No. The Vortex Plug supports up to 500A and 1,000V DC (500 kW capacity), exceeding the output of current NACS DC fast chargers and V3/V4 DC fast chargers (250 kW–350 kW). Your actual speed depends on your vehicle's onboard charging specifics, battery state of charge, and ambient temperature.

Yes. Every Tesla Supercharger on the Tesla Supercharger network is known for higher uptime. It unlocks access to more fast-charging locations for gm ev drivers and other approved non-Tesla EV users. Carrying this portable adapter allows you to seamlessly locate applicable Tesla Superchargers and access additional chargers to minimize road trip downtime. That wider charging network also makes ev trip plans easier on longer drives.

Ensure the fast charger coupler latches are locked to the charge station's NACS connector, place the adapter securely on the coupler, then insert it fully into your vehicle charge port. Confirm your vehicle mobile app or Tesla app is connected to an active account so you can pay and initiate the session or follow the prompt to begin charging, and make sure a device data connection (or device data connection required) is active. If errors persist, verify your vehicle settings for pending updates or try another stall. Service availability can vary by station, so check the app if the session will not start.

Weighing approximately 2 lbs, this compact DC adapter easily fits into your glove box, trunk compartment, or charging bag for travel. It’s a portable adapter designed for easy storage while you’re on the go. It should not be stored outdoors when not in use.

No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, aftermarket charging adapters or charge cord adapters do not affect remaining warranty coverage or void your vehicle warranty / vehicle limited warranty unless improper use causes direct vehicle damage or failure of vehicle components resulting from misuse.

Yes. Built with heavy-duty thermoplastic and solid copper contacts, this NACS adapter is designed for frequent daily use at compatible fast charging stations across fleet vehicles with DC fast charge capability.

Check automaker updates or maps at tesla.com/NACS, and add your vehicle details to the Tesla app to locate applicable Tesla Superchargers with over 25,000 accessible Tesla stations, using the map filters to search by plug type or the compatible plugs section when available. Route tools can also help you plan charging stops more efficiently.

It enables CCS1-equipped EVs to utilize applicable NACS chargers across the Tesla Supercharger network for high-voltage DC fast charging, helping drivers use existing CCS1 vehicles with the growing NACS charging buildout while still relying on both old and new infrastructure during the transition. Broader automaker adoption is also moving the industry forward toward NACS access.

This DC adapter designed exclusively for CCS1-equipped EVs works with DC fast chargers and is intended for compatible EVs with CCS1 inlets that have Supercharger access, including vehicles from approved automakers like Ford, GM, Rivian, Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, Volvo, Polestar, Mercedes-Benz, and Nissan. NACS supports both AC and DC fast charging through a unified plug format, and NACS combines Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast charging into a single connector design, even though this adapter itself is for DC fast charging only.

You can use supported V3 and V4 NACS stations and NACS-compatible charge stations. The NACS connector is smaller and lighter than CCS1 connectors, and it uses the same power pins for both AC and DC charging. It is not compatible with Tesla Destination Chargers, Level 1/2 AC power, or connecting Tesla cars to other DC fast chargers. It is not for home chargers.

It supports up to 500A and 1,000V NACS DC output, delivering up to 150 miles of range in 15 minutes depending on your charging session, battery status, and station capacity.

Park at the end row of a NACS charging station or find a wider stall to reach the charge port without blocking adjacent charging stations. If it still does not reach, move to another stall.

Yes, it is fully supported at applicable Tesla Superchargers and applicable NACS chargers across both the United States and Canada. Canadian EV owners should check automaker and app support, as service availability may be subject to regional coverage and station access.

It features advanced thermal sensors, a durable housing, and manual release latches on the NACS fast charger coupler to prevent electric shock risks or accidental disconnections during high-power sessions. Some convenience features may depend on the latest software update or future vehicle software updates for compatibility and feature improvements. OTA or over the air updates can support charging improvements on eligible vehicles.

The Vortex Plug features a manual locking latch and adheres to UL 2252 design standards to protect your vehicle's charging system and internal vehicle components, whereas the Vortex Plus includes an automaker-approved automatic dual interlock mechanism and carries official UL 2252 certification by SGS. The Vortex Plug was developed as a ready-to-use portable solution for approved charging access. While company plans to produce adapters through multiple suppliers can support availability at the company level, compatibility remains subject to vehicle and station requirements.
