Hi Everyone,

Does anyone here have experience with NACS adapters? I have a Nissan Ariya (CC3 charging port) and would like to use Tesla's supercharger network occasionally. Nissan sells a NACS adapter through their website for $244 USD, but it likely costs more than it should. Does anyone have recommendations for a generic CC3 to NACS adapter?

Thanks!

I got the Lectron CCS to NACS adapter. Nice and sturdy. Think it cost around $200, maybe a bit less.

Do note that CCS to NACS adapters should only be used on a supercharger, never on an AC charger. Teslas use the same exact plug shape for both, whereas cars with the J1772/CCS plug have physically different plugs for the different types of chargers (DC fast charging vs AC charging). That means if you want to charge at a Tesla destination charger you'll need another adapter for J1772 to NACS. Fortunately those are much cheaper, like $50.

Thank you, I did not know that.

I've just seen people on YouTube talk about it. There's like 2-3 reputable manufacturers. Imo, try not to use Tesla. See Plugshare for all the chargers in your area, from all the diff networks.

I frequently see a line of cars at one network and then 0 cars at another network around the corner.
