The transition from the CCS1 to the Tesla's NACS charging connector is expected to kill the SAE J1772 (AC) plug, because NACS can be used for both AC and DC.

I was wondering with all the talk of NACS, what would happen to J1772. I think I found the answer, unless folks here see it differently. Thanks!

    Indeed. In Europe all chargers have CCS2.

    All cars come with CCS2 as well, except for some very old cars, which carry a CCS2 adapter.

      Europe never used J1772, so that standard won’t be replaced over here. Europe standardised IEC 62196 Type 2 (the “Mennekes” plug) in 2013, so the whole question doesn’t apply to the EU.

          Their adoption is completely abysmal. But the EVs and PHEVs they do have are all J1772 and CHAdeMO with the exception of Tesla that use their connector.

          I was just over there, I saw 1 Tesla and 4 Nissan Leafs. And one decade old charging station.

          But, zero hydrogen cars!!
