SAE J1772 is a standard for electric vehicle (EV) charging connectors in North America. It defines the physical, electrical, and communication specifications for charging electric vehicles safely and efficiently. The connector is designed to work with various EV models, ensuring compatibility across different manufacturers. The SAE J1772 standard supports both Level 1 and Level 2 charging, allowing for different charging speeds. Level 1 uses a standard household outlet, while Level 2 requires a dedicated charging station. This versatility makes it easier for EV owners to find charging options that suit their needs.
