Can't comment specifically, because I can't read the webpage and don't know the details of the Finnish electrical grid, et cetera. Perhaps it is a good aftermarket product? I don't know. But in general, I ***always recommend*** that Tesla drivers **use genuine Tesla charging equipment**. Here are some small articles I wrote (may be slightly out-of-date, but still informative): * [Choosing A Tesla Home-charging Option](https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/5253817/) * [Tesla Charge Ports & Plugs from China, North America, and Europe Compared (for Models S, X, 3, & Y)](https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6118446/) * [International Electric-Car Charging-Plug Standards](https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6426586/) Unfortunately, Tesla equipment ***can*** be comparatively expensive. But: 1. A Tesla car, even a Model 3, is way ***more*** expensive and therefore is worth the added expense for peace of mind when using genuine Tesla charging products. 2. And if you lease your Tesla, that's even ***more*** reason to only use Tesla charging equipment. (You don't want to have to explain to Tesla how you accidentally fried your lease car's circuits with some cheapo aftermarket device.) 3. If cost is a concern, I recommend using Craig's List, eBay, or the local equivalent online markets to find good quality, ***used*** Tesla equipment. Here in California, for example, lots of people sell used Tesla mobile and wall connectors. 4. The power (amperage) level of electricity used to charge modern electric cars can be quite high (both for AC home and for DC on-the-road charging equipment). Do you really ***want*** to endanger your nice Tesla car (or even yourself) by using cheap charging equipment? Spend the money on good, quality products (e.g., cables, adapters, and mobile/wall connectors). In North America we have many good **third-party** charging products (like wall connectors). However, inevitably they tend to cost as much or even more than Tesla products. Quality costs money. Some people turn to cheap alternatives on Amazon, Alibaba, or whatever. That, imo, is a mistake. Best of luck.

That's a bit different product. TWC is wall mounted, and have various management/monitoring options, gives you up to 22kW charging, but most Teslas have only 11kW on board chargers. One you link to is a mobile evse, with up to 11kW charging on 3 phase. Didn't you get Tesla, UMC gen3 with the car? It can do up to 7.4kW on single phase with correct adapter. Maybe they stopped including those.

I don’t know the quality of the ever you linked but they’re essentially just an extension cord. Depending on the safety features in the cheaper one it might be a good deal.

Thanks, Yes I do have the mobile connector with schuko adapter which at least for me only 1.8KW on single phase because normal schuko can't transmitonly 8-10A for safety here in FInland
