CCS (Combined Charging System) EV Charging Stations
There are 13,713 EV charging stations with CCS connectors across the United States.
About CCS
The Combined Charging System (CCS) is the most widely adopted DC fast charging standard in North America. CCS combines the J1772 AC connector with two additional DC pins, allowing both Level 2 AC and DC fast charging through a single port. CCS supports charging speeds from 50 kW to 350 kW.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CCS charging?
CCS (Combined Charging System) is a DC fast charging standard that combines the J1772 AC plug with two DC power pins. It supports charging speeds from 50 kW to 350 kW, allowing you to charge from 10% to 80% in 20-45 minutes.
Which EVs use CCS?
Most non-Tesla EVs sold in North America use CCS, including models from Ford, GM, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Volkswagen, Rivian, Lucid, Polestar, and Mercedes-Benz. Tesla vehicles can use CCS stations with a NACS-to-CCS adapter.
Is CCS the same as J1772?
CCS incorporates the J1772 connector — the top portion is identical to J1772 for AC charging, but CCS adds two DC pins below for fast charging. A CCS vehicle can plug into J1772 Level 2 stations using just the upper portion of the port.
How fast is CCS charging?
CCS chargers range from 50 kW to 350 kW. Most public CCS stations deliver 150-350 kW. At 150 kW, you can add about 150 miles of range in 20 minutes. Actual speed depends on your vehicle's maximum acceptance rate and battery state of charge.
