There is definitely a Tesla Level 2 -> CCS adapter, but no such luck for Superchargers. Not sure about Chademo, which is what a lot of the Leaf line uses.

- cptskippy 6y ago> Tesla Level 2 -> CCS A what now? I haven't seen anything CCS related in the US. Is that a European accessory? Don't all Teslas outside the US ship with CCS standard? The US Teslas come with a J1772-to-Tesla adapter so you can use L2 Chargers. There is a ChaDeMo-to-Teska adapter for $400. No idea why anyone would want this though, ChaDeMo is rare and, in my experience with my Leaf, often broken.

ChDeMo is a better connection in some regards (can feed energy back to the grid for example), but they are a lot fiddlier than CCS and Type2, which are just huge chunks of thick plastic.
- bildung 6y agoCCS is the international standard for EV charging: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_Charging_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_Charging_System very common outside of the US, they are mandatory in Europe for example.
- cptskippy 6y agoYes, I'm confused by "Tesla Level 2 -> CCS"? Teslas outside of the US have shipped with CCS since early 2019. Older Teslas had the proprietary port. What is a "Tesla Level 2"? There exists an adapter to convert CCS to the proprietary Tesla connector but that's not L2.
