Now that Tesla is opening up its charging infrastructure to non-Tesla electric vehicles through its “Universal Wall Connector”, it needs a way to access the connectivity of charging stations. To facilitate this, Tesla has launched “Tesla App for Wall Connector”, a mobile app integration for its Wall Connector chargers as it opens its infrastructure to non-Tesla EVs.

Tesla now allows Wall Connector owners to register their chargers in the Tesla app in order to use Wi-Fi-enabled features, like charging schedules, through the app.

Here’s how to register a Tesla Wall Connector on the app:

1. Tap your profile picture icon in the top-right corner of the app to open the profile menu.
2. Tap “Add Product” and then “Wall Connector.”
3. Follow the in-app steps to scan your Wall Connector QR code from your Quickstart Guide. You’ll need to accept a prompt to join the Wall Connector’s Wi-Fi network to continue.
4. Connect your Wall Connector to your home Wi-Fi network and follow the remaining in-app steps to complete registration. This will allow you to see real-time charging status and continue to get the latest software updates. 

The launch of this functionality comes just after Tesla released its new Universal Wall Connector, which is becoming a very interesting home charging solution for non-Tesla EV owners in North America amid the move to NACS.
