As GM prepares to switch its EVs to NACS, it has some new adapters
The first adapter that GM released, which cost $225, allowed CCS1-equipped EVs to connect to a NACS charger. But now, GM will have a range of adapters so that any of its EV customers can charge anywhere, as long as they have the right dongle.
For existing GM EVs with CCS1, there is a GM NACS DC adapter, just for fast charging. And for level 2 (AC) charging, there’s a GM NACS level 2 adapter.
For the NACS-equipped GM EVs (which, again, have yet to hit the showrooms), there’s a GM CCS1 DC adapter that will let those EVs use existing non-Tesla DC charging infrastructure, like Electrify America’s 350 kW chargers. There is also a GM J1772 AC adapter, which will let a GM NACS EV slow-charge from the ubiquitous J1772 port. And a pair of adapters will be compatible with GM’s Energy Powershift home charger, which lets an EV use its battery to power the house if necessary, also known as vehicle-to-home or V2H.
Although we don’t have exact prices for each adapter, GM told Ars the range costs between $67 and $195.
