EV Charging Adapters Explained – Four common adapter types and which ones you need

In this video, let’s take a look at four convenient adapters, two for each type of EV plug. Having these adapters on hand, you will be to charge your EV virtually anywhere.

For Tesla – J1772 to NACS (AC slow):

For Tesla – CCS1 to NACS (DC fast)

For CCS Cars – NACS to J1772 (AC slow)

For CCS Cars – NACS to CCS (DC Supercharger)

Teslas come with a single elegant NACS/J3400 port that handles both AC and fast DC charging. While, most non-Tesla EVs still come with a J1772 port for AC charging (at home or public parking), and a larger CCS1 port for fast charging at DC charging stations.

  1. I just bought the RAV4 GR and would like to know if I can just remove to lover plastic to accept CCS cables. I know it won’t be for fast charging but just ease of use while traveling
