Detailed Overview
For global EV distributors and owners of European-spec vehicles (such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or VW ID series originally built for the EU market) operating in North America, the CCS1 to CCS2 AC+DC Adapter is an essential piece of hardware.
Standard adapters often limit you to one type of charging. Our professional-grade “AC+DC” model is engineered to be the only tool you need. It manages the complex handshake between the North American CCS1 grid and your vehicle’s CCS2 BMS, ensuring that whether you’re at an Electrify America 350kW station or a hotel’s J1772 AC charger, your vehicle charges at maximum efficiency.

Safety & Trustworthiness
Operating at 1000V DC requires uncompromising safety standards. Our adapter is built with a “Safety-First” architecture:
-
Integrated Thermal Cut-off: Dual internal sensors monitor heat at both the input and output terminals. If temperatures exceed 85°C, the charging session is automatically throttled or terminated to protect the vehicle’s inlet.
-
Silver-Plated Contacts: We use premium copper alloy with 5μm silver plating. This reduces contact resistance significantly, minimizing heat generation during high-power 250kW sessions.
-
Isolation Protection: The internal AC and DC pathways are physically isolated to prevent electrical interference or arcing, ensuring the safety of your vehicle’s sensitive On-Board Charger (OBC).
-
Certifications: Fully compliant with CE, RoHS, and REACH, and tested against IEC 62196 safety requirements.

FAQ
-
Does this support 3-phase AC charging? While the CCS2 vehicle side supports 3-phase, the CCS1 input is single-phase. The adapter will safely deliver power to the vehicle on a single-phase AC circuit (up to 7.4kW/32A).
-
Is it compatible with 350kW chargers? Yes, it can be plugged into 350kW dispensers, but the adapter will cap the current safely at its rated 250A/250kW limit.
-
Does it lock into the car? Yes, the adapter supports the vehicle’s electronic locking mechanism for theft prevention and safety during charging.
