Charging without a garage

No home charger? Stop planning your life around Superchargers.

Most Level 2 chargers near you use a J1772 handle, and your Tesla can't take it without help. An adapter turns workplaces, hotels and parking garages into your charging spots.

One adapter for slow and fast charging
Quick answer

Yes. If you can't install a wall box, a J1772 adapter lets your Tesla use the Level 2 chargers at workplaces, hotels, apartment garages and city parking, which often come with a J1772 handle and no Tesla cable.

A Tesla typically accepts 7 to 11 kW on AC, which adds roughly 25 to 40 miles of range every hour. That is roughly a full recharge in an eight-hour workday or night. OmniVolt also covers CCS1 fast charging when you are in a hurry.

Slow charging is everywhere you park.

7 places to plug in without a home charger

Slow charging fits into the time your car is parked anyway. You just need the right plug.

  1. Work: eight hours is a full recharge

    Many employers install Level 2 chargers, and a lot of them use J1772. At roughly 25 to 40 miles of range per hour, an eight-hour day adds about 200 to 320 miles.

    You arrive with a plan. You leave charged.

    • Typically 7-11 kW
  2. Hotels: the overnight you already paid for

    Hotels often offer Level 2 charging in the lot. Eight hours at roughly 25 to 40 miles per hour adds about 200 to 320 miles overnight.

    With an adapter, a J1772 charger is a real option, not a reason to skip the booking.

    • ~200-320 miles overnight
    J1772 on one end, CCS1 on the other
  3. Apartment and condo garages: ask one question

    Shared building chargers commonly use J1772. Ask your property manager: "Which plug is it?" If the answer is J1772, the adapter is the missing piece.

  4. Skip the wall-box installation.30-day money-back guarantee. Free US shipping.

  5. City and municipal parking

    Libraries, parks and public garages host Level 2 chargers, and many use a J1772 handle. Park, plug in and run your errands. The car does the rest.

  6. Friends' and family's garages

    A wall box with a J1772 handle is the most common home charger of all. With an adapter in your trunk, you can plug in at a relative's house without anyone buying a Tesla cable.

    Open the port and plug in
  7. Malls, grocery stores and dealerships

    Retail sites often host third-party chargers. Plugging in while you shop turns dead time into range.

  8. Slow charging at home base. Fast charging on the road.UL 2252 Listed. 3-year warranty.

  9. Fast chargers, when you are in a hurry

    The same OmniVolt adapter handles CCS1 DC fast charging up to 250 kW at stations like Electrify America, EVgo and ChargePoint.

    Level 2 for the everyday. Fast for the days that need it.

    • CCS1 up to 250 kW
    • J1772 up to 80 A
    One small box in the car

One adapter. Far more places to plug in.

Without a wall box, every extra place you can plug in is time you do not spend hunting for a charger.

With OmniVolt:

  • J1772 Level 2 stations open up
  • CCS1 fast charging when in a hurry
  • One adapter, one small case

Without an adapter:

  • Waiting on a Tesla cable
  • Fewer places to plug in overnight
  • Fast charging only at Superchargers

Teslas built before about 2020 may need a one-time hardware retrofit from Tesla for CCS1 fast charging. J1772 Level 2 charging does not need it.

Questions, answered

Does the adapter change how fast my Tesla charges on AC?

No. AC speed is set by your car's onboard charger and the station. The adapter passes it through.

Do I need the CCS retrofit for J1772 charging?

No. J1772 Level 2 charging works on Teslas of every age. The retrofit question only affects CCS1 fast charging on cars built before about 2020.

Is slow charging bad for the battery?

Level 2 is a gentle way to charge, and for daily use it is a common choice.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping is free in the U.S., with delivery in 7 to 15 business days.

If you can park near a charger, you can charge.

OmniVolt is the missing cable between your Tesla and the chargers you already pass every day.
