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

In 2018, the CHAdeMO Association introduced the second version of its connector, which allows you to charge up to 400kW. At home, the highest charging power rate is 22 kW, while public charging stations can have a charging power up to 43 kW, again depending on the charging power of your car and grid capability. It enables charging an electric car or a hybrid plug-in car, from a CEE 32A socket 3-phase when you have a portable charger with built-in CEE 32A. In November 2022, Tesla renamed its previously proprietary charging connector to the North American Charging Standard (NACS), making the specifications available to other EV manufacturers as an alternative to the CCS standard that is used by most competitors in North America. Conversion adaptors are a great solution for drivers that charge vehicles to a different Type or purchase another EV or PHEV of a different Type.

For DC charging, the SAE and European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) made a plan to add common DC wires to the existing AC connector types such that there would be only one "global envelope" that fitted all DC charging stations. This communication is used for safety-related functions, indicating for example if the connector is plugged in, before contacts are made live (or energized) and if both charging station and electric vehicle are ready for charging. Once you’ve plugged into the CCS connector and started charging, the connector will lock into place until charging is complete. The charging unit will usually have instructions to help with the details, but it’s a simple process that you’ll soon get used to.Since 2014 the European Union has required the provision of Type 2 or Combo 2 within the European electric vehicle charging network.

This will allow charging at over 500 kW (600 amps limit) and will also provide bidirectional charging. CHAdeMO sockets are only found on just a handful of new cars, for example the Nissan Leaf and the off van. Volkswagen built the first public CCS quick-charge station providing 50 kW DC in Wolfsburg in June 2013 to test drive the VW E-Up that was to be delivered with a DC rapid charger connector for CCS. If you find one of our products cheaper with any other Australian retailer, we promise to beat it by 5%.Most slow charging units are rated at up to 3 kW, a rounded figure that captures most slow-charging devices.

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. It’s extended version, CCS Combo 2, supports Direct Current charging which can fill battery with maximum 300AMP on supercharger stations.This connector comes with an in-built locking mechanism, so no one can easily remove or tamper with your charging cable without your permission. This type of connector is mainly found in North America and is used for home charging on AC electricity supplies. Nearly all manufacturers now use it on their new models including Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Polestar, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, MG, Jaguar, Mini, Peugeot, Vauxhall / Opel, Citroen, Nissan, and VW. The proposal for a "Combined Charging System" (CCS) was published at the 15th International VDI-Congress (Association of German Engineers) on 12 October 2011 in Baden-Baden. The following sections offer a detailed description of the main charge point types and the different EV charging connector types that are available.

CCS is currently the most widely used socket type in Europe and North America, including Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Daimler, Ford, GM, Porsche, Jaguar and Volkswagen all equipped with IEC or SAE. As with 50 kW rapid devices, cables are tethered to the unit, and provide charging via either CCS or CHAdeMO connectors. We make no warranty or representation that the Goods are made for any particular purpose and are under no liability whatsoever if the Goods purchased by you do not fit the purposes for which you purchased them for.Electric vehicles either have a Type 1 or Type 2 socket for slow/fast charging and CHAdeMO or CCS for DC rapid charging.
