Setup
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all items listed in the "What's in the Box" section are present.
2. Power Connection
- For Level 2 charging (240V, 16A, 3.68kW), connect the NEMA 6-20 plug directly into a compatible 240V NEMA 6-20 outlet.
- For Level 1 charging (120V, 12A, 1.32kW), use the provided NEMA 5-15 adapter with the NEMA 6-20 plug and connect it to a standard 120V NEMA 5-15 outlet.
This image illustrates the two charging modes: Level 2 (240V) using a NEMA 6-20 outlet and Level 1 (120V) using a NEMA 5-15 outlet.
This diagram clarifies compatible NEMA outlets (5-15, 6-20) and those requiring an adapter (e.g., NEMA 14-50).
3. Vehicle Connection
Ensure your electric vehicle is compatible with the NACS connector. The charger is designed for all Tesla Models (S/X/3/Y) and other NACS-compliant EVs.
This image displays the NACS connector and lists compatible electric vehicle models, including Tesla and other NACS-compliant vehicles.

Troubleshooting
- Charger Not Activating: Ensure the power plug is fully inserted into the wall outlet and the NACS connector is securely plugged into the vehicle's charging port. Check the wall outlet for power.
- Circuit Breaker Trips: If the circuit breaker trips, it may indicate an overloaded circuit or an issue with the electrical wiring. Reduce the charging current setting on the charger or consult a qualified electrician to assess your electrical system. Some vehicles also allow adjusting charging speed via their app.
- Charging Interruption: If charging stops unexpectedly, check for loose connections at both the wall outlet and the vehicle. Verify that there are no power outages or issues with the vehicle's charging system.
- Error Messages: Refer to the charger's display for any error codes or messages. Consult the support section for further assistance if an error persists.
- Slow Charging: Ensure you are using the appropriate power outlet (NEMA 6-20 for Level 2, NEMA 5-15 for Level 1 with adapter) and that the current setting on the charger is optimized for your vehicle and power source.
