The Right Connector, First Time
A NACS head, not a NACS adapter
The cable ends in a native NACS connector, so it seats straight into the port on a Tesla or any other NACS-interface vehicle. Nothing hangs off the car and nothing has to be carried between vehicles.
Hardwired at the full 50A
Hardwiring is what allows a continuous 50A draw, and it removes the plug and outlet as parts that can loosen or overheat. On a dedicated circuit that means a steady 12 kW.
Small enough for a narrow wall
The Lite Home body is slim, with the cable managed down either side and status indicators on the faceplate. In a tight single-car garage that matters more than it sounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Any vehicle with a NACS charge port, which covers Tesla models and a growing number of other manufacturers adopting the standard. If your car uses J1772, choose the J1772 version of the Lite Home instead.
A 50A continuous load is normally fed from a dedicated 60A circuit under NEC continuous-load rules. Have a licensed electrician size the breaker and conductors and confirm your service capacity before you order.
An adapter is one more thing to buy, carry and lose, and it adds weight and another connection at the charge port. A native NACS head simply seats in the port and stays with the charger.
Only through a NACS-to-J1772 adapter, and support varies by vehicle. If your household runs both connector types, the J1772 Lite Home plus the adapter that came with your NACS car is usually the simpler answer.
Yes. Hardwiring is what allows a continuous 50A draw and removes the plug and outlet as parts that can loosen. It does mean an electrician is needed, and the unit stays with the house.
Three things, with a licensed electrician: whether your panel has room for a 60A circuit, where the unit will sit relative to your car port, and the cable route from the panel. Those answers decide the whole job.
Charging without the adapter?
- 50A hardwired, 12 kW maximum output
- Native NACS head, no adapter needed
- Nothing extra to carry between cars
- Slim body for a narrow garage wall
