Charge Your Type 2 Car at a Type 1 Station

You drive a European Type 2 EV. The station has a Type 1 connector.
Type 1 AC stations are common in North America and parts of Asia. Your Type 2 car can use them.

Type 2 (IEC 62196-2) is the AC charging standard for most European and newer EVs. Type 1 (SAE J1772) is the AC charging standard widely used in North America and Japan. ChargePapa's Type 2 to Type 1 adapter lets your Type 2 vehicle plug into Type 1 AC charging stations — no network switching required.

  • ⚡ Charge your Type 2 EV at Type 1 AC stations — Access J1772 charging networks in North America and Asia
  • 💪 Up to 50A / 32A supported — Compatible with standard Level 2 AC charging output
  • 🔌 Simple passive adapter — Type 1 and Type 2 share the same AC charging protocol; no active conversion required

Before you buy — confirm two things

  • 🚗 Your car's inlet: Type 2 (IEC 62196-2) — standard on most European and newer EVs
  • 🔌 The station's connector: Type 1 (SAE J1772) — standard at North American and Japanese AC charging stations

Check your vehicle's maximum AC charge rate before use. The adapter will charge at the lower of the two rated currents.
