Good to know
- Any J1772 Level 1/Level 2 charger plugs straight into a CCS1 port (the top half of the CCS1 inlet is a J1772 inlet).
- Tesla Superchargers (NACS) need an adapter provided or approved by YOUR vehicle maker; Tesla says third-party adapters are prohibited at Superchargers for safety reasons.
- GM's NACS DC Adapter (GM part numbers 85090442, 85836744, 85778137) works only at approved DC fast chargers; GM says it must not be used on Level 1/Level 2 AC home chargers and doing so can set trouble codes (P2E85, P0F71, P0D3F).
- Ford's Fast Charging Adapter (NACS) is required for F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E at upgraded Tesla Superchargers.
- Adapters are vehicle-maker specific: a GM adapter is not approved for a Ford, and vice versa.
