As the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to surge across Canada and North America, one key question for new and prospective EV owners is:
“Will this charger work with my EV?”
The answer, for most, is a confident yes—thanks to the J1772 connector standard.

What Is the J1772 Plug?

The SAE J1772 (also known simply as “J-Plug”) is the North American standard for Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging. It’s used by virtually every EV manufacturer—except Tesla, which uses a proprietary connector but still includes J1772 compatibility via an adapter.

This plug standard allows EV owners to charge from both standard home outlets (120V, Level 1) and higher-powered 240V (Level 2) charging stations with ease.

Which EV Brands Support J1772?

Brand	Model(s)
Chevrolet	Bolt EV, Bolt EUV
Ford	Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning, Escape PHEV
Hyundai	IONIQ 5, Kona Electric
Kia	EV6, Niro EV, Soul EV

Volkswagen	ID.4
