Type 1 to Type 2 EV Charger Adapter — SAE J1772 to IEC 62196, 32A

The Type 1 to Type 2 EV Charger Adapter (SAE J1772 to IEC 62196) gives Type 1 electric vehicles full access to Australia's public Type 2 charging network — rated to 32A (7.4kW single-phase), IP54 weather-sealed, with firm retention clips for secure connections at outdoor stations. Australia's public AC charging network is predominantly Type 2 (Chargefox, Evie Networks, NRMA EV, shopping centres), so this adapter effectively opens the full public network to Type 1 vehicle owners.

This adapter is compatible with all Type 1 (SAE J1772) EVs in Australia, including Nissan Leaf (all generations), Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV, and Holden Volt. It works at any Type 2 (IEC 62196) public AC charger, home wallbox, or Tesla Destination Charger across Australia. The Nissan Leaf charges at up to 6.6kW AC — this adapter is rated to 7.4kW so it introduces no speed bottleneck.

IP54 splash-proof housing handles outdoor charging station conditions including rain and humidity across Australia. Quality-moulded connectors with firm retention clips ensure a secure, rattle-free connection at the socket. Compact enough to keep permanently in your charging bag for every journey.

Need the reverse direction? See the Type 2 to Type 1 adapter, or for Tesla Destination Chargers the Type 1 to Tesla adapter. Browse the full EV charger adapter range at Tes Accessories.

Q: What cars use a Type 1 (J1772) charging port in Australia?

A: Common Type 1 vehicles in Australia include the Nissan Leaf (all generations), Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV, and Holden/Chevrolet Volt. Newer EVs — Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model Y, BYD, Hyundai IONIQ 6, Kia EV6 — use Type 2 and do not need this adapter.

Q: Can I use a public Type 2 charger with a Nissan Leaf in Australia?

A: Yes, with this adapter. The Nissan Leaf has a Type 1 (J1772) inlet. This adapter connects the Type 2 station cable to the Leaf's inlet, allowing charging at any public Type 2 AC station, home wallbox, or Tesla Destination Charger in Australia. The Leaf charges at up to 6.6kW — this adapter's 7.4kW rating creates no bottleneck.

Q: Does using this adapter reduce charging speed?

A: No. Rated to 32A (7.4kW), this adapter exceeds the onboard charger limit of all current Type 1 vehicles in Australia. Charging speed is determined by your vehicle's onboard charger, not the adapter.

Q: Is this adapter compatible with Tesla Destination Chargers in Australia?

A: Yes. Tesla Destination Chargers in Australia use a Type 2 outlet (Gen 2 Wall Connector). This adapter connects that Type 2 outlet to your vehicle's Type 1 inlet — giving Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi PHEV owners access to Tesla's hotel and shopping centre charging network.
