How to charge a NACS Tesla in a CCS2 Market

Teslas & EVS Far from Home!

This guide is providing you with insights when importing or moving NACS EVs to CCS2 markets. With a main focus on AC and DC charging, as well as limitations focused on Tesla NACS vehicles in CCS2 markets. Automotive OEMs are using different charging outlets (charge ports) for different regions of this world. Most customers are unfortunately not aware of this!

These are the topics within the boundaries of this guide:

• Tesla’s NACS EV Charging Standard vs. CCS2 comparison
• General limitations faced when importing an electric vehicle from a NACS to a CCS2 market, focusing on Tesla vehicles
• How to perform AC and DC charging for an imported Tesla, both for slow and fast charging

NACS vehicles are produced for all North American markets, South Korea, Taiwan, and Tesla vehicles in Japan!

So you are in the right spot here if you were sent away by a Tesla or any other service center of an OEM and you were told that they can't help you.

This guide was specially created for owners of North American Teslas who plan to move to Europe or other parts of the world. It's also providing guidance to people who are considering importing or have already purchased a Tesla or any other NACS-equipped EV that was originally manufactured for the North American, South Korean, Taiwanese or Japanese (only Teslas) market.

⚠️ Attention: Please note, this document is not a general EV import/export guide, as it does not cover potential import regulations such as import taxes, VAT, or homologation requirements, which vary from country to country! It also does not contain any information regarding the activation of the vehicle navigation!
