How to charge Tesla at home?

The best way of using a Tesla charger at home is to have a reliable and certified electrician, such as A.S. Electrical, to help you install it. They will produce a 240V-50A circuit from your electrical service box to the location where you want to plug in your charging cable, which will most likely be in your garage. The electrician will then wire an outlet that you can use to charge your EV.
