NexwayEV Launches New Type 1 (J1772) AC EV Charging Connector for the North American Market

6/10/2026

As electric vehicle adoption continues to accelerate across North America, reliable and durable charging equipment has become increasingly important for both residential and commercial charging applications. NexwayEV is proud to introduce its newly upgraded Type 1 AC EV Charging Connector, specifically designed for vehicles equipped with the SAE J1772 charging standard. Combining safety, durability, ergonomic design, and long-term reliability, this connector delivers a dependable charging experience in a wide range of environments.

Designed for North American EV Charging Standards

The NexwayEV Type 1 charging connector is fully compatible with the widely adopted SAE J1772 interface, making it suitable for most electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles in North America. Whether installed on home charging stations, workplace chargers, or commercial charging infrastructure, it provides secure and efficient AC charging performance.

Key Features

1. Secure Metal Locking Mechanism for Enhanced Safety

The connector features a high-strength metal locking hook that ensures a firm physical connection during charging. This robust locking system helps prevent accidental disconnections and maintains stable power transfer throughout the charging session, improving both safety and reliability.

2. Ergonomic Design for Everyday Convenience

User comfort is a critical aspect of charging equipment design. The Type 1 connector incorporates an ergonomically shaped housing and a carefully engineered thumb-release button, allowing users to easily operate the connector even during frequent daily use. The streamlined appearance also complements modern EV charging installations.

3. UL94 V-0 Flame-Retardant Protection

Safety remains a top priority. The connector housing is manufactured from high-strength thermoplastic engineering materials and meets the stringent UL94 V-0 flame-retardant standard. In the event of exposure to high temperatures, the material is designed to self-extinguish quickly, helping reduce fire risks and improve operational safety.

4. Built for Tough Conditions

Designed for demanding real-world applications, the connector has undergone rigorous durability testing. It can withstand drops from heights of up to 1 meter and endure vehicle crushing loads of up to 2 tons while maintaining structural integrity. This rugged construction makes it suitable for both residential and high-traffic commercial charging environments.
