Our interest at modular EV power relates to supplying electrical power to the vehicle, using J1772 parts.

Aluminum SAE J1772:2010(tm)    A1
Vehicle Inlet Coupler to NEMA 14-50 Adapter
UL Listed SAE J1772:2010(tm)     A2
Vehicle Inlet Coupler to NEMA 14-50 Adapter

 

Original Hand Crafted Aluminum J1772 adapters.

 

Now that production electric vehicles are ready for sale and public charging stations are being installed with the new J1772 connectors, what can someone with a vehicle that presently has a NEMA 14-50 connector do?  This adapter fills the gap between the NEMA and the new J1772 technology.
Rated at 40 Amps. 

 

 

First all UL listed parts J1772 adapter are ready.

We received the UL Listed J1772 inlet connectors from ITT a few days ago.  The first batch is done and tested.
Rated at the full 50 Amps of the NEMA 14-50.  All the parts are UL listed.

An empty box with an ITT 75 Amp Inlet connector.  These are used for use with an Avcon Claw to older EV's, to make special adapters, or to make an extension cable.


Some people want a switch on the adapter.  The switch lets the J1772 system connect but not provide power when in the OFF position.  Then when you are ready changing it to CHARGE changes the pilot signal and the J1772 control provides the 240 volt power to actually charge the car.  This is what our AVC1 Active Vehicle Control board does automatically.  The switch makes the J1772 connection include all the steps.  Our standard adapters with out this switch take advantage of the different pin lengths in the J1772 connector.  The pilot is the last to make and the first to break which does the same thing.  If you want one of these switches it adds $10 to the adapter and can only be put on the units with the two connectors on one side.  The compact units just don't have room in the box.
