Both still need a qualified electrician to install, and Tesla says you need to own a Tesla to buy one while supplies are limited.
Home charging from Tesla now costs more than $1,000 for the Universal model. When we checked Tesla's Canadian online shop on November 12, 2026, the Wall Connector was listed at $885 and the Universal Wall Connector at $1,015. Installation isn't included in either price.

Tesla's Canadian shop lists the Universal Wall Connector at $1,015.
Drive Tesla Canada reported on November 12 that both chargers went up by $70 on Wednesday night. Tesla didn't announce a change, and we couldn't find an earlier copy of its Canadian shop pages to check the old prices ourselves. So we're only quoting the prices Tesla lists now.
Installation. Both product pages say the charger "must be installed by a qualified electrician" and send buyers to Tesla's Find a Certified Installer page, which Tesla says covers "1,000+ Tesla Certified Installers" (Tesla Shop Canada). The pages also say "Tesla ownership is required while supplies are limited" (Tesla Shop Canada). Panel capacity, distance from your panel and permits all change the final bill. See our Wall Connector install cost guide for Ontario and our home charging guide before you get quotes.
That depends on what's in your driveway. Check each product page for what it can charge before you pay the extra $130 for the Universal model.
