Ccs1 vs 2 comes down to the fact that the base plug (the ac part) has to be different between the two. Europe supports 3 phase because it's common there, while the NA plug doesn't, because 3 phase is unheard of in residential installations, and it has to support 120 level 1 charging.
- wilg 4y agoDoesn't seem like it has to be different, right? The Tesla/"NACS" plug supports three-phase.
- Dylan16807 4y agoHow? Are you sure? It has two big power pins, one smaller pin dedicated to ground, and two tiny pins that look completely unsuited for power. There's a "mobile connector" that can convert 3 phase, but that has an entirely different plug on the wall side.
- wilg 4y agoI think it doesn't actually, nevermind.
- mike_d 4y agoIn the US Tesla uses its own proprietary connector, in Europe they use the Mennekes plug. Hence why they are calling this the "North American charging standard."
- morio 4y agoHuh? CCS1, CCS2 and NACS are DC. You are probably thinking Type 2 (Europe) which is indeed 3 phase and j1772 (US) which is single phase.
- Dylan16807 4y agoYour distinction doesn't matter. They're talking about the plug/socket shape, which is shared between DC and AC standards.
- xxpor 4y agoLook up the difference between CCS1 and 2. It's just J1772 vs Type 2. The DC part is the same.
