Access thousands of J1772 chargers with the SEGUMA J1772 to Tesla adapter. Fast, secure fit, 80A support, and durable build for home and public Tesla charging.

The SEGUMA J1772 to Tesla adapter is a compact, high-capacity J1772 to Tesla adapter that gives Tesla owners convenient access to thousands of public and residential AC Level 1 and AC Level 2 J1772 charging stations across North America. An illustrative diagram titled "How the J1772-to-Tesla Adapter Works" with the subtitle "J1772-to-Tesla Adapter - Direct Pin Mapping for AC Charging." The diagram illustrates the connection flow from left to right. On the left is an "SAE J1772 EV Charger Plug (Male Connector)". An arrow points to the "J1772-to-Tesla Adapter" in the center, which accepts the J1772 plug as input. Another arrow points from the adapter's output to the "Tesla Proprietary AC Port (Female Inlet)" on the right. Below the images of the plugs and adapters, there are two circular pinout diagrams connected by a mapping list. A central text box explains the adapter's function: "Tesla uses the same AC signaling as J1772. The J1772-to-Tesla adapter doesn’t convert protocols – it just maps J1772 pins to Tesla’s connector for a direct physical and electrical connection." The left pinout diagram is for the "Adapter - SAE J1772 Charger Port (Female, 5-Pin Layout)". Its pins are labeled: Line 1 (L1) Line 2 / Neutral (L2/N) Control Pilot (CP) Proximity Pilot (PP) Ground (G) The right pinout diagram is for the "Adapter - Tesla Charge Connector (Male, 5-Pin Layout)". Its pins are labeled: Line 1 (L1) Line 2 (L2) Control Pilot (CP) Proximity Pilot (PP) Ground (G) Between the diagrams, a list shows the direct pin mapping: L1 → L1 L2/N → L2 CP → CP PP → PP G → G At the bottom, the image concludes: "Direct Pin Mapping for AC Charging – no signal or voltage conversion. Supports Level 2 AC charging only."

Whether you have a J1772 EV charger at home, work, or on the road, this adapter makes Tesla charging more flexible and affordable, eliminating EV charging range anxiety and the need for a dedicated Tesla charger.

Compatible with all Tesla models, including the Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Tesla Cybertruck, the SEGUMA J1772 to Tesla adapter delivers a tight, secure fit with zero wiggle room. This firm connection helps prevent J1772 to Tesla adapter problems such as electrical arcing, overheating, and resistance caused by loose fitment. Over time, loose connections and electrical arcing can damage the J1772 EV charger plug and adapter by pitting or melting the metal contacts, leading to EV charging voltage drop and reduced equipment lifespan. The J1772 to Tesla adapter is engineered to avoid these common J1772 to Tesla adapter issues, supporting safe, high-amperage AC Level 2 charging with long-term reliability.

Rated for up to 80 amps at 240V AC, the SEGUMA J1772-to-Tesla adapter supports both Level 1 EV charging and high-power Level 2 EV charging, depending on the output of the connected J1772 station. While most Level 2 chargers deliver 30 to 50 amps, this adapter’s 80-amp capacity ensures compatibility with higher-output Level 2 EV chargers, ideal for drivers who may upgrade to a hardwired 80-amp EV charger. It’s also IP65-rated for water resistance and built to handle extreme temperatures from -30°F to 130°F, making it well-suited for year-round outdoor use.

Tesla drivers can use the SEGUMA J1772-to-Tesla adapter to charge from most public EV charging networks that offer SAE J1772 AC chargers, including ChargePoint, EVgo, Electrify America, Blink, FLO, EV Connect, AmpUp, Volta, Shell Recharge, and Francis Energy. It also works seamlessly with J1772 home chargers, providing a flexible, cost-effective charging option without needing to install a dedicated Tesla Wall Connector or Tesla Universal Wall Connector.

The Tesla Wall Connector is a Level 2 EV charger with up to 48A output, delivering up to 44 miles of range per hour. Compatible with all Tesla models, it offers customizable amperage settings and supports indoor/outdoor installation. Wi-Fi connectivity enables over-the-air updates, while PowerShare supports multi-vehicle charging.

However, for daily Tesla charging and long-term reliability, we recommend investing in a dedicated Tesla EV charger, especially if your setup doesn’t include a native NACS charger. Native Tesla chargers offer better integration, reduced wear on adapter components, and full Tesla App support.

Constructed with high-strength ABS plastic and engineered for protection against overvoltage, short circuits, and electric shock, the SEGUMA J1772 to Tesla adapter is durable yet lightweight, just 0.5 lbs, and small enough to keep in your glove box or center console.

While the SEGUMA J1772-to-Tesla adapter doesn’t include extras like a charger lock, protective case, or extended warranty, it still delivers strong value, fast charging, and dependable performance at a competitive price.
