LENZ CCS1 Tesla NACS charging adapter for CCS EVs 🔌
Product description
This compact adapter lets CCS-equipped Teslas and NACS-format EVs access public CCS Level 3 DC fast chargers when Tesla Superchargers are not available, making longer trips or mixed-network charging simpler. It supports high-power charging up to 250 kW on compatible networks according to the manufacturer and is built with a rugged housing and carrying case for transport and storage.
Key Points
The adapter enables charging at thousands of CCS fast chargers such as Electrify America and EVgo, expanding where you can recharge on the road. It is engineered for DC fast charging safety and is SGS listed to UL 2251 and CSA C22.2 standards for electrical connector safety. Note that it only works with Teslas that have been enabled for CCS and with NACS EVs that accept this connection. It will not function with Cybertruck or pre-2021 Tesla models that lack CCS capability and is not compatible with vehicles using J1772-only or non-CCS ports. Temperature limits apply and the adapter should not be used in ambient temperatures above 122°F to avoid compromising integrity.

Usage Recommendations
Before relying on the adapter for a trip, confirm that your Tesla has CCS compatibility enabled by the manufacturer or via dealer activation. When connecting at a CCS fast charger follow the station’s instructions and ensure the adapter locks securely into both the charger and the vehicle port. Avoid use in temperatures above 122°F and inspect the adapter for damage before each use, as exposure beyond rated conditions may affect safe operation.
Nuances and Limitations
According to the manufacturer, the adapter is intended for DC fast charging only and does not provide AC charging capability. It is not compatible with non-CCS or J1772-only charging ports, and it cannot be used with Cybertruck or older Tesla models that have not received CCS capability.
