FAQ
That depends on the charging output of the J1772 charger you’re using: 16A, 24A, 32A, 40A, 48A, etc
The time it takes to charge a Tesla depends on several factors, including the battery size, the charging level, and the charging rate of the charging station or outlet being used. Using a Tesla Model S with a 75 kWh battery as an example:
• Level 1 (120 V): 24-36 hours
• Level 2 (Third party chargers/Tesla chargers/Tesla home charger): with an 11.5 kW onboard charger, 6-10 hours
• Tesla Supercharger: up to 170 miles of range in 30 minutes
Yes, you can use a J1772-to-Tesla adapter to charge your Tesla using Level 1 and Level 2 chargers. There's also the CCS to Tesla adapter that lets you charge at DC Fast charging stations nationwide.
Tesla uses a proprietary charger (also known as the North American Charging Standard or NACS) that was previously only available to Tesla models. There are three types of chargers available for Tesla EVs:
• Mobile Connector
• Wall Connector
• Supercharger
Yes, but you would need to use a Tesla to J1772 Adapter
Yes. You can plug a Level 1 charger into a NEMA 5-15 outlet (standard wall outlet), and a Level 2 charger into a NEMA 14-50 outlet (large appliance outlet).
Our Level 1 charger provides 16A of power - which is our lowest amp charger.
Yes, the Mobile Connector bundle comes with a NEMA 14-50 adapter that allows you to plug it into a 220 V outlet. This can give you around 30 miles of range per hour depending on the vehicle Model.
Yes. The Mobile Connector bundle comes with a NEMA 5-15 adapter that can be used with a standard 120-volt household outlet.
The main difference between Tesla and J1772 adapters is the connector type. Tesla vehicles use a proprietary connector for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 charging, which is not compatible with the J1772 standard used by all other electric vehicle manufacturers for Level 1 and Level 2 charging. Tesla adapters allow Tesla EVs to charge at any Level 1, Level 2, or CCS Fast Charging stations. On the other hand, J1772 adapters are used by non-Tesla EV owners to connect their vehicles to Tesla chargers. The J1772 adapter allows non-Tesla EV owners to access Tesla's charging infrastructure.
Yes, it is possible to charge an electric vehicle using a standard household socket. Most electric vehicles come with a Level 1 charging cable that can be plugged into a standard 120-volt household outlet. However, Level 1 charging is the slowest charging option and may not provide sufficient charging power for some electric vehicles. Meanwhile, Level 2 chargers, which are significantly faster, can be plugged directly into a 240 V outlet.
EV chargers use different types of plugs depending on the charging level and the region where the charger is located. For Level 1 and Level 2 charging, the most common plug used in North America is the J1772 or "J-Plug," which is a standard connector that is compatible with all EVs except for Tesla. In Europe, the Type 2 plug is the most common connector for Level 1 and Level 2 charging. For DC fast charging, Tesla uses its proprietary plug, while Nissan and Mitsubishi use CHAdeMO. All other EV manufacturers use the Combined Charging System (CCS) or "Combo" plug. In Europe, the CCS2 plug is the most common connector for DC charging.
