I’m getting our first electric charger for the work parking lot (USA). One of us got an electric vehicle that uses the J1772 connector.

After hearing about the NACS standardization, I didn’t think it made sense to buy a leviton charger than only does J1772 like our electrician recommended. He also said he knows very little about it and is learning too.

I was thinking of getting the Tesla Universal Wall Connector on the Pedestal instead to future proof (Can do J1772 and NACS).

  1. Does anyone know if the Tesla Universal Wall Connector with pedestal is good?
  2. How does access control work so only employees can use it?
  3. Is there a way to track who is using it for how much power so they can be billed?

Any help would be very appreciated. Even though I still drive gas I enjoy learning about this stuff.

    I’ve changed my mind on this with the mass NACS adoption. I would go NACS at this point for future-proofing. As others have noted, it’s about half the existing stock, and will be ~100% of new sales starting in 12 months. Many J1772 drivers will find themselves buying an adapter (I have). Either way, a large number of folks will need adapters if they want broad coverage in the near term.
