You didn’t mention your location, but outside North America, all cars use the same Type 2 plug.

I’m in Vermont.

Yes, it’s fine. I have a Tesla Wall Charger and use it for both my Model Y and my Hummer with an adapter. Or, you could get a charger with a J1772 end and use the adapter that comes with the Tesla.

Be careful when buying a NACS (Tesla) to another plug adapter. Some, like the Lectron Vortex Plug, only work with DC fast chargers and won’t work with home or portable AC chargers. I use the Lectron NACS to J1772 adapter, which works perfectly with my home charger.

Yes, they can share the same charger. Just get an adapter if needed—they’re easy to find and affordable.
