J1772

J1772 is the SAE standard connector for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging in North America. Most portable Level 1 cords have a household plug on one end and a J1772 connector on the other.

The Department of Energy notes that Level 1 and Level 2 equipment use the same J1772 connector, and that Tesla vehicles come with a J1772 adapter so they can use non-Tesla Level 2 stations. The CCS plug adds two DC pins below the J1772 shape for fast charging.

The plug type does not change charging time. Power does. The EV charging time calculator works from kW, and the guide to EV charging levels explains each level.
