UK Charger Adapter Question (self.evs)

submitted 2 years ago by Apepollo11 to c/evs

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Hi,

I've recently bought my first EV - a 2014 Nissan Leaf - and hoping someone a bit more knowledgeable than me could help :)

The car itself has a Type 1 and CHAdeMo socket.

I have a Type 2 to Type 1 charging cable and a separate adapter plug, but I've found that some charging stations have Tesla branding and weird two-part plugs on that don't seem to fit.

In the interests of being able to use as many charging stations as possible, I'd really like to know which adapter would be most useful to buy!

(I've mentioned UK in the title, as I'm aware America likes to do its own thing when it comes to plugs.)

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks so much!

As gutted as I am that I can't use the CCS plugs at all (you were right, that is what I saw), at least I now know it can't be done.

I really appreciate the help, the explanations were really useful! Thanks again.
