I wonder if this will load balance with my existing Gen 2 Tesla wall connector. Or Gen 3?

This has been out for a while, no?

Is this better than the Rivian wall charger?

Priced competitively?. I wonder how it's holds up outside.

Not necessarily by itself but if you have the need to have more than one and load-share the charging it is in at a decent price point.

The Tesla proprietary charger will also work, but requires an adapter (Tesla > J1772). We have two installed on a single circuit, load-shared, so we can charge our Model Y and MINI Cooper SE simultaneously at 48A max. When both are plugged in each gets 24A, but usually they aren't charging at the same time.

It works exactly as advertised. Highly recommend if you need to keep things to a single breaker.

hmmm, this seems like a much better deal than the Rivian charger

Yea thats what I'm thinking but I have no experience with these. Can someone advise if I should cancel my $500 Rivian charger from my config and get this Tesla one?

But then I assume if there is a Rivian app to Rivian wall charger functionality, we wouldn't have that.....

Comparable specs (48 amp) but a lot cheaper.

If you've got the old price on your Rivian charger then keep that. Who do you want to give your money to: Elon or RJ?

Funny, just put a new Tesla HPWC in to replace our Gen 2 about 3 weeks ago. Paid $400, and use the HPWC with a J1772 adapter (that I carry on the T at all times just in case) and it works like a champ. But this one is $599 cause it has the 1772 handle vs Tesla handle. Same functionality.

Me I'm glad I bought the $400 version and use the adapter I have, almost 40% cheaper.

Until J1772 connectors become more ubiquitous, I'd recommend everyone carry a Tesla to 1772 adpter just in
- In my neck of the woods Tesla connectors far outweight 1772 connectors, so I'm never left hangin so to speak.
Edit: price is $550 not $599 like I said.

Are you referring to this?

Not going to lie. The Rivian charger does need a lip like the Tesla charger to wrap the charging cord around. It seems like the cord would slip off the Rivian one pretty easily. Especially if the cord is twisted or stiffer in cold temps.

FWIW.. I've had a Tesla EVSE (that I purchased used) outdoors for two years now and it still looks and works like new. It's a very stout build, nothing but high quality parts inside. I wouldn't hesitate purchasing another Tesla EVSE....
