EVHIKING CCS1 to CCS2 EV Charger Adapter — Type 1 (J1772) to Type 2, DC 1000V/400A & AC 250V/32A, thermal protection

EVHIKING CCS1 to CCS2 Adapter converts CCS1/SAE J1772 charging plugs to IEC62196 Type 2 for safe high-power charging of European EVs in the US.

This robust adapter lets European-spec electric vehicles charge from North American public and home charging stations by bridging CCS1/DC and Type 2 (CCS2) systems. It supports alternating current up to 32A at 250V and direct current bursts up to 400A at 1000V, with integrated temperature monitoring and silver-plated guide pins for improved conductivity. The kit ships in a heavy-duty impact-resistant box for secure transport and storage.

How does this adapter handle both DC fast charging and AC charging?

The EVHIKING adapter automatically recognizes and switches between DC CCS1 and AC Type 1/J1772 charging guns, so you can use a single accessory for different charging modes. It is built to withstand high DC currents and sustained AC charging up to its rated limits while keeping connections stable and safe.

• Automatic switching between DC CCS1 and AC Type 1/J1772 plugs for convenience.
• DC capability: up to 400A at 1000V for high-power fast charging.
• AC capability: up to 32A at 250V for standard alternating current charging.
• Silver-plated guide pins reduce contact resistance and heat build-up.

What safety features protect the vehicle and the adapter during charging?

The adapter continuously monitors temperature and includes thermal protection that pauses charging if internal temperatures exceed safe thresholds. It resumes automatically or after vehicle-side signal reset once temperatures drop below the specified level, helping reduce the risk of overheating-related damage.

• Real-time temperature detection with cutoff above 85°C and resume below 65°C.
• Durable construction and conductive silver plating minimize heating at contacts.
• Designed for operating temperatures from -30°C to 50°C for wide environmental use.

How do I install and use the EVHIKING CCS1 to CCS2 adapter correctly?

Using the adapter is straightforward: align and insert fully to the bottom of the charging gun to ensure a proper connection before initiating charging. Follow the normal charging procedure for the station and vehicle; some vehicles may require re‑insertion to restart charging after a thermal cutoff.

• Plug the adapter fully into the charging gun until it seats at the bottom.
• Connect the adapter end to the vehicle’s Type 2 inlet and start charging per station instructions.
• If charging stops due to temperature protection, allow cooldown and reinsert if the vehicle requires it.

What construction details make this adapter reliable over time?

EVHIKING engineered this adapter with materials and form factors intended for repeated public and home use. Silver-plated guide pins improve electrical contact and durability, and the included impact-resistant storage case protects the unit during transport and when not in use.

• Silver-plated guide pins for lower resistance and longer contact life.
• Sturdy housing rated for typical EV charging environments and temperatures.
• Includes a heavy-duty anti-impact box for storage and protection.

Who is this for: EVHIKING’s CCS1 to CCS2 adapter is intended for owners of European electric vehicles who need to charge in North America, fleet operators managing mixed-region chargers, or EV drivers who frequently switch between public fast chargers and AC stations. It’s a practical solution for anyone requiring reliable, high-current conversion between CCS1/SAE J1772 and IEC62196 Type 2 systems while prioritizing safety and durability.
