NACS Cabling

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

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....

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)

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.
