"Was the suspension broken? Was this some quality-control issue rearing its ugly head? No. It was just the J1772 slow-charging adapter, rolling around in the EV6's center console. The sound was driving me nuts, so I did what any reasonable person would do: I shoved it into my cupholder until I could pull over and toss it in the frunk."
"Right now in America, owning an EV means living in a kind of Adapter Hell. There are at least 7 million EVs registered for use on U.S. roads. Most of them, naturally, are Teslas, which use their own sleek North American Charging Standard (NACS) plug but have always required adapters for J1772 and CCS slow and fast charging, respectively. A typical NACS to CCS1 charging adapter."
Owning an EV in the U.S. in 2025 often requires carrying multiple charging adapters to access different public chargers. Tesla vehicles use the North American Charging Standard (NACS) and require adapters to use J1772 and CCS chargers. Non-Tesla EVs with CCS ports need a NACS adapter to use Tesla Superchargers. Vehicles with native NACS fast-charging ports may still need J1772 and CCS adapters for slow and fast chargers outside Tesla network. Most charging occurs at home, but drivers seeking nationwide access should carry at least two adapters to avoid being unable to charge on trips.
