Whats to know Run a 40 amp circuit and install a receptacle- usually range receptacle or direct wire. No disconnect is necessary unless it is more than 60 amps

Granted I haven't seen all the different chargers, but I've hooked up a few different ones. As Dennis said, just a 40A or 60A circuit, depending on the requirements for the specific charger. None of the ones I installed required anything other than the specified circuit size. No Cat5 for the ones I did. Also, mine just required direct wiring but I understand there are some that come with a cord and cord cap and require a receptacle.

Some Tesla units can be wired together on the same circuit and they use the Cat 5 cable to communicate to the other units so they can control the loads at each charger being used.

Minor correction for you Dennis.....They actually use an 18/2 shielded cable between units.
