Lectron CCS Combo 2 Adapter - CCS2 to Type2 Connector Adapter Compatible with Tesla Model S/X - Easily Charge Your Tesla with Wider Charging Network

Product Information

If you have an older EV with a Type 1 socket, one of the cables in the boot will have a Type 1 plug at one end and a Type 2 plug at the other. On a 3-phase electricity supply – the kind you might find at work – Type 2 charging points can charge at 22 kW. Electric vehicles or electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) are CCS-capable if they support either AC or DC charging according to the standards listed by the CCS.

This has led to predictions that CCS1 will soon be obsolete, as it is bigger, heavier and more expensive than NACS. In this case the charging station uses the duty cycle of the PWM to inform the onboard charger of the maximum available current at the charging station (A pulse width of 5% indicates that HLC shall be used). These cables enable an EV to connect to most untethered charge points, while use of tethered units require using the cable with the correct connector type for the vehicle.Because of the longer charging times over fast units, slow public charge points are less common and tend to be older devices. Simply plug your existing tethered cable into the adaptor and then plug into your vehicle and start charging! CHAdeMO sockets are only found on just a handful of new cars, for example the Nissan Leaf and the off van. Most of EVs created nowadays have Type 2 or CCS Combo 2 (that also has backward compatibility of Type 2) socket. The CCS Type 1, also known as the Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 1) or SAE J1772 Combo connector, integrates the J1722 Type 1 plug with two additional high-speed DC fast charging pins.

Almost all of the fast-charging stations in the EU use three types of plugs: DC cHadeMO; AC Type 2 and DC Combined Charging System (CCS2). For any technology to become a standard it has to go through due process in a standards development organization, such as ISO, IEC, and/or SAE.These are the original plugs, either Type 1 or Type 2, to which two more pins are added at the bottom. CHAdeMO: This quick charging system was developed in Japan, and allows for very high charging capacities as well as bidirectional charging. The EU recommends Type 2 connectors and they are sometimes referred to by the official standard 62196-2. Most EV drivers purchase a portable charging cable that matches their vehicle’s Type 1 or Type 2 socket so that they can charge on public networks.
