EVHIKING CCS1 to CCS2 EV Charger Adapter — Black Type 1 to Type 2, 400A DC / 32A AC with Temp Monitoring

EVHIKING CCS1 to CCS2 Adapter converts CCS1 and Type 1/J1772 plugs into a CCS2-compatible connector, supporting AC charging up to 32A/250V and DC fast charging up to 400A/1000V.

This compact adapter bridges the gap for European electric vehicles that need to charge from CCS1 or Type 1/J1772 stations in North America. Engineered with silver-plated guide pins and integrated temperature monitoring, it is built to deliver efficient conductivity and safer operation under heavy loads. The unit ships in a heavy-duty impact-resistant case and is designed for straightforward plug-in use—insert fully to the bottom for a correct connection.

How does this adapter handle both AC and DC charging?

The EVHIKING adapter automatically detects and routes power between AC Type 1/J1772 and DC CCS1 charging guns so your vehicle receives the correct protocol without manual switching. Internal circuitry and connector design allow safe transitions between modes while maintaining high current capacity for fast charging.

• AC capability: up to 32A at 250V for Level 2 charging.
• DC capability: up to 400A at 1000V for CCS fast charging.
• Automatic switching between AC and DC charging guns.
• Silver-plated guide pins to reduce resistance and heat.

Is the adapter safe to use during high-current charging sessions?

Safety features include real-time temperature monitoring and automatic cut-off if temperatures rise beyond safe thresholds. If the temperature exceeds the protection limit, charging is paused until the unit cools to a safe level; some vehicles may need the connector reinserted to resume charging.

• Operating range: -30°C to 50°C.
• Temperature cutoff above 85°C; resumes below 65°C after cooling.
• Automatic detection and pause of charging to reduce risk.
• Durable materials designed to withstand frequent use and heat.

What build and connector features improve performance and durability?

Key construction choices—like silver-plated guide pins—lower electrical resistance and extend service life by resisting wear from repeated mating cycles. The adapter’s housing and internal components are made for heavy-duty use and come stored in a protective, impact-resistant case for transport and storage.

• Silver-plated guide pins for better conductivity and less heating.
• Robust connector housing to withstand handling and environment.
• Included anti-impact storage box for secure transport and storage.
• Designed for frequent insertion and removal without performance loss.

How do I install and use the adapter correctly?

Installation is straightforward: align the adapter with the vehicle inlet or charging gun, then push fully to the bottom to ensure a complete connection—partial insertion may prevent charging. Follow normal safety precautions for EV charging and check that your vehicle supports the protocols and voltages provided.

• Align connectors and push fully to the bottom for a secure fit.
• Confirm vehicle acceptance of CCS2 input and supported voltages.
• Monitor the adapter and vehicle during initial use to verify charging engagement.
• Store the adapter in the provided impact-resistant case when not in use.

Who is this for: EVHIKING’s CCS1 to CCS2 Adapter is for drivers of European-spec electric vehicles who need access to CCS1 or Type 1/J1772 charging stations in regions where CCS2 inlets are standard. It suits owners who require fast DC charging capability up to 400A, frequent travelers moving between North America and Europe, fleet operators managing mixed charger types, and anyone who wants a rugged, ventilated adapter with active temperature protection and high-conductivity contacts. Always verify vehicle compatibility with CCS2 adapters and confirm that the charging station and vehicle support the specified voltages and currents before use.
