EVHIKING CCS1 to CCS2 EV Charger Adapter — 400A DC / 32A AC, Auto AC/DC Switching & Temp Protection

The EVHIKING CCS1 to CCS2 adapter lets European Type 2 (CCS2) EVs charge from North American CCS1 and J1772 (Type 1) stations, supporting up to 400A DC and 32A AC with built-in temperature protection.

If you drive a European electric vehicle in the U.S., onboard charging connectors can differ from local public chargers. This EVHIKING adapter is engineered to bridge that gap: it accepts CCS1/DC and J1772/AC plugs and presents a CCS2-compatible connection to your car. Built for high current, long-term reliability and safe operation, it includes silver-plated guide pins to reduce resistive heating and a rugged impact-resistant carry case for transport and storage.

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

The EVHIKING adapter automatically recognizes the incoming plug type and routes either DC CCS1 fast charging or AC Type 1 (J1772) power to your vehicle’s CCS2 inlet. You do not need separate adapters for AC and DC; the unit supports both modes up to its rated limits.

• DC support up to 400A at 1000V for high-power fast charging.
• AC support up to 32A at 250V for level 2 charging sessions.
• Automatic switching between DC and AC inputs—no manual configuration required.

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

Safety is handled through temperature monitoring and robust contact materials. The adapter continuously checks internal temperature and suspends charging if it rises beyond safe thresholds, resuming only when temperatures fall back to acceptable levels. Silver-plated guide pins lower contact resistance and reduce heat buildup during high-current transfers.

• Real-time temperature detection; charging halts above 85°C and resumes below 65°C.
• Durable silver-plated guide pins for improved conductivity and less heat.
• Operating range rated from -30°C to 50°C for varied climates.

How do I use the adapter correctly to ensure a secure charge?

For reliable operation insert the charging gun fully into the adapter—make sure it seats to the bottom of the adapter before starting a session. Some vehicles may require re-establishing the charge signal after temperature protection events, so follow the vehicle’s prompt if charging does not resume automatically.

• Fully insert the CCS1 or J1772 plug into the adapter until it bottoms out.
• Start the charging session from the station according to its instructions.
• If charging stops due to temperature limits, allow cooldown then reinitiate if needed.

What comes in the box and how durable is the hardware?

The adapter ships with a heavy-duty, impact-resistant storage case to protect it when not in use. The connector uses corrosion-resistant materials and silver-plated pins designed to extend service life under frequent high-current use. The build quality targets professional-grade durability for travelers and fleet operators alike.

• Impact-resistant protective case included for transport and storage.
• Silver-plated guide pins and robust housing for long service life.
• Designed to withstand frequent plugging and unplugging in real-world conditions.

Who this is for: The EVHIKING CCS1 to CCS2 adapter is aimed at drivers of European CCS2-equipped electric vehicles who need to charge from North American public CCS1/DC or J1772/AC stations. It's also useful for international travelers, fleet managers, and anyone who requires a single, rugged solution that supports both AC level 2 and high-power DC fast charging within the adapter’s rated limits. This product is for users who prioritize safety, conductivity, and portability when adapting cross-standard charging infrastructure.
