EV Charging Compatibility Checker and Guide

The table records native NACS for some model-year rows and CCS1 for others. Treat each row independently: a brand-level announcement does not establish the port or network access for every vehicle.

NACS is standardized as SAE J3400, but the physical port is only one part of compatibility. Vehicle software, network enrollment, charging-site hardware, and an approved adapter path can still determine whether a session starts.

When using the table:

• Match the exact model year — adjacent years can use different connector records.
• Separate native from adapter paths — an adapter path must be supported by the vehicle manufacturer and charging network.
• Verify the station — a NACS record does not mean every Tesla or third-party NACS location accepts that vehicle.

For a deeper explanation of connector and access changes, see the NACS vs CCS transition guide.

If the selector reports CHAdeMO for your model year, filter station records for CHAdeMO and verify the connector and operating status before departure.

CHAdeMO is a distinct DC fast connector and cannot be treated as interchangeable with CCS1 or NACS. The project’s station records can identify locations where CHAdeMO was reported, but they do not establish current availability or successful activation.

Plan around confirmed locations and keep a second charging option. For connector-shape and charging-level context, see the EV connector types guide.

Use only an adapter path supported for your exact vehicle, model year, charging level, and network. A physically matching third-party adapter does not establish electrical or network compatibility.

Before relying on an adapter:

• Check the owner manual for the supported adapter type and charging level.
• Check the network for vehicle enrollment, station eligibility, and activation requirements.
• Check the site record for the connector and charging level reported at that location.

For a connector-by-connector decision process, see the EV charging adapter guide.

Many plug-in hybrids in this dataset are marked “J1772 only,” meaning no DC fast connector is recorded for that vehicle row. Confirm the exact model year before choosing a station.

If a row is marked “J1772 only,” use Level 2 station records and do not infer DC fast capability from the broader vehicle brand. Charging power and time depend on the vehicle’s onboard charger and the site.

For any PHEV not listed here, consult the owner manual or manufacturer specification rather than applying another model’s result.

Open your charge port door and check the physical shape, consult your owner's manual, search the AFDC Vehicle Database at afdc.energy.gov, or check your manufacturer's specifications page for your model year.

If your vehicle is not listed in the table above, there are several reliable ways to determine your connector type:

1. Check the charge port — Open the charge port door on your vehicle and look at the physical shape. CCS1 has a round J1772 shape on top with two large DC pins below. CHAdeMO is a large round plug with multiple pins. NACS (Tesla) is a slim oval connector.
2. Owner's manual — Your vehicle's manual lists the supported connector types and maximum charging speeds.
3. AFDC Vehicle Database — The US Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center maintains a searchable database of EV specifications at afdc.energy.gov.
4. Manufacturer website — Check the specifications page for your model year on the manufacturer's US website.
