For legacy EV owners: J1772 extension cables are widely available, affordable, and compatible with your vehicle today. For Tesla and future-proof buyers: NACS extension cables offer better long-term value, broader compatibility with upcoming vehicles, and easier access to both AC and DC charging stations.The North American Charging System (NACS), also known as the North American Charging Standard and officially designated SAE J3400, is an electric vehicle (EV) charging connector developed by Tesla, Inc. SAE International.
Are NACS chargers only for Tesla?
New vehicles outside of Tesla have started coming equipped with NACS charge ports. Vehicles that are NACS-equipped do not require an adapter. It’s always been our ambition to open the Supercharger network to all EVs, and by doing so, encourage more drivers to rapidly transition to an emission-free future. No Adapter Needed: Charge your Tesla or any vehicle requiring the NACS connection. Emporia’s new NACS-specific ev charger works just like the Tesla charger, including remotely opening your Tesla charging port door at the press of a button.
