NACS Cabling

Whelp.  With CCS dying in the US. We *really* need OpenEVSE to source an NACS cable or connector for existing OpenEVSE units.

@openEVSE Support  send me one man...  tell me what i owe you lol..   

Need an extra guinea pig pig?   I have an OpenEVSE 50A + suitable wiring + a Rivian R1T + a NACS -> J177s adapter + and a cable I need to replace that's probably only should be doing 32A.

We have a couple left from the initial 10 and the remaining 90 are on a boat.

Sweet, any update on the NACS cables? 

The first 10 pcs went into test units plus a couple kit bundles and prebuilt stations. We expect the 90pcs to ship on February 2nd. I will work on the product in the store so the NACS cable can be pre-ordered.

I'd like to get on the short list to get one of these NACS cables as well, please! No reason to buy a whole new (Tesla) EVSE when my OpenEVSE is already amazing :)

I dont see them in your store, put me down for one.   lol

We have recieved our first 10 - 48A NACS cables. Another 90 are on the way.

@OpenEVSE, we found ODU Automotive is selling NACS pins if you are interested. James.Kruzich@odu-automotive.com was able to get us quotes on pins.

We have a source for bulk EV cable, that is easy. We even have our own custom cable printed "OpenEVSE EV Charging Cable EVJT UL E344662"


Nobody is selling NACS, cord sets, connectors or pins yet. All our suppliers are estimating Q1 -Q2 2024.

So, i've been searching for EV cables... they're actually kind of hard to come by bulk.


Southwire offers some EVE cables for EV charging:

It's all bulk though, so you'd likely have to make a large order.



SOOW 8/4 might work, but it's pretty bulky and it looks like you would need a massive 6/4 to support reasonable EV currents.  (also, SOOW doesn't generally come with signal wires, so you have to use a "full size conductor" for CP)

yea that post i just did about the tesla extensions said it needed approval too, as will this one..  every post i have made for quite a while needs approval.. I assumed it was like that for everyone on the forum.  lol   i usually have to wait a few days before i see my posts due to someone approving..    odd....

yea i have not had luck other than used stuff.     I did reach out to a few people that make tesla extension cables, they are getting the ends from somewhere.     one looks custom, i asked them if they would sell to me,   maybe they would sell to you for volume.   

Lectron makes one, and this place looks like they are having custom ends made?  https://evadept.com/p/tesla-supercharger-extension-cord-tslaext/         

Most of your posts do not have to be approved. I see 2 in the bucket now, not sure why. One was yours from a few days ago and the other Electric Ant.


We do not have any source for NACS (SAE J3400) yet. We have been working with Phoenix Contact and ITT to get some, but they are not selling anything yet.
