector is the one to price.
How a Tesla Charger Install Runs
A Tesla charger install follows our usual routine: four photos, a fixed price, then 3 to 5 hours on site. The Wall Connector needs Wi-Fi for updates and power sharing, so we connect it to your network and finish the commissioning with you before we pack up.
What You Need to Install a Tesla Charger at Home
To install Tesla charger at home you need a dedicated 32A circuit, a spot within reach of the charge port on the rear left of the car, and somewhere sensible to hang the cable. Most Christchurch garages tick all three. Where the board is busy, a load-managed charger can be the better Tesla choice, because the Wall Connector does not watch the whole house.
Who Can Do It
Installing Tesla wall charger units is prescribed electrical work in New Zealand, so a registered electrician has to do it and issue a Certificate of Compliance. Tesla keeps its own list of certified installers, but any registered electrician can fit one properly. What matters is the circuit behind it and the paperwork after it.
Does the Car Need to Be Home?
A common Tesla install wall charger question is whether the car needs to be there on the day. It helps. We plug it in at the end, check it charges at full rate and set the charging limits with you, which takes ten minutes and saves a callback later.
Searching From Canterbury?
If you searched install Tesla wall charger near me from Christchurch, Selwyn or Waimakariri, you are inside our area. We cover Rolleston to Rangiora and Banks Peninsula at the same prices, with no travel charge and installs any day of the week.
Two Teslas, One Driveway
A Tesla home charging station is simply the Wall Connector on its own circuit. More than one Wall Connector can share a supply using Tesla's power sharing, which is handy when a second Tesla joins the driveway.
Mobile Connector or Wall Connector
The Tesla car charger for home that many owners start with is the Mobile Connector. On a 10A socket it adds roughly 10km of range an hour. The Wall Connector adds 30 to 40km an hour on single-phase, which is the difference between a full car every morning and a car that never quite catches up.
Our Pick for Tesla Drivers
The best home charger for Tesla owners is usually the Wall Connector, because it matches the car, has a long cable and is well priced at $1,673 installed. With solar, or a full switchboard, a Zappi or an Evnex with load management can be the better fit, and the car charges from it just the same.
