Looking for an EV charger for your Tesla Model S?

The Tesla Model S is one of the fastest accelerating cars on the planet, capable of 0-60mph in just 2.4 seconds whilst also boasting a maximum 5-star Euro NCAP rating making it one of the safest cars on the road. It doesn't stop there either, inside the car boasts state of the art technology ranging from an impressive 17-inch touchscreen to HEPA air filters which would keep the occupants safe even in the event of a biological attack. The specs are impressive, but all of this is only relevant when the car is charged. In general, it is certainly advisable for Tesla Model S owners to purchase the official Tesla wall connector charger, however there are smarter alternatives on the market.

With advancements in technology, the Tesla is becoming smarter and as a result, charge times are being reduced. You may be wondering which kWh EV charger best suits your needs, that's where we can help.
