Connectors
- J1772 AC
- The standard AC connector on North American EVs other than Tesla. Every non-Tesla EV sold in the US can use it directly, and Teslas can with the adapter that ships with the car.
- Tesla / NACS AC
- Tesla’s connector, standardised as NACS (SAE J3400). The same plug carries both AC and DC, so a NACS socket alone does not tell you the speed — Superchargers are DC, Destination chargers are AC. Most North American manufacturers have committed to adopting the standard.

About this record
Source: the AFDC public station register. Availability changes faster than the register does, so treat port counts as the configured capacity rather than a live status — this record was last confirmed on 2026-08-27.
Port counts describe how the site is configured, not whether a given port is free right now. Check the operator's own app before setting out if you are relying on a specific charger.
