Does a CCS1 to J1772 adapter exist?

[potato]

Post 36 is wrong. Post 24 explains why. If you modify the plug, or an adapter, to make it physically connect to your other EV, it may work or it may not, depending whether the vehicle you're trying to charge implements the required signaling - which is not needed in cars that have only Level 2 charging support, not CCS DC.

With full EVs, excepting early Teslas that had no CCS support, it will likely work. With PHEVs, it may not.

I mean, they only said that they did it and it worked. That cannot be wrong if it worked.

Inferring that it would therefore work for all PHEVs might be wrong. But the post didn't say that.

So you're saying I should plug my extension j1772 into the lightning and see if that works? If you're right the truck won't charge because it's looking for CCS signalling...

I don't see why that'd happen since the truck charges on other level 2 without CCS so how would it know any different.

Inferring from that, if the FCSP works on one j1772 car it should work on any j1772 car shouldn't it?

I can try to test with the truck when I have a few minutes.

The truck is not a PHEV, you would need to test it on something like a Chevy Volt, Toyota RAV4 Prime, XC90 Recharge, etc....

I use it on my Santa Fe plugin all the time. That's my primary use case is charging that PHEV. (See my original post) Most PHEV are not CCS. I thought the question was about CCS signalling from the car messing up the charger.

I'm on your side LOL. I 100% believe it works in the way you've been using it. But there may be exceptions - I'm pretty sure I've read some posts of people who've tried to use the FCSP with some other vehicle which "should have worked" after modifying some connector, but still failed. That's all we're saying I think. Yes hopefully it should work, but it's not guaranteed.

Let's put it this way; I certainly wouldn't buy an FCSP to work with any particular non-Ford vehicle unless I had tested that combination specifically.

I wouldn't buy a FCSP at all. If you get one with the truck it can be used for non CCS cars in my experience with this cable. Any j1772 AC stuff should work. Anything that's a DC adapter won't work since those pins aren't used to send power from the charger just receive it with the HIS. DC adapters usually are missing the AC pins on the j1772 side.

I just plugged the extension cord into the truck and it started charging fine. Pulled 16.6kw, even though I set it to max out at 40a.

Reasons to not buy FCSP: it won't follow your charge limit of 40A for your 40A extension cable. It only reports 16.6kw power at 80a for some reason, I'm just going to assume it's actually charging at full power maybe it's not....

Yeah, if I were able to go back in time I'd have sold the FCSP and bought an Emporia. I installed it thinking the HIS would be a viable solution. Boy was that wishful thinking.
