TESLA-CCS2 DC EV Adapter

Tesla to CCS2 EV DC adapter

"Tesla to CCS2" refers to using an adapter to allow a Tesla (using the North American Charging Standard (NACS) or SAE J3400 connector) to charge at a Combined Charging System (CCS) Type 2 port, common in Europe. This enables Tesla owners, especially those with imported US cars, to access the widely available CCS2 fast-charging networks, with adapters supporting high-speed DC charging and sometimes Type 2 AC charging. Some newer Teslas might need a CCS module retrofit for compatibility, while older models (pre-2019) often require this hardware upgrade.

1. Adapter Plugged In: The adapter connects to your Tesla's charging port (NACS/SAE J3400).

2. CCS2 Cable Connection: The CCS2 cable from the fast-charger then plugs into the adapter.

3. Charging: The adapter facilitates communication, allowing for DC fast charging (up to 250 kW or more) or slower AC charging (Type 2).

Key Components & Compatibility

NACS/SAE J3400: The Tesla (US) charging standard.

CCS Combo 2 (CCS2): The European standard for DC fast charging.

Adapters: Available from Tesla and third-party manufacturers, supporting DC and Type 2 AC.

Vehicle Compatibility: Most newer Model 3, Y, S, X work with an adapter; older models (pre-May 2019) often need a hardware retrofit from Tesla.
