NACS to J1772 Charger Adapter - Expands EV Charging Options

In this review the NACS to J1772 Charger Adapter is examined for drivers who need to access more public chargers while keeping safe, fast charging at home or on the road. The adapter's single biggest selling point is practical: it lets J1772 vehicles plug into NACS destination and wall chargers, instantly opening access to over 15,000 additional charging locations across North America. For owners of J1772 BEVs or PHEVs who want a portable solution to reach more chargers, this adapter delivers useful compatibility and a compact design.

Key Features

• Expanded access: lets J1772 EVs connect to NACS destination and wall chargers so drivers can use many more public stations.
• High current capacity: supports up to 48A at 250V for faster level 2 charging compared with 110V alternatives.
• Security lock and protection: includes a security lock and built-in protections against over-current, over-voltage, over-heating and grounding issues for safer charging.
• IP65 waterproofing: rated to resist water and dust exposure, making it suitable for outdoor and garage use.
• Portable design: compact and lightweight so it is easy to carry on road trips or store in a trunk with other charging gear.
• Wide vehicle compatibility: works with all J1772 Battery Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, with named exceptions noted.

Who It's For

This adapter is best for J1772 vehicle owners who want to broaden charging options without replacing their existing home or mobile chargers. It is useful for drivers who frequently visit destinations with NACS style destination chargers or those who take long trips and want a lightweight adapter to bridge charger standards.

Drivers of excluded models such as certain Jeep 4xe and Genesis GV60 variants should look elsewhere or verify vehicle compatibility before purchasing. This adapter is not for DC fast charging at manufacturer supercharger systems and does not replace NACS Super Charger access.
