CCS2 to CCS1 cable
The ultimate conversion solution for high-capacity DC fast charging. Our 400A CCS2 to CCS1 adapter cable allows vehicles with a CCS1 (Combo 1) inlet to tap into the high-output power of CCS2 (Combo 2) European-standard charging stations. Capable of handling up to 400kW, this cable is engineered with high-purity copper and silver-plated terminals to maintain stability during extreme current loads. Designed for highway hubs and commercial fleet logistics.

High-Amperage Engineering for Global Fleet Mobility
Bridging the 400kW Threshold
As 800V vehicle architectures (such as the GMC Hummer EV, Ford F-150 Lightning, and Hyundai Ioniq 5) expand globally, the need for high-current conversion has moved to the 400A ceiling. Our CCS2 to CCS1 cable is specifically designed for the “boost mode” requirements of ultra-fast charging stations. we ensure minimal voltage drop and peak efficiency even at 1000V/400A.
Engineering Expertise & Safety Integrity
Reliability in 400A DC charging is achieved through precise thermal and mechanical engineering:
-
Advanced Thermal Management: At 400A, heat is the primary failure mode. We incorporate dual PT1000 temperature sensors directly onto the DC power terminals. These sensors provide real-time thermal data to ensure the handshake between the charger and vehicle remains stable, with an automatic safety cutoff if internal temperatures exceed 85℃.
-
Superior Contact Technology: We utilize 5μ silver-plated copper alloy for all power pins. Silver provides the lowest possible contact resistance (≤ 0.5mΩ), preventing the oxidation and micro-arcing that typically occur in standard connectors during high-current sessions.
-
Passive Cooling Efficiency: Through an optimized internal layout and high-strength heat-dissipative shells (UL94 V-0 fireproof), this cable achieves 400A continuous performance via natural air cooling, eliminating the maintenance complexity of liquid-cooled systems for most destination and highway applications.
-
Ruggedized Ingress Protection: Rated at IP67 (Body), the cable is sealed against high-pressure water jets and fine dust. It is designed to survive a 2-ton vehicle drive-over test, ensuring it remains operational in high-traffic commercial environments.

Cold Weather Performance: Our TPU jacket remains flexible at $-40^\circ\text{C}$, preventing the cable from becoming brittle or unmanageable in extreme winter climates.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can this cable handle Tesla Superchargers in Europe?
A: Yes, for vehicles with a CCS1 inlet. This cable enables CCS1 vehicles to use the open-access CCS2 Supercharging network, provided the vehicle’s software supports the charging handshake.
Q: Does it support AC charging as well?
A: Yes. This adapter cable supports both DC fast charging and Type 2 to Type 1 AC charging, providing a versatile all-in-one solution for your vehicle.
Q: Is the 400A rating continuous or peak?
A: Our cable is engineered for 400A continuous charging. It can handle higher “boost” currents for short durations (under 15 minutes) as long as the internal temperature remains below the 85℃ safety threshold.
