Is there any technical reason you can't build an adapter from NACS to CCS1? We have adapters for Tesla destination chargers (NACS without fast charging??) to J1

Is there any technical reason you can't build an adapter from NACS to CCS1? We have adapters for Tesla destination chargers (NACS without fast charging??) to J1772 and they work just fine.
- pornel 3y agoThe wire protocol of classic Tesla supercharging is custom, so it'd require electronic components, not just a physical adapter. It may be technically hard, e.g. ChaDeMo and CCS speak a different wire protocol, and there are no adapters for them. However, when the charging station can use the CCS protocol, it's only a matter a of physical adapter. Tesla's "Magic Dock" is it.
- bushbaba 3y agoNo technical reason. But the adapter might not be “small”
- vel0city 3y agoI dunno, this adapter doesn't seem to be exceptionally large. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BdukzpR7_ao/maxresdefault.jpg https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BdukzpR7_ao/maxresdefault.jpg
- bryanlarsen 3y agoAccording to the press release, they will be building those adapters and they will be available in 2024. Pre ~2020 North American Tesla's can't speak the CCS protocol and need a $200 upgrade to speak it. Presumably many of the Superchargers don't either. I imagine the delay is to upgrade the Superchargers to speak the CCS protocol so that a dumb adapter may be used rather than having to build an expensive smart adapter that can do protocol conversion.
