Charging a Tesla at a CCS1 charger

Charging a Tesla at a CCS1 (Combined Charging System) charger involves a specific process due to Tesla's unique charging port design. Here’s how you can do it:

Check Compatibility: Ensure your Tesla model supports CCS1 charging. This typically applies to newer Tesla models like the Model 3 and Model Y in certain regions.

Required Equipment:

Symagal CCS1 to Tesla Adapter: You need a CCS1 to Tesla adapter. This adapter allows your Tesla to connect to CCS1 charging stations. It can be purchased from Symagal directly.

Locate a CCS1 Charger:

Find a CCS1 charging station using apps like PlugShare, ChargePoint, or the Tesla navigation system (if it supports CCS1 station integration).

Charging Process:

Park Correctly: Position your Tesla so that the CCS1 adapter can reach the charging port and the charging station's cable can reach the adapter.

Open Charging Port: Depending on your Tesla model, you might need to press a button on the charging port door or use the Tesla app to open it.

Connect CCS1 to Tesla Adapter: Plug the adapter into your Tesla's charging port.

Start Charging: Follow the instructions on the charging station (usually involves tapping a card or using an app to initiate the charging session).

Monitor Charging: Your Tesla’s touchscreen will display the charging progress and estimated time to completion.

Ending the Session: Once charging is complete, follow the charging station's instructions to stop the session and safely disconnect the CCS1 adapter from your Tesla.

Charging Speed: CCS1 chargers can provide fast DC charging speeds, which can significantly reduce charging time compared to AC chargers.

It's important to note that while Tesla’s Supercharger network uses a proprietary connector, Tesla has started adopting the CCS1 standard in some markets for newer models. Always check your specific Tesla model's compatibility and charging capabilities for CCS1 charging before attempting to charge at a CCS1 charger.
