“It can also share power to maximize existing electrical capacity, automatically distribute power and allow you to charge multiple vehicles simultaneously,” Tesla wrote in a product description on the Tesla Shop website.
Tesla also revealed that its J1772 Wall Connector is compatible with most North American electric vehicles.
“Tesla vehicles will require an additional SAE J1772 Charging Adapter for charging, which is included with all Tesla vehicles upon delivery,” the Elon Musk-owned company added.
