Tesla's New Wall Connector Features Innovative "Magic Dock" Adapter

author: FutureCar Staff    

Tesla has recently introduced its Universal Wall Connector, a charging device that can conveniently charge any electric vehicle. The charger includes a North American Charging Standard (NACS) plug and an Integrated J1772 adapter. One of the key features of the Universal Wall Connector is its ability to view charging history and energy consumption through the Tesla app, which can be useful for non-Tesla owners.

The announcement of the new charger was made by Tesla through social media. Videos and the Tesla Shop page provide more information about the product. The main highlight of the Universal Wall Connector is its integrated J1772 adapter, specifically designed for charging non-Tesla electric cars.

Similar to the Magic Dock, which is available at Tesla's Supercharger stations, the Universal Wall Connector offers several innovative functions. It can add 44 miles of range per hour at 11.5 kW/48 amp output and features Wi-Fi connectivity for over-the-air software updates.

One of the most significant advantages of the Universal Wall Connector is its integration with the Tesla App. This allows users to monitor and manage their charging schedule and usage, a feature not commonly found in non-Tesla chargers. This functionality can greatly benefit electric vehicle owners in their day-to-day use.

While priced at $595, the Universal Wall Connector is more expensive than Tesla's current Wall Connector, which is priced at $475. However, considering its features and convenience, the product may be well worth the investment. Interested buyers can place orders for the Universal Wall Connector, with shipments expected to begin in October.
