"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 are 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."
GM expanded its adapter offerings so nearly any GM EV can charge at different networks with the correct dongle. The initial adapter cost $225 and allowed CCS1-equipped EVs to connect to a NACS charger. Existing CCS1 GM EVs can use a GM NACS DC adapter for fast charging and a GM NACS level 2 adapter for AC charging. Future NACS-equipped GM EVs will have a GM CCS1 DC adapter to access non-Tesla DC networks and a GM J1772 AC adapter for ubiquitous slow charging. A pair of adapters will support GM's Energy Powershift home charger for vehicle-to-home capability. Adapter prices range between $67 and $195.
