He is doing something to the electric box, moving around the breaks, and pulling cable through the house to the garage. Sorry for the lack of details.

The Juice Box is also a good option at $600 to $700, depending on the power level. I would encourage everyone to do either the 40 amp ($619) or 48 amp ($659) version.
It is only $40 more for the 48 amp version, so go for that if you do it.

And I would encourage every BMW EV or PHEV owner to also get this adapter so you can recharge your BMW at any Tesla destination charger. They are in practically every luxury hotel around and many different destinations. And they are often free to use. Stores and hotels install the Tesla chargers and add them to the charging maps in order to attract Tesla customers.

Nice tip for the Tesla destination charger. I can confirm that. I used it a lot this holiday. And usually free. When staying in a hotel for some days and full charging a couple of times you save some euros. The ones with a white sticker are for all brands the red ones are programmed to be used by Tesla only.
And in Europe we get the same Mennekes plug as Tesla so we can use it without adapter.
In my experience they don't show on the bmw charge app or idrive navigation but you can find them on the Tesla app |
Re: comment on Europe. Are you advising that the Tesla and BMW charging cables fully compatible. So we can simply use a Tesla Walsall Connector without adapter? Thanks
