Hello

I am getting a Tesla Model 3.

Which wall box would you recommend?

The wall box would be mounted outdoors at the parking space (no garage, no carport).

I have the following questions:

Should I choose a wall box with a fixed cable or one with a socket (but with a lockable cable)?

Should I choose a wall box with up to 22 kW or just 11 kW?

What additional features should a wall box offer?

The wall box must have RFID security (it will be outdoors and accessible to everyone) and must include all safety mechanisms, such as DC fault protection.

Can you possibly recommend a wall box?

Our wallbox is the Heidelberg model.
Because it is freely accessible, it has a light switch inside that completely cuts off power. Switch on, charging starts. Disconnect the cable, switch off. It’s a light switch with a small indicator light so you can see if it’s on or off.
The car is currently a 2013 Twingo with only 60,000 kilometers (37,000 miles), as we don’t drive much. We will probably replace it soon with the electric Corsa, which suits our needs perfectly. Our son can finish using the Twingo.
