Although 40 amps is certainly lower than some other brands are capable of, don't discount this one just yet. This unit doesn't have the ability to be installed at a lower or higher amperage. It should be connected to a 240-volt circuit at 40 amps (input breaker size) or 32 amps (output). This charging station also used the universal connection, a J1772. We do not carry the Blink Home Charging Stations but have installed a number of them. Telsa now offers replacement parts and should the unit need to be replaced Tesla will send the replacement parts directly to your door and they can be replaced without needing to get into the wiring of the unit so an electrician is not necessary. To get in touch with Telsa's troubleshooting team click here. The Telsa Wall Connector comes with a 24 ft cord and a 4-year warranty from the manufacturer should anything go awry. Although, this wall connector is WiFi-enabled it's not enabled in a way that Austin Energy can communicate with the charging station so while they do include the unit in the Austin Energy Rebate Program they will only give you 50% of the installation cost up to $900 which includes both the cost of the unit and the installation. This unit does qualify for the Austin Energy rebate (to receive the rebate Austin Energy must be your power provider).

So this charging station is a great option for homes that might not have a full 60 amps available and may only have 30 or 40 amps available.
They have the ability to be connected at any input amperage between 20 and 60 amps. The Tesla Wall Connector will only directly connect to a Tesla. We are not currently carrying this wall connector but it can be purchased directly from Tesla. The ChargePoint Flex seems to be the best all-around unit with the universal connection, variable amperage option and qualifying for the highest rebate amount through Austin Energy although it does have a little bit shorter cord and warranty through the manufacturer. To get in touch with ChargePoint's troubleshooting team click here. This unit comes with a 23 ft cord and a 3-Year warranty from the manufacturer. This unit is eligible for the Austin Energy Rebate (to qualify your power provider must be Austin Energy) Austin Energy currently recognizes only two brands of charging stations as ones they are able to communicate with, this charging station is one of them which allows for a 50% rebate up to their maximum $1,200 for both the cost of the charging station and the installation. This charging station comes with a universal connection point (J1772) which works with all brands and models of electric vehicles and it's capable of being connected at any input amperage between 20 and 60 amps. Quick Note: *This charging station does come with a plug, however, to avoid nuisance tripping that comes with installing an outlet on a GFCI protected breaker we'll remove the plug to hardwired this unit so the plug configuration option you choose does not matter.* While we don't carry the ChargePoint Flex, it is one of the most popular charging stations that we install.
