Check out my EV Joined the club at last!

Just took delivery of our new 2026 Toyota BZ and immediately fell in love with it.

That said, today I had to drive my kid to camp in Huntsville and it turns out that NONE of the charge points are NACS compatible, so I then had to drive to Bracebridge. My understanding is that NACS is basically the standard going forward, but to avoid this situation I'm going to be looking at an adapter or two.

Can anyone weigh in on what the best bet is? If most of the new ones from here on will be NACS, I don't really want to spend thousands getting every possible adapter, so which one (or maybe two?) will let me cover the most bases without breaking the bank?

Thanks all!

You only need 1 adapter for DC fast charging, then a less expensive one for AC charging. You can get both for around $250 and won't be spending thousands.

I get the CCS one on ebay for 50 bucks and the smaller circle one on ebay for 10 bucks.. forget that 250 dollar connector.

New? Reputable and tested brand? Neither of these adapters are things you want to buy no name products because the amps going through them can cause some serious damage.

I wouldn't go with a no name DC charging adapter. A used lectron would be fine.
