1. Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient use of your A2Z EV CCS1 to NACS DC Fast Charging Adapter, specifically designed for Cybertruck vehicles. Please read this manual thoroughly before operation and retain it for future reference.

The A2Z EV CCS1 to NACS adapter enables seamless Level 3 DC fast charging at CCS1-enabled stations across North America, ensuring efficient power delivery and reduced charging times for your Cybertruck.

2. Safety Information

  • High Voltage Warning: Handle with care. Ensure proper connection before use. Risk of electric shock and serious injury.
  • Compatibility: This adapter is designed exclusively for Cybertruck vehicles with NACS ports and CCS1 charging stations. Misuse may result in damage to the adapter, vehicle, or charging station.
  • Temperature Monitoring: The adapter features dual temperature sensors. If the adapter overheats, the charging process will automatically derate or halt to prevent damage. Charging can resume once the temperature normalizes and the adapter is reconnected.
  • Secure Connection: The built-in latch locking system and interlock safety pin prevent accidental disconnections during active charging. Do not attempt to remove the adapter without proper authorization from your vehicle, phone app, or charging station.
  • Environmental Protection: The adapter has an IP54 rating for the mating surface and an IP67 rating for the enclosure, providing protection against dust and water. However, avoid submerging the adapter in water or exposing it to extreme conditions beyond its operating temperature range (-30°C to 50°C).
  • Storage: Always store the adapter in its protective hard case when not in use to prevent damage.
