DetailsEvery EV sold new in Australia today uses the Type 2 AC inlet, so a Type 2 portable charger fits Tesla, BYD, MG, Kia, Hyundai, Polestar, Geely, Zeekr and other current models. Type 1 (J1772) is only on some older cars, such as the 2012–2018 Nissan Leaf and the pre-2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
- Bought new in the last few years? Almost certainly Type 2.
- Older Leaf or Outlander PHEV? Probably Type 1. Our EVSE Australia Type 1 portable charger ($399) fits.
- Not sure? Open the charging flap: Type 2 has 7 pin holes and a flat top; Type 1 has 5 and a latch.
- Type 2 drivers: the SEVR 10A portable charger for any power point, or the EVSE Australia 15A portable charger for a dedicated outlet.

How to check
Three ways to confirm your car's inlet
- Look at the inlet. Type 2: seven holes, flat top edge. Type 1: five holes, round with a notch for a latch.
- Check the owner's manual under charging. It names the connector.
- Check the cable that came with the car, if any. Its car-end plug matches your inlet.
