I'm looking at getting a L2 charger installed for my (soon to be delivered) Model 3. I'll probably go with a 60A circuit - as I want to future-proof as we'll be getting a Rivian R1S in 2 years as well and want to be able to charge that via it's 11kW charger fairly fast.
For now - I was thinking of getting the Tesla Wall charger and then swapping it in a few years for a J1772 unit that can charge both vehicles (don't need to charge both at same time).
The price of the Tesla unit is $635 CDN and can support 60A (or higher). If I look at ChargePoint, JuiceBox, ClipperCreek, Flo - I'm paying significantly more ($900-$1200) for those units that pull less power.
I know ChargePoint/JuiceBox/Flo have apps and wifi connectivity. Does the Tesla Wall Charger integrate with the Tesla app at all? Show you charge histories and cost/etc? or is it basically a "dumb" charger in that regard aside from looking nice, not requiring an adaptor and auto locking/unlocking charge port door?
I don't need the high capacity of the Tesla unit - it just seems its the cheapest option....and I'm wondering if I'm missing a reason *why* it's so much cheaper than the other brands. I'd actually expect to pay more because it's Tesla brand
