Tesla has recently announced a substantial price reduction for both the CCS adapter and retrofit options across North America, impacting customers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
CCS Adapter Price Drop
Tesla has reduced the price of its CCS (Combo 1 – North America) adapter from $250 USD to $125 USD ($345 CAD to $175 CAD), making it one of the most competitively priced OEM adapters available today. This 50% price cut is a significant saving for Tesla owners looking to expand their charging options.
CCS Retrofit Details
The CCS retrofit is essential for Tesla vehicles manufactured before approximately September 2022 (depending on the model and region) that need to charge at CCS stations. This retrofit comes with a compatible CCS-to-NACS adapter, allowing older Tesla models to utilize CCS charging networks.
| Vehicle Model | New Price (USD) | Previous Price (USD) | New Price (CAD) | Previous Price (CAD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model S / X | $300 | $450 | $415 | $615 |
| Model 3 / Y | $225 | $350 | $310 | $475 |
It’s important to note that the CCS adapter is included with the retrofit and cannot be purchased separately at a lower price.
Checking Your Vehicle's Compatibility
If you are unsure whether your Tesla supports CCS charging, you can easily verify this by navigating to Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information on your Tesla's interface. Here, you'll find details on whether your vehicle is equipped for third-party CCS charging or requires a retrofit.
Expansion of NACS to CCS Adapter Production
In addition to the price reductions, Tesla has ramped up production of the NACS to CCS adapter for non-NACS vehicles, reaching an impressive milestone of 8,000 units per week. This increase in availability ensures that more Tesla owners can access a broader range of charging options.
Tesla's efforts to streamline charging standards and improve the availability of charging infrastructure demonstrate their commitment to enhancing the overall EV experience.
