The process
How It Works, Step by Step
Step 1: Call and Share Your Car and Garage Details
Have your car model, parking spot and panel location handy when you call.
Step 2: Electrician Checks the Panel and Route
A licensed electrician looks over the panel, measures the wire path and gives you a written quote.
Step 3: Permit Filed Online
Your electrician applies for the county electrical permit through the Land Use Navigator before work begins.
Step 4: Mount, Wire and Commission the Unit
The electrician mounts the Wall Connector, runs the circuit and finishes setup in the Tesla app.
Step 5: Inspection and First Charge
After the county inspector signs off, plug in and confirm your car charges at the set current.
Cost
What Affects the Price?
Tesla publishes its own install estimate, but your home's layout decides where you land. See cost factors for EV charger installs for more detail.
Tesla's Installation Estimate
Tesla's home charging page gives this estimate for installation. It does not include the price of the Wall Connector.
Typical range: $750 to $1,500Source: Tesla
Circuit Size You Choose
A 60 A circuit for 48 A charging needs heavier copper than a 40 A or 50 A circuit.
Wire Run Length
Long runs through finished walls or across an attic add material and labor.
Panel Room and Load
A full panel or small service can add a subpanel, load management or a service upgrade to the job.
Second Unit for Power Sharing
Another Wall Connector adds hardware and setup work, but it may avoid a larger panel change.
Estimates are not quotes. Check the MEA rebate rules before you buy, since the state program pays toward eligible Level 2 costs only after the job is paid in full.

Call (410) 314-4846What Code and Permit Rules Apply to a Wall Connector?
As of October 2026Anne Arundel County enforces the 2020 NEC (as of October 2026), and Article 625 governs EV charging equipment like the Wall Connector. The code treats charging as a continuous load. So the breaker and wire are sized at 125% of the charging current: 48 A of charging calls for a 60 A circuit. Owners who plan to plug in a Mobile Connector instead can read the NEMA 14-50 outlet guide.
A Wall Connector is hardwired with built-in personnel protection. Your electrician still runs a load calculation under NEC Article 220 to confirm the service can take the added load. In the county, licensed electricians apply for electrical permits, and the job closes after an inspector passes it. Learn the steps on our permit and inspection page.
The county layers its own local electrical amendments over the NEC, and your electrician confirms which ones touch this job. If your home sits inside Annapolis city limits, the City of Annapolis handles the permit under its own code.
What Should Tesla Owners in Severna Park Know?
BGE serves much of the county, and your power bill names your utility. BGE customers may look at the EVsmart rate and the Smart Charge Management program, which offers up to $120 per year in bill credits per enrolled vehicle.
If you belong to an HOA, send in the application before anything gets mounted outside. Maryland law says an association cannot prohibit or unreasonably restrict a charger, but you still follow its process.
What If Your Wall Connector Shows a Fault?
A red light or a charge that stops partway often points to a loose connection, a tripped breaker or a firmware issue. A licensed electrician can test the circuit; see EV charger troubleshooting.
Is Your Home Ready for a Wall Connector?
Before you order hardware, an EV readiness inspection checks your panel, service size and mounting spot.
