[FAQ] - Don't overthink the NACS native port transition…because it doesn't matter

[CandianPorsche83]

the adapter is already compatible - but Tesla has not authorized or allowed those car vendors to charge yet - it's not a phyiscal/technical problem - it's a business/biling/accounts/negotiation problem…

all those cars for example work at a MagicDock equipped site - and it's not the adapter that is making that happen - it's that MagicDock sites allow a wider range of vehicle's to start a charging session…

Tesla is controlling access to their network and you vehicle manufacturer has to be "on the list" for your car to charge there:


at not yet on the list but they all have press releases stating that access is "coming" - exactly when is up to anyone's guess but it will happen…

my guess is by 2026 this will all be behind us and the sites that work will be known and the sites that don't work will be known and we can all plan accordingly…

Thanks! @daveo4EV

More cars just got Supercharger access.

Is there a way to have the navigation map in the Macan (or if not, plug share) able to show nacs slow charging stations and route to them? Not a huge value to get the charger and not know where such chargers exist. Sure, I can turn on nacs (at least in plug share) but u can't seem to distinguish between super and slow chargers.

this thread notes a promising new entry into the NACS Supercharger to CCS1 vehicle adapter product list…

the original TeslaTap people have a "kit" that includes the two adapters that any J-1772/CCS1 vehicle can benefit from:

You can post that you contacted us and we will have a COMBO kit available later today.
https://www.teslatapinc.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=60

The combo kit will include:
1 X SuperTap
1 X SuperTap Case
1 X TeslaTap MINI 80
1 X TeslaTap MINI storage pouch.

The combo kit will sell for $ 429.90 (Savings of $120.00)

the SuperTap will not work yet with VW/Audi/Porsche EV's - but it should in the future when Tesla+(VW/Audi/Porsche) complete their announced agreement for supercharger access sometime in 2025…the TeslaTap MINI 80 will work at Tesla Destination chargers today (not superchargers).

but in the mean time this kit is the two adapters legacy J-1772/CCS1 vehicles will need to access NACS chargers now and in the future!
