I don't think there are any restrictions. I think j1772 might just work with an adapter (adapt from the nacs plug to the j1772 plug)

I thought tesla even made a j1772 native wall connector.

There are some restrictions.

I had the foolish idea of installing a Tesla charger at home to charge my Bolt. I’ve been unable to ever use it.

The wall charger works fine with Teslas. My car and adapter charge fine at Tesla superchargers.

But the home Tesla charger refuses to charge my Bolt. (Yes I disabled vehicle restrictions and tried all sorts of combinations of settings for weeks before giving up. Tesla support was useless of course)

Restriction or bug, same difference.

    Really gross. I have a gen 1 charger and it's dumb as bricks. Basically just a giant relay.

    I guess I could see why you might want to restrict who can use your charger, but I really prefer the "dumb as bricks" version I currently have.

Can confirm. I've used an adapter to charge 2 different non-Tesla cars off my wall connector.
