What is a NACS Charging Port?
As more EV manufacturers transition to the NACS standard, many homeowners have questions about what a NACS charging port looks like and whether it’s the right choice for their home. The NACS port is sleek, compact, and designed for high efficiency, making it a popular choice for both Tesla and non-Tesla EVs.

There are now an increasing number of Tesla NACS connector EV Chargers such as the Universal Wall Connector and the Tesla Wall Connector, as well non Tesla NACS EV charger such as Autel and Lectron. The other popular Tesla charger is the more versatile and movable Tesla Mobile Connector, which has a 240-volt and 120-volt charging adapter.
Will a NACS charger installation allow for faster charging in my Orange County home?
A Tesla Wall Connector is the most common type of home EV installation, but in general it will not allow for faster charging. Both the Tesla Wall Connector and other EV chargers such as the AEFA EV Charger all charge at similar charging speeds.
Is a NACS charger installation available as a level 2?
Yes. In fact, nearly all NACS charger installations we do in Orange County are for a level 2 EV charger.
Are NACS charger installation available as a hardwire installation or plug-in installation?
NACS EV chargers are available in both versions.
Is there a price difference between a NACS charger installation and J1772 charger installations?
There is no price difference between the two types of EV chargers for the purposes of a home EV install.
The number of NACS installs in Orange County will increase. Currently only the Japanese manufacturers have confirmed that they will remain with J1772 standard charging ports. In 2025 and 2026, more EV manufacturers will incorporate the NACS standard into their charging ports.
