Welcome to the ultimate Tesla Model 3 electric car EV home charging guide
One of the most hotly anticipated EVs on the Australian market, the Model 3 had around 40,000 pre-orders in Australia and NZ alone and it took almost 3 years for them to be delivered.
The Model 3 is also the brand (and car) that has influenced so many people's decision to go electric; and sent other major car manufacturers scrambling to release a competitively priced, ranged and sized EV that will entice Aussie and NZ drivers.

Using our national network of professional and qualified electricians, we can organise for your Tesla-supplied HPWC to be installed anywhere - nationally in Australia and New Zealand. But, we also have some other great EVSE charging options for you too.
So, let's have a look at how you get the best out of your Tesla Model 3 with intelligent and solar-aware EV charging options.
What's the best EV charger for your Tesla Model 3?
Well, the Zappi of course!
Our team knows that, without a doubt, having the right EV charging equipment to charge your Tesla at home and in your boot is vital to a positive electric car driving experience.
When you buy a Tesla Model 3, it is supplied with a wall charging station or High Power Wall Connector (HPWC) for home charging and a portable electric car charger or Universal Mobile Connector (UMC) for when you're out and about.
The UMC arrive in the boot of your Tesla Model 3 when you get it, so while you will be able to charge from a general power outlet or GPO using the UMC it will take up to 40 hours to charge from flat. Hardly a positive first experience. For this reason we typically recommend the Zappi electric car charger
Tesla UMC
Takes up to 40 hours for a full charge
Tesla HPWC
No eco-smart or solar-aware function
Want to top up while out and about? Here's our best selling public charging cable the Tesla Model 3
Tesla Model 3 Type 2 Charging cable - Type 2 to Type 2
for untethered public Ev Chargers
This Tesla Model 3 Type 2 charging cable will add 22Kw / or120 km for every hour of charge.
This charging cable is for every Mennekes Type 2 vehicle to enable safe and secure charging from public ‘untethered’ charge points.
There is a trend for public type 2 charger stations to be untethered; this means the chargepoint has no in-built cable. The result is reduced maintenance and damage, as well as reduced liability for the owner of the electric car charging station.
If there is no permanently electric car charging cable attached to the charger then there is less risk of it being driven over or generally being abused. Think air hose in a servo. They are otherwise known as BYO cable chargers.
