==== 🔌 1. Tesla Chargers & EV6 Compatibility (North America) ====

===== ✅ Tesla Superchargers (DC Fast Chargers) =====

These are the high-speed chargers you see along highways.

Can You Use Them?
* Yes, EV6 can now officially use many Tesla Superchargers — but only under specific conditions. Kia has enabled access to Tesla’s network (21,500+ stations) and EV6 owners can use them with a Tesla-to-NACS adapter provided by Kia.

How to Tell Which Superchargers Work with Your EV6
* Tesla App: Superchargers that support non-Tesla EVs with a NACS adapter show up in the Tesla app under “Charge Your Other EVs.” If a charger doesn’t appear there, your EV6 likely won’t charge on it.

* Station Version: Modern V3 and V4 Superchargers tend to support NACS/CCS adapter charging more often than older legacy stalls.

Important Notes
* You need the official Kia-provided NACS adapter (or one Kia says works with your EV model). Third-party adapters may not be supported or may give errors, and Tesla/Kia software may block some attempts.

* Not all Tesla Superchargers will work yet; if a charger doesn’t show in the Tesla app for non-Tesla EVs, it won’t start charging.

===== 📍 Tesla Destination Chargers (AC Level 2) =====

These are AC chargers you find at hotels, malls, and restaurants.

Can You Use Them?
* Yes, but you need an adapter. Tesla destination chargers use the Tesla (NACS) plug — and your EV6 uses CCS1 for fast DC and J1772 for Level 2.
* To use a Tesla destination charger (Level 2), you need a NACS-to-J1772 adapter (often sold as a “Tesla to J1772” adapter). These let you plug into the Tesla charger and then into your EV6’s J1772 socket.

How to Tell It Works
* If the Tesla Wall Connector or NACS AC outlet shows up in PlugShare or your charging app and you have a NACS-to-J1772 adapter, it should charge at Level 2 speeds.
