Adapters for J1772/CCS EVs

If you have a J1772 compatible EV, you can charge using a non-Supercharger Tesla/NACS plug with an adapter. For instance, it would allow you to use the very capable Tesla Mobile Connector or charge at a Tesla destination charger. The adapter I'd recommend is the A2Z 80A Tesla to J1772 Adapter

These adapters won't allow a J1772/CCS vehicle to charge at a Tesla Supercharger station. They are meant for AC wall plug or Tesla destination charging only. For Tesla Supercharger comptibility, see the next section.

If you have a J1772/CSS charge port EV, you can charge at most Tesla Supercharger locations (click here for Tesla's website about that) with the use of an adapter supplied by your manufacturer or purchased from a third party (I recommend this one).

All these Supercharger adapters have temperature sensors embedded within them for safety. If the temperature gets too high, they'll shut off. People have found that if they leave their adapter in their frunk, for instance, in 120F desert weather, the adapters won't work until they cool off. So pro tip: keep these adapters somewhere in the cabin so they will work when you need them.

Most EVs come with a manufacturer provided mobile EVSE and most of those come with a 120V household receptacle adapter and a 240V NEMA 14-50 receptacle adapter such as the Rivian mobile EVSE shown here:

If your mobile EVSE has a 240V option, you can buy "pigtail" adapters to allow you to plug into different receptacles (except for Ford Lighting owners). The pigtails have a NEMA 14-50 female receptacle and a male plug for the receptacle you want to adapt to. For instance, this could allow you to charge from a TT-30 "30A" receptacle at a campground, or from a dryer receptacle.

Note that your mobile EVSE and car will think it can draw 32A when using the EVSE's NEMA 14-50 adapter, so it is very important to use your EV's amperage setting function to dial down the amperage to the correct level when using pigtail adapters. Use this chart when using these pigtail adapters to keep to the "80% rule" to not overload the electrical circuit.

If you have a GM EV, your included Mobile EVSE might be compatible with these swappable plug adapters available from GM.

You can buy these kinds of adapters from Cord Depot.

And you can make your own pigtail adapters as well. Information here.
