Charging Time

Charging time may vary according to charging station power, ambient temperature, and battery temperature. If the temperature of the adapter reaches 180 °F, the vehicle will reduce the charging power. If the temperature reaches 185 °F, the charging will shut off.

Connecting the Adapter

Open the Tesla charge port.
Insert the CCS1 charging cable into the CCS1 port on the adapter. It will click firmly in place.
Insert the adapter into the Tesla charge port and wait for the vehicle to signal that it has accepted the charger with a pulsating green “T” light next to the charge port (the touchscreen also shows the real-time charging status).
- Note: The insert stopper on the adapter will keep it from being inserted too far and damaging the vehicle’s charge port.
Begin charging according to the charging station’s guidelines. Check your Tesla touchscreen to make sure it’s charging.

Note: Make sure that the adapter and CCS1 charging cable are firmly connected, and that the adapter is plugged into the Tesla charge port.

Removing the Adapter

Note: Only remove the adapter from the charge port once charging is completed.

Hold both the charger handle and the adapter and securely pull them out of the Tesla charge port.
- Note: Do not press the unlock button on the handle while pulling it out of the charge port.
Press the unlock button on the handle and safely remove the adapter.

Troubleshooting

My Tesla is not charging. What’s wrong?

Check to make sure your Tesla supports a CCS adapter. On the touchscreen select: Controls Software Add vehicle information CCS adapter support: Enabled.
Check to make sure the adapter and CCS1 charging cable are firmly connected, and that the adapter is plugged into the Tesla charge port.
Try unplugging and re-inserting both the charging cable and the adapter.
Check the charging status on both the CCS1 charger and your Tesla touchscreen.
If your car has been in an accident, Tesla may restrict or disable the use of a CCS1 adapter.
