Step 2: Connect the charger
When you’ve arrived at the right charging station, you can connect to a Tesla charger with the adapter. Make sure the Tesla plug is properly aligned with the adapter and insert it until it clicks into place. Wait about 30 seconds for the charger to recognize the adapter.

Step 4: Monitor the charging process
While your J1772 EV is charging, it's a good idea to monitor the charging process. You can do this through your car’s mobile app or by directly checking the status on the charging station display. Keep in mind that the charging time will vary depending on the power rating of the charging station and the battery level of your EV.

Step 5: Disconnect the adapter
When you’re done charging, press the release button on the adapter and gently pull it out of the charging port. Next, disconnect the Tesla charging handle from the adapter.
