TESLA WALL CONNECTOR FOR BUSINESS
Tesla Wall Connector for Business — Charging That Pays for Itself
A NEW COMMERCIAL OPTION
A New Program That Lowers the Barrier to Commercial Charging
For years, commercial EV charging required a six-figure investment—often $500,000 or more in dedicated commercial equipment.
That’s changed. Tesla’s Wall Connector for Business program makes EV charging viable for properties that could never justify the traditional model, including small apartment buildings, boutique hotels, single-location dealerships, neighborhood restaurants, and smaller workplaces.
The program uses the same Wall Connector hardware installed in homes, paired with a Tesla-managed business dashboard. Property owners set charging rates and control access, while Tesla handles billing and reporting. The result is a simple, revenue-generating amenity that turns what was once a major capital expense into an accessible turnkey solution.
WHO THIS IS FOR
The Right Fit for Your Business
Apartments and Multifamily Properties
Tenant amenity, lease differentiator, and increasingly a tenant expectation. Owners can set a paid rate that covers the install plus reasonable margin, offer free charging as an amenity, or some combination depending on the building’s market.
Hotels and Hospitality
A growing percentage of guests arrive in EVs. Hotels that offer charging — paid, complimentary, or tier-based — convert better with EV-driving travelers and book a meaningful share of arrivals that filter for chargers in search.
Auto Dealerships
Dealerships installing Wall Connectors for fleet charging, EV-buyer test-drive support, and as a customer amenity in the service waiting area. The Wall Connector for Business dashboard handles the cost-accounting side without a separate fleet platform.
Restaurants and Destinations
Restaurants, wineries, and destination businesses can offer charging as a guest amenity. Customers stay longer, return more often, and increasingly choose destinations that solve their charging while they spend.
Workplaces
Employee charging as a benefit. Small employer sites can install a small bank of Wall Connectors with simple access control — paid, free, or sponsored — and treat the install as a one-time facility investment rather than an ongoing operational cost.
HOW THE REVENUE WORKS
How the Revenue Model Works
The property owner sets the per-kWh rate. Tesla’s business dashboard handles billing, payment processing, and reporting. Tesla takes a small management fee on each session — typically a few cents per kWh — and the owner keeps the balance.
For property owners with the capital to fund the install themselves, there is also a more aggressive model: the owner pays for the install, contracts with the property manager or tenant on a revenue share, and treats the chargers as a paying asset rather than an amenity. Apartment installs of 40 chargers at a time, generating meaningful monthly revenue, exist in this category.
WHO CAN CHARGE
Access Control and Monetization
A straightforward Tesla Wall Connector or NEMA 14-50 install with adequate existing panel capacity typically runs in a predictable range. The variables are distance from the panel to the charger location, whether the run is through finished walls or accessible space, and whether a panel upgrade is part of the project.
Most home charger installs are a one-day project. Panel upgrades add a day to the timeline and require utility coordination.
WHAT'S INVOLVED
What a Commercial Wall Connector Install Looks Like
A commercial install adds three things to the residential install pattern: more chargers per project, more service capacity (often three-phase), and a business-dashboard commissioning step that ties the chargers to the owner’s Tesla business account.
RMS handles the electrical side end-to-end — service capacity review, panel and sub-panel work, charger placement and wiring, conduit and trenching where applicable, permitting, inspection, and commissioning. The business dashboard side is a coordination piece with Tesla; we handle the technical commissioning that links your chargers to your account.
WHY RMS FOR COMMERCIAL CHARGING
A Local Electrician Tesla Has Trained for This
RMS is Tesla-certified to install Wall Connector equipment, including the Wall Connector for Business program. The 01 license covers commercial electrical work end-to-end, which means a tenant improvement, a service upgrade, and a multi-charger Wall Connector install can all run through one electrician on one timeline.
For property owners and managers, that combination matters. Commercial charging projects break down when the electrical contractor, the charger installer, and the project manager are three different parties. RMS is one party with all three credentials.
