Best EV Chargers for Tesla Owners in the UK
Own a Tesla? Here are the best home charger options, including whether the official Tesla Wall Connector is your best choice.
Does Tesla Require a Special Charger?
No! All Teslas sold in the UK use the standard Type 2 connector, meaning any UK home charger will work. However, some chargers offer better Tesla integration than others.
Tesla Wall Connector
Tesla's own charger is a solid choice for Tesla owners:
- Price: £450
- Power: Up to 7kW (single phase) or 22kW (three phase)
- Cable: 7.3m (longest available)
- Features: Automatic Tesla app integration, power sharing with multiple units
Pros: Seamless Tesla integration, longest cable, good price, sleek design
Cons: Limited smart features for non-Tesla use, basic scheduling
Best Alternatives for Tesla
Ohme Home Pro - Best Smart Features
Works brilliantly with Tesla and adds features Tesla's own charger lacks:
- Full Intelligent Octopus integration
- Detailed energy cost tracking
- Solar integration
Easee One - Best Design
If you want something that looks as good as your Tesla:
- Minimalist Scandinavian design
- Great app with lifetime stats
- Future-proof technology
myenergi Zappi - Best for Solar
If you have solar panels, the Zappi's ECO modes are unmatched for maximising free solar charging.
Our Recommendation
If you only have a Tesla and want simplicity, the Tesla Wall Connector is a great choice at a good price. If you want smarter features, better tariff integration, or might have a non-Tesla EV in future, consider the Ohme or Easee.
