NACS, standardized by SAE as J3400, carries AC and DC charging through one connector design. J1772 is the five-pin North American AC connector; CCS1 adds two DC contacts below it for fast charging. Choose by vehicle inlet, charging mode, model year, and manufacturer-approved adapter path, not by connector name alone.
