PowerBridge Standard (Gen 1) is for CCS-enabled Tesla vehicles only. It does not support non-Tesla EVs or third-party CCS-to-NACS adapter setups.
PowerBridge Pro (Gen 2) provides single-phase 240V output with no neutral. It is not standard North American 120/240V split-phase power by itself.
Any setup involving a home electrical panel, generator inlet, transfer switch, interlock, selected circuits, or household wiring must be evaluated and installed by a licensed electrician according to local electrical codes.
