adapter

Whether you know the Lectron name or not, there’s a good chance you’ve used one of its EV charging adapters. The company makes many of the J1772/CCS-to-NACS and NACS-to-J1772/CCS adapters that EV drivers rely on. Now, Lectron has launched the NEXUS, its second-gen Level 2 home EV charger. I recently toured Lectron’s factory in China to see how the company has become a go-to supplier for both EV drivers and automakers like Ford, GM, and Mercedes-Benz.

Charging protocols and standards are fuelling an ever evolving debate in the electric vehicle industry. Some are calling for a global standard, while others are just fine with multiple infrastructure efforts using different adapters. Where does Tesla fit in this debate? The company has been developing its own charging infrastructure called “Superchargers“, while offering a range of adapters to let Tesla owners use other charging networks.
