Tesla Wall Connector Installation in Marietta: questions
Do I need a permit for tesla wall connector installation in Marietta?
Usually, yes. Electrical permits inside city limits come from the City of Marietta's development services; Cobb County handles unincorporated areas. Georgia licenses electrical contractors through the State Construction Industry Licensing Board. The electrician normally pulls the permit and schedules the inspection.
Is the utility involved in Marietta?
If the work affects the meter or service, the electrician coordinates with Marietta Power (city-owned) or Georgia Power / Cobb EMC, depending on address, which owns the meter and service drop.
What breaker does a Tesla Wall Connector need?
Up to a 60 amp breaker for the maximum 48 amp output; smaller breakers are allowed with a lower current setting.

Yes, with Tesla's mobile connector, but output is lower than a hardwired Wall Connector at full power.
Can two Wall Connectors share one circuit?
