Tesla has launched a product: the Tesla Universal Wall Connector. The product is perfect for non-Tesla EV buyers in North America.

The product is inspired by Tesla’s Magic Dock, a new adapter integrated into Supercharger stations. The Magic Dock serves as the receptor for the Supercharger handle, but when unlocked by a non-Tesla EV owner, it sticks to the connector, gets out of the charging stall, and acts as a CCS adapter.

Now Tesla is doing the same thing, but for home charging and commercial level 2 charging.

    Ya, the locking mechanisms would be a big part of it.

    I’ve had people unplug my car to charge theirs when I use an adapter out in the world. It’s impacted me trips before :(

    The adapter can’t be stolen as that’s locked to the car, but in this case you wouldn’t be able to unplug the car now.
