The North American Charging System (NACS), standardized as SAE J3400, is an electric vehicle (EV) charging connector standard maintained by SAE International. [1] Developed by Tesla, Inc., it has been used by all North American market Tesla vehicles since 2021 and was opened for use by other manufacturers in November 2022.
The charger provides a constant current, typically the maximum current that the charger is capable of producing. As a result of this current, the battery absorbs a charge and its voltage rises. The charger limits the maximum voltage to U max , a constant or temperature-dependent maximum, typically around 2.4 V per cell.
CCS1 (Combined Charging System Combo 1) plug as used in North America. It is an extension of the J1772 standard AC charging connector.

Rapid chargers use DC (direct current) and operate at up to 50 kW, while ultra-rapid chargers span all the way from 50 kW to 350 kW. From a user’s point of view, all EV chargers work in broadly ...
A trickle charger is typically low-current (usually between 5–1,500 mA). They are generally used to charge small capacity batteries (2–30 Ah). They are also used to maintain larger capacity batteries (> 30 Ah) in cars and boats. In larger applications, the current of the battery charger is only sufficient to provide trickle current.
[7] [8] Evaluations at maximum current (3000 A) were conducted with cooling of both the inlet and the connector; for connector cooling only, current was limited to 1000 A, and without cooling, current was limited to 350 A. [9] Versions 2.0 through 2.4 of the MCS connector used "hairpin" shaped contacts, but it was later changed to version 3.0 ...
Level 3 direct current chargers are 15 times faster than Level 2 chargers at a rate of 3 to 20 miles per minute. Level 3 chargers are cut off at 90% capacity to prevent battery depletion, which is ...
Typical public AC charger installation. Tethered (cable permanently attached) & untethered (dedicated socket outlet only) configurations. 3φ: 32A: 480V 4 EVSE rectifies AC grid & supplies DC power to EV using tethered cable with bidirectional communication – 200A: 400V DC, dedicated (IEC 62196-3) "fast DC" Current conversion handled by EVSE ...
