J1772 EV chargers

The standard connector on almost every non-Tesla EV sold in North America, and the majority of what is on this site.

Every figure here is taken from the manufacturer’s published listing and measured against the rest of the group. We do not test chargers. Where a listing is silent on a specification, this site prints not stated rather than a plausible default.

What this group looks like

The middle-half column spans the 25th to 75th percentile, so it describes where most of this group sits rather than being pulled about by one unusual unit.

This is arithmetic, not a design. The breaker figures here are the manufacturer’s published output multiplied by 1.25 and rounded up to the next standard size, which is what the continuous-load rule requires. They tell you what to expect before you call an electrician; they are not a substitute for one, and they say nothing about whether your panel has the capacity, what wire the run needs, or what your local code requires.

Against the market as a whole this group reaches about as far as average — a median cable of 25 ft against 25 ft overall. Cable length is the specification owners most often say they would change.

What these listings publish

Specification coverage is uneven, and knowing where it runs out is part of shopping honestly. A missing figure does not mean a worse charger — it means a less completely described one.

What they cost

Bands, not prices — and the charger is only part of the bill. A new circuit is frequently the larger half, and no listing prices it.

Why it is the default

J1772 has been the North American AC charging standard since well before the current wave of EVs, so it is what nearly every non-Tesla car takes and what nearly every charger ships with. Buying a J1772 charger is the choice that keeps working if you change cars, and Tesla owners bridge it with an adapter that costs a small fraction of the charger.

The connector should be your last filter, not your first

Adapters exist in both directions, they are inexpensive, and they are widely used. Choosing a charger on its connector rather than its output, install method and cable length optimises the one variable that is cheapest to fix.

The connector that most listings assume

This is the largest connector group in the corpus by a wide margin, and it is the default that every non-Tesla vehicle in North America takes. The practical consequence is availability rather than performance: J1772 chargers are what most manufacturers build, so the class contains the widest range of outputs, install methods and prices on this site. Filtering by connector first narrows the field least here and most elsewhere.

Cable length is the specification owners regret

Nearly every charger in this corpus that states a cable length states the same one, so the figure barely differentiates products — and it is the specification owners most often say they would change. Measure from where the unit will actually be mounted to the furthest charge-port position you expect to use, including the car parked the other way round and a second vehicle. A charger that reaches is worth more than one that charges marginally faster, and the reach cannot be added later.

The breaker is not the charger’s amperage

An EVSE is a continuous load, so the circuit must be rated at least 125 per cent of the charger’s output. Across this corpus the median charger draws 40 A and needs a 50 A circuit, and the relationship holds at every step of the range. Buyers who size the circuit from the headline figure discover the difference when the electrician quotes, and there is no breaker made at some of the amperages people expect to buy.

A new receptacle circuit is not free

Current code requires GFCI protection on a new 240 V receptacle circuit, and a GFCI breaker at these ratings costs several times a standard one. That line never appears on a charger listing and it narrows the cost gap between plugging in and hardwiring more than most buyers expect. Where an existing receptacle is being reused, it is worth confirming what protects it rather than assuming, because an older circuit may predate the requirement.

Buying for the car after this one

A J1772 charger keeps working whatever the next vehicle is, because every non-Tesla car takes it directly and Tesla vehicles take it through the adapter that came with them. For a fifteen-year fixture bought against a car that will be replaced twice in its life, that durability is worth more than a small difference in output. It is the least likely specification on this site to become obsolete.

Before you buy

Ask what the panel can spare before choosing an output

A charger’s amperage decides the circuit, and the circuit decides whether the job is an afternoon or a service upgrade. In an older house the panel is frequently the real constraint, and finding that out before choosing a charger saves returning one.

Measure the cable run properly

Measure from where the charger will actually be mounted to the furthest charge-port position you expect to use — the car parked the other way round, and a second vehicle. Twenty-five feet is common and is not generous once the cable goes around a car rather than straight at it.

Treat marketing language as a claim, not a specification

Where a phrase on a listing matters to your decision, look for the number behind it: a stated output in amps rather than a sentence about fast charging, a stated cable length rather than a description of reach. Where this site could not find that number, it says not stated.

How many amps can your panel spare?

This is the charger's output, not the circuit it needs. A charger is a continuous load, so its breaker must be rated at least 125% of that figure — every result below shows the breaker it requires.

What can you spend?

A ceiling, not a band — each option includes everything cheaper. Budget for the install as well: a new 60 A circuit is often a larger bill than the charger. We show price bands rather than exact prices, because a price captured on a scrape date is wrong by the time you read it.

Which plug does your car take?

J1772 is the standard connector on almost every non-Tesla EV sold in North America. NACS is Tesla's, and is being adopted by other makers. Adapters exist in both directions and are cheap; the connector is rarely the thing that decides the purchase.

How will it be installed?

Hardwired means an electrician wires it to the panel — required above 48 A and generally the tidier result. Plug-in needs a matching outlet, usually NEMA 14-50. Portable units travel with the car and run from either.

App control and scheduling

Scheduling charging for off-peak hours is where a smart charger pays for itself. Where a listing does not mention an app, this site does not assume it lacks one.
