What is the North American Charging Standard (NACS)?
The NACS is a charging system created by Tesla that is being adopted across North America. NACS chargers are available for both public charging and home use.
Why do I need an adapter?
Since Tesla chargers use the NACS port while Rivian and Ford use the CCS1 port, adapters are required for Rivian and Ford vehicles to plug into Tesla Superchargers.
To charge at Level 1 and Level 2 AC NACS chargers, a different Tesla to J1772 adapter is required, which can be found in our shop.Provide an answer
Is your NACS Adapter safe to use with my EV?
Yes! Our Adapter incorporates two temperature sensor safety switches inside the adapter. The first sensor reduces the charging voltage upon reaching a certain temperature, while the second sensor halts charging altogether if the temperature becomes too hot. Charging can resume once the temperature normalizes and the adapter is reconnected. Our adapter shell is also built from flame retardant material that has a Flame retardancy rating of UL94-V0
Which Supercharger locations are available to my Rivian R1T, R1S and Ford F-150 Lightning or Mach-E?
Tesla has allocated 1,000+ Supercharger stalls for NACS in North America. To see the list of compatible chargers, use the Tesla mobile map or visit Tesla’s interactive map.
What should I do if the Tesla Supercharger cord is too short to reach my EV?
Tesla Superchargers do have bays available at the end that provide extra room. If those are not available, you may need to occupy two spots.
We also recommend our NACS Supercharger Extension cord from our shop.
Are your Adapters available worldwide?
Currently our NACS to CCS Adapter is only available in North America.
What output can I expect in my EV? Do the same charge speeds apply as they do for Teslas?
Our Adapter is rated for 500A and 1,000V. You can achieve charging speeds up to 250Kw. However, your actual charging rate depends on the Tesla Supercharger output, how many other vehicles are charging and your vehicle's onboard charging specifics. Charging speeds will vary.
Does Tesla, Ford or Rivian guarantee that this will work with their Superchargers?
It's important to note that Tesla, Ford and Rivian do not offer guarantees for third-party compatibility. For the most up-to-date guidance on using non-Tesla charging adapters with Superchargers, we recommend reaching out to Tesla directly.
What type of locking mechanism is on this adapter? Is there a “lock” between the charger and adapter/adapter to the vehicle?
The adapter features a single locking mechanism : The top latch ensures proper interlock between the adapter and the vehicle's charge port. The top locking mechanism (CCS1 latch) controls through a set of springs the NACS side locking pin. If the adapter is locked by the charge port's locking mechanism, the NACS connector can't be removed from the adapter.
Will the NACS Adapter work with Level 2 Tesla charger
No, the adapter is a DC adapter designed exclusively for safe use with Superchargers only. To charge your EV at Level 2 Tesla Chargers, we recommend our Tesla to J1772 adapter. This adapter is compatible with Tesla High Powered Wall Connectors, Destination Chargers of all generations, and Mobile Connectors.
How do I activate a Tesla Supercharger if Ford plug-and-charge isn't working?
Plug & Charge is a feature that automatically recognizes your vehicle when you plug in at a Tesla Supercharger locations. Simply park at a participating charging station, plug in your vehicle, and your charging session will begin. Plug & Charge is enabled once you activate your BlueOval Charge Network™ access, and each charging session is automatically billed to the active card linked to your Ford account.
