Nissan released a tutorial video for Ariya EV owners on how to use a Tesla NACS adapter, including an unusual step of inserting a small piece of plastic into the CCS port before connecting the adapter. This step is not required for other EVs with the NACS adapter.
Nissan put out a tutorial video for Ariya owners today that shows how to use a Tesla NACS adapter with the vehicle, and it includes a step completely out of left field: shove a small piece of plastic into your car’s CCS port before you connect the adapter. The Ariya is Nissan ’s first EV with a CCS port, and the automaker just activated the vehicle’s ability to connect to Tesla’s vast Supercharger network in October.
However, you will need to use the adapter it provides or from a US dealership, which may mean other third-party options like the Lectron adapter might not work. What’s odd about the Ariya’s charge port is that despite being a standard that works at many CCS-capable fast charging stations, there is some negative hollow space between the two direct current pins at the bottom that isn’t present on most other EVs.
