About this product
This Chevrolet Accessories Level 2 and Fast Charging Adapter Package is designed for compatible GM EVs with a NACS charging inlet. The GM CCS1 DC Adapter unlocks access to non-NACS DC fast public chargers, including EVgo, ChargePoint and thousands of CCS1 DC fast chargers across the United States and Canada. With a V2H-capable vehicle, the GM CCS1 DC Adapter allows you to provide power to your properly equipped home during a power outage when used with the GM Energy PowerShift Charger (sold separately) and the GM Energy Enablement Kit (sold separately). The GM J1772 AC Adapter unlocks access to the 240V, 11.5kW/48-amp unidirectional GM PowerUp 2: J1772 Charger and other compatible Level 2 chargers, including home chargers (each sold separately) and public chargers, making charging more convenient at home and on the go. It supports up to 277V AC and handles up to 80A of continuous current flow. PLEASE NOTE: GM does not guarantee access to all CCS1 DC fast chargers. To charge your vehicle safely, the electrical circuit must be built to handle the high, steady power demand of EV charging. Speed of charging will vary based on vehicle type, battery condition, input voltage, vehicle settings, and outside temperature. Software updates may be necessary for additional functionality and convenience features in the future. Actual images and features may vary and are subject to change. Users should not modify or repair the adapter, as this could pose fire hazards, electric shock risks, or cause compatibility issues. Actual production will vary. The GM Energy PowerShift Charger and GM Energy V2H Enablement Kit requires an adequately charged and properly equipped GM EV (anticipated compatible vehicles: https://gmenergy.gm.com/for-home/products/gm-energy-powershift-charger) having bidirectional charging capabilities, a properly equipped home and proper grid interconnection. Some eligible 24MY EVs will require a dealership or over-the-air (OTA) vehicle update to enable bidirectional charging. Depending on a residence’s power needs, certain appliances, utilities and circuits may not be powered during an outage. Weather conditions, useful life of the battery, vehicle variation and usage, and other external factors will impact the duration of power supply. Power supply may be interrupted. It is not recommended that the following be powered with the GM Energy PowerShift Charger and V2H Enablement Kit: medical devices. Includes one GM CCS1 DC Adapter, one GM J1772 AC Adapter, instruction sheets, and a full-color product postcard on usage that links out to more information. WARNING: The misuse of charge cord adapters may cause electrical overheating, resulting in vehicle damage or personal injury. Only use GM-approved adapters with the charge cord. If you use an adapter, or charging equipment, which is not sold, provided or approved by General Motors and it causes damage to your vehicle’s charging system (battery, inlet, etc.), it would not be covered under the limited warranty. See your GM vehicle limited warranty for more details. GM is not liable for damages arising from use of non-GM-approved adapters, charging stations or non-GM vehicles. This adapter is not designed to be stored outdoors.
