I’m getting our first electric charger for the work parking lot (USA). One of us got an electric vehicle that uses the J1772 connector.

After hearing about the NACS standardization, I didn’t think it made sense to buy a leviton charger than only does J1772 like our electrician recommended. He also said he knows very little about it and is learning too.

I was thinking of getting the Tesla Universal Wall Connector on the Pedestal instead to future proof (Can do J1772 and NACS).

  1. Does anyone know if the Tesla Universal Wall Connector with pedestal is good?
  2. How does access control work so only employees can use it?
  3. Is there a way to track who is using it for how much power so they can be billed?

Any help would be very appreciated. Even though I still drive gas I enjoy learning about this stuff.

    A winery we frequent and their nearby diner bought two different destination chargers. They sit outdoors, have screens, J1772 and wifi control. Both places replaced with Tesla dumb wall boxes and their problems stopped. No screens, no WiFi authorization.
