NACS DC Fast Charging Plug & Connector – 250A, 1000V DC

Product Description

The Electway NACS DC Plug is a high-performance DC fast charging connector compliant with the NACS (North American Charging Standard), formerly known as the Tesla charging connector. Designed for Tesla’s 400‑volt battery architecture, it is significantly smaller and lighter than other DC fast charging connectors. Engineered for durability, safety, and fast charging, this connector ensures reliable power delivery for Level 3 DC fast charging applications whether at public charging stations, fleet depots, or commercial charging hubs.

With a rated current of 250A DC and a maximum voltage of 1000V DC, the Electway NACS DC Plug supports ultra‑fast charging while maintaining a compact form factor. The connector features a locking button at the top, a built‑in temperature sensor for over‑temperature protection, and an RF transmitter to remotely open the charging port lid. Rated IP54 for dust and water resistance, and built with a UL94 V‑0 flame‑retardant TPU shell, this connector is built for all‑weather outdoor operation. Cable length can be customized from 2 to 10 meters.

Parameters

Main Features

• Compliant with NACS (North American Charging Standard) – the standard adopted by major automakers including Ford, GM, Rivian, Volvo, and Mercedes‑Benz
• Compact and lightweight design – significantly smaller than CCS1, easier to handle, plug, and unplug
• IP54 protection rating – dust‑proof and water‑resistant for reliable outdoor use
• High durability – rated for over 10,000 no‑load mating cycles
• Built‑in temperature monitoring – PT1000 thermal sensor for over‑temperature protection
• UL94 V‑0 flame‑retardant housing – meets stringent fire safety standards
• Remote charging port opening – built‑in RF transmitter signals the vehicle to open the charging port lid
• Customizable cable length – available from 2 to 10 meters with TUP or TPE cable material options
• Ergonomic locking button design – secure latch engagement with easy thumb release

Key Advantages

• Industry‑standard NACS compatibility – the Electway NACS DC Plug is fully compliant with the SAE J3400 NACS standard, ensuring seamless interoperability with Tesla Superchargers, Tesla Destination Chargers, and a growing number of third‑party NACS‑supported charging stations.
• One connector for all – as the automotive industry rapidly shifts toward NACS as the unified North American charging standard, this connector ensures your charging infrastructure remains compatible with current and future EVs from Ford, GM, Rivian, Volvo, Polestar, and Mercedes‑Benz, as well as all Tesla models.
• Robust and reliable construction – rated for over 10,000 no‑load plug/unplug cycles, the Electway NACS DC Plug is engineered to withstand years of daily use in demanding commercial environments, reducing maintenance costs and operational downtime.
• Compact, ergonomic design – the NACS connector is notably smaller and lighter than CCS1, making it easier to handle, especially for elderly or less physically strong users, while requiring less storage space in vehicle trunks and on charging pedestals.
• Enhanced safety for high‑power charging – built‑in PT1000 temperature sensors continuously monitor terminal heat levels, while the UL94 V‑0 flame‑retardant housing and IP54 weather sealing ensure safe operation even under extreme charging loads and harsh weather conditions.
• Push‑button locking mechanism with remote port opening – the top‑mounted locking button performs two critical functions: when the connector is locked in place, the button releases the latch; when disconnected, the same button signals the vehicle to open the charging port door—eliminating the need to fumble with the vehicle‘s touchscreen or mobile app.

Main Applications

• Tesla Supercharger and Destination Charger networks – the Electway NACS DC Plug is fully compatible with Tesla’s extensive DC fast charging network, supporting Level 3 charging for all Tesla models including Model S, 3, X, Y, and Cybertruck.
• Public DC fast charging stations – as NACS becomes the unified North American standard, charging network operators are increasingly deploying NACS connectors alongside or instead of CCS1. The Electway NACS DC Plug is ideal for new charging station builds and retrofit projects.
• Fleet charging depots – logistics companies and fleet operators transitioning to electric delivery vans, taxis, and light trucks can standardize on NACS connectors, simplifying fleet charging infrastructure across diverse vehicle brands.
• Commercial parking facilities – shopping malls, hotels, office complexes, and retail centers can offer premium DC fast charging services using NACS connectors, accommodating both Tesla vehicles and the growing number of NACS‑native EVs from Ford, GM, Rivian, and other automakers.
• Automotive OEM manufacturing and R&D – vehicle manufacturers, charging station producers, and EVSE component suppliers can integrate the Electway NACS DC Plug into their product lines, ensuring compliance with the SAE J3400 standard for new vehicle models and charging equipment.
