J1772 (SAE J1772)
J1772 is the standard North American connector for AC (Level 1 and Level 2) charging, used by nearly every non-Tesla EV sold before 2025. Teslas can use J1772 chargers with the adapter included with the car.
The five-pin J1772 plug carries single-phase AC power plus signaling that lets the car and charger negotiate the available current.
With the industry’s shift to NACS, many 2025+ EVs have NACS ports instead — those vehicles use J1772 home chargers through a J1772-to-NACS adapter.
