"Leaving aside the fact that you'll need an NACS to CCS1 adapter, the Supercharger cable might not reach the charge port many popular EVs, including the Chevy Blazer EV and the aforementioned trucks. The most popular stall version, known as V3, was designed for Tesla EVs, which have the charge port on the rear left, while many American electric pickups and SUVs have their ports on the front left side."
"Thankfully, there's a company out there that is trying to fix two issues with one product. Hannshow's five-foot extension cable also doubles as a NACS to CCS1 adapter, so it should come in handy for owners of EVs that came with a CCS1 inlet from the factory-like the Gen1 Rivian R1S and R1T, as well as the Ford F-150 Lightning."
"That said, the $600 product has some flaws, as InsideEVs contributor and charging expert Tom Moloughney found out during his review of the product. Put simply, he wouldn't recommend it as a safe option. Specs-wise, the extension cable has two thermal sensors inside the connectors, so when the temperature hits 185 degrees Fahrenheit (85 degrees Celsius), the charging session stops automatically. Furthermore, the charging can be ended by pressing the button on the CCS1 connector,"
Tesla Superchargers are widely available, but V3 stalls often have short cables optimized for Tesla port locations. Many non-Tesla EVs, especially American pickups and SUVs with front-left inlets, cannot reach the cable without an adapter or extension. Hannshow offers a five-foot extension cable that also functions as a NACS-to-CCS1 adapter, aimed at vehicles like Gen1 Rivian R1S/R1T and the Ford F-150 Lightning. The product costs $600 and includes two thermal sensors that stop charging at 185°F (85°C). Reported flaws raise safety and usability concerns, and the product is not recommended as a safe option.
