The transition from the CCS1 to the Tesla's NACS charging connector is expected to kill the SAE J1772 (AC) plug, because NACS can be used for both AC and DC.

I was wondering with all the talk of NACS, what would happen to J1772. I think I found the answer, unless folks here see it differently. Thanks!

    Still going to have ac charging at homes and parking lots. I think DC charging at gas station like businesses will be common, but the majority of charging will still be done at home.

      If passenger cars ever adopted MCS, they could update the standard to carry AC over the big pins, just like NACS.

      Though seeing it compared to CCS, perhaps it would be comically expensive for home charging. I guess it’s still smaller than a BFG9000.
