Adapters For Tesla/NACS EVs
Every Tesla vehicle comes standard with a J1772 adapter which allows Tesla to charge from any J1772 EVSE (usually public ones). If you've lost yours, you can buy a new one from Tesla directly, or from various third parties if Tesla is out of stock.
Most NACS vehicles just use Tesla Superchargers for charging during long trips. Depending on your routes or where you live, you might want to supplement your fast charging options with CCS chargers. Tesla sells a CCS adapter, as does A2Z which allows charging at various CCS stations.
PlugShare is a great site to find CCS stations.
Of course, EVs can charge from any electrical receptacle with an appropriate mobile EVSE. You can purchase a very capable Mobile Connector for NACS vehicles that supports a wide range of plug in adapters for eight different electric plugs. While the Mobile Connector comes with an adapter for a 15A household receptacle, you can buy other adapters from Tesla for many other receptacles. You can also buy adapters from EVSE Adapters for many other kinds of plugs (like a NEMA 6-30, TT-30 or locking plugs).
One problem with any corded EVSE (like the Tesla Mobile Connector) is that they typically only have a 20' long cord, and your receptacles could be farther away, especially if you are charging on the road in a random rented house or condo and are trying to reach a dryer receptacle.
You have two choices. You can buy an extension cord for the household plug side, in which case you need a specific extension cord for every type of plug you want to extend. Or you can now purchase an extension cord for the EVSE plug end (either a J1772 extension or a NACS plug extension), in which case it becomes a universal extension cord for any type of plug that your corded or mobile EVSE supports.
For the latter, here are a few products that will extend the EVSE plug end giving you a universal extension cord:
If all you need is a single extension cord for a known destination plug, here are some links:
- 15A/120V
- NEMA 6-20 20A/240V
- NEMA 10-30 30A/240V - older dryer receptacle
- NEMA 14-30 30A/240V - modern dryer receptacle
- NEMA 6-50 50A/240V
