​
What's the best EV charger for your Tesla Model Y?
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 Y
Tesla Model Y Type 2 Charging cable - Type 2 to Type 2
for untethered public Ev Chargers
This Tesla Model Y 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.
