Tesla AC Connector to J1772 Vehicle Adapter
An AC conversion adapter with a Tesla charging-plug input and an SAE J1772 vehicle output, listed at up to 250 V AC and 40 A. The white body is described as ABS, PBT and PC. Use depends on the exact vehicle and charging-equipment instructions; the restrictions below take priority over physical connector fit.
- AC conversion direction
- Listed 250 V / 40 A
- White housing
Key Features
-
Design
The input receives a Tesla AC charging plug and the output fits a permitted J1772 vehicle application.
-
Voltage
The description lists a rated voltage of 250 V AC.
-
Current
The listed 40 A limit does not override lower vehicle, EVSE or circuit limits.
-
Material
The white housing is described as ABS, PBT and PC construction.
-
Compatibility
Both the exact charging equipment and vehicle must permit this adapter conversion.
-
Charging Standard
This is an AC adapter, not a Supercharger, DC or Type 2 adapter.
Highlights
Correct conversion direction
The Tesla AC plug goes into the adapter input, and the J1772 output is for the vehicle inlet where this conversion is permitted. This is not a J1772-station-to-Tesla-vehicle adapter and does not support Supercharger/DC charging.
Listed electrical limits
250 V AC and 40 A are listed limits, not a promise of a fixed charging speed. Actual charging is limited by the vehicle, equipment, circuit and any lower-rated component.
Equipment permission matters
Generic references to wall, destination or mobile charging do not establish compatibility.
Compatibility
| Model | Years / Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| J1772-inlet vehicles | Only where the vehicle and exact AC equipment permit this adapter; BMW i3 and e-Golf excluded |
No universal Tesla charging-equipment approval is established. The North American Gen 3 Wall Connector adapter prohibition and Gen 2/3 Mobile Connector NACS-only vehicle scope must be followed.

Good to Know
Caution
- Not for the Tesla North American Gen 3 Wall Connector; its instructions prohibit adapters and conversion adapters.
- Tesla North American Gen 2 and Gen 3 Mobile Connector instructions limit their vehicle use to NACS vehicles and prohibit other vehicle use. Do not treat the generic Mobile Connector listing as permission to convert them to J1772.
- Use only where the exact AC equipment and vehicle manufacturers permit this conversion. Destination charging is a location description, not permission for every charger generation; physical fit or an All Vehicles setting does not override equipment restrictions.
- Not for Tesla Superchargers, DC charging, Type 2 connectors, BMW i3 or e-Golf as excluded by the listing. It is not the reverse adapter for charging a Tesla vehicle from a J1772 station.
- Charging is limited by the lowest current/voltage rating of the adapter, vehicle, EVSE or circuit.
Care
- Store dry with contact surfaces protected; do not open, modify or improvise repairs.
FAQ
Is this for a Tesla vehicle at a J1772 station?
No. The direction is Tesla AC charging-plug input to a J1772 vehicle output, only where that conversion is permitted.
Can it be used at a Supercharger?
No. This adapter is for AC use and does not support Tesla Superchargers or DC charging.
Does it work with every Tesla wall or mobile charger?
No. North American Gen 3 Wall Connector instructions prohibit conversion adapters, and Gen 2/3 Mobile Connector vehicle scope is NACS only.
Will it charge at a fixed 40 A or three times faster?
No fixed speed is established. 40 A is the listed maximum; the vehicle, charger, circuit and any lower rating limit actual current.
Is waterproofing or certification established?
No independent waterproof or safety certification is established here. Keep contacts dry and follow the permitted equipment and vehicle requirements.
