Porsche should get its chargers from Tesla - Gen 3 Wall Connector with J1772 plug

The Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector with J1772 plug is not shown on the Tesla website, but the product does apparently exist. Here's a YouTube link showing the new Gen 3 Wall Connector:



This video also compares the J1772 Gen 2 Wall Connector to the latest Gen 3 version. The actual plug on the new charger looks very cool.

this is a GREAT EVSE and only costs like $400 and can handle upto a 60 amp breaker - configurable from 15-60 amps - and can be configured to "share" load with any size breaker to support simultanious charging of mutliple EV's with multiple EVSE's sharing a single electrical circuit.

this is a pretty good option for $400 if you're looking to replace your $1120 now 20 amp PMCC…and could be easily hardwired into your existing NEMA 14-50/6-50 PMCC plug outlet - contact your local electrician for a reasonable quote because honestly it's trival to convert an existing 50 amp NEMA plug to a hardwired connection for this bad boy…

and since it now has a J-1772 connector on it - no TeslaTap required for it to plug into your Taycan or any other EV!!

I think we should get Porsche NA to officially endorse this as the official replacement for the now derated $1120 PMCC - I'm sure that official press release is in the works as we speak and I'll simply hold my breath while I wait for that ship to sail and hell to freeze over.

Now we just need to figure out how to order one of these.

I believe the part number for the Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector is 1509549-02-B. It is displayed at the 4:40 mark in the video above. But, it is difficult to read. I have not had any success Googling this part number trying to find a supplier for this EVSE. It would be great if someone could confirm the part number.

Edit: 17-Oct-2022. It turns out that the part number for the new Tesla EVSE actually is 1509549-02-B. If you search for this number on the Tesla "Shop" page the J1772 Gen 3 Wall Connector displays in the results.

Officially available (again), Tesla Wall Connector with J1772 plug! If I was in the market to buy an EVSE now this is what I would get. Already have a gen3 with Tesla tap.

Placed order tonight. Can't wait to get this thing installed. I wish Tesla offered the Mobile Connector with J1772 plug as well.

Yeah, I think the point of the PMCC is the M part.

This is yet another hardwired solution.

Fortunately, the cost of the Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector w/J1772 at $550 plus the Tesla Mobile Connector at $200 plus the cost to convert the Mobile Connector to J1772 (about $100) is only a fraction of the cost of a Porsche EVSE. The wall connector being hardwired is not really an issue and makes for a clean installation.

For anyone interested, here is a photo showing how the J1772 plugs on the Tesla Wall Connector and the Porsche PMC+ compare in size. The Tesla one cannot be disassembled.

the tesla one is a pleasure to hold and use - so light - so easy - so small…

It seems that Tesla hid the Gen 3 J1772 Wall Connector on their shopping site. But if you search for the part number, 1509549-02-B, in the upper right corner the charger will be displayed and you can add one to your shopping cart.
