For Tesla owners, the choice between the Tesla Mobile Connector and the Tesla Wall Connector has long defined home charging. But that binary is now being challenged by a new option from EVDANCE, a company that develops practical EV charging solutions. The company's latest product, a 40A NACS wall-mounted Level 2 EV charger, is designed to address the gap between portability and permanent installation, offering a flexible middle ground for drivers who want more power without hardwiring.
The distinction matters because not all garages are created equal. The Tesla Mobile Connector, while portable, maxes out at 32A (7.68kW at 240V) and is often used as a primary home charger, forcing owners to unplug and stow it daily. The Tesla Wall Connector, on the other hand, is permanently installed, tying the charger to one location. For many, neither perfectly fits their routine. EVDANCE's solution delivers up to 40A (9.6kW at 240V), a 25% increase in current and power, when supported by the vehicle and circuit. This means faster charging for those with a suitable NEMA 14-50 outlet, allowing them to keep a dedicated charger at home while leaving the Mobile Connector for travel.
Beyond power, the charger tackles a common frustration: cable reach. Garage outlets are often near the electrical panel, not the vehicle's charge port, and parking positions can vary. EVDANCE includes a 25-foot charging cable to provide flexibility, along with a NACS connector featuring a push-button charge-port release for easier handling. The unit also offers a 2.4-inch display and app-based controls, enabling users to monitor charging, adjust current, and schedule sessions. These features aim to integrate seamlessly into existing routines rather than requiring garage reorganization.
The product has garnered attention from EV advocates. Iowa Tesla Guy, who has owned a Tesla for six years and driven over 100,000 miles, noted, "It isn't trying to replace Tesla chargers, it's filling the space between them." That sentiment underscores the charger's niche: it complements rather than competes, offering an alternative for owners who have a NEMA 14-50 outlet and want more capacity without committing to a hardwired setup.
For the Long Beach area, where EV adoption continues to rise, this development could signal a shift in how residents approach home charging. As more drivers seek flexible, high-power solutions that adapt to their living situations, products like the EVDANCE's 40A NACS wall-mounted Level 2 EV charger may become increasingly relevant. The charger is available through the official EVDANCE website, and for a limited time, customers can receive 25% off with code 25EVDNEW.
This launch highlights a broader trend: as EV infrastructure matures, the focus is shifting from one-size-fits-all solutions to customizable configurations that match individual driving habits and home electrical setups. For businesses and consumers in Long Beach and surrounding areas, the availability of such options could accelerate EV adoption by alleviating charging anxieties and making home charging more adaptable. EVDANCE's entry into this space not only expands consumer choice but also pressures competitors to innovate, potentially leading to more affordable and versatile charging solutions across the market.
