Cable extensor NACS a CCS falla prueba

InsideEVs reported on May 17 that a product pitched as a workaround for one of Tesla’s charging-network friction points did not hold up in repeated road-use testing. The outlet said charging expert Tom Moloughney tested Hansshow’s second-generation NACS-to-CCS1 extension cable at Tesla Superchargers and ran into repeated interruptions rather than a durable fix. The device is meant to help non-Tesla EVs with CCS1 ports reach short Supercharger cables without blocking adjacent stalls. In Moloughney’s test, the promise of easier access collided with reliability problems. ### Why are drivers looking for an extension cable in the first place? Tesla’s V3 Supercharger sites were largely designed around Tesla charge-port locations, and that has created fitment problems for some Ford, Rivian, General Motors and other CCS1-equipped vehicles using NACS adapters. InsideEVs said the mismatch can force some non-Tesla drivers to park awkwardly or occupy more than one space when the cable will not comfortably reach. Hansshow’s product combines an adapter and an extension cable in one unit. Hansshow lists 5-foot and 8-foot versions on its website, saying the accessory is designed for CCS1 vehicles charging at Tesla Superchargers. Hansshow’s store lists the product starting at $629, with the 8-foot version priced higher. (insideevs.com) ### What did the May 17 test actually show? InsideEVs said Moloughney tested the latest production version after earlier coverage of both the first-generation cable and a revised prototype. The May 17 report said the real-world result fell short of the product’s pitch, with charging sessions stopping unexpectedly during use. Moloughney said in the associated YouTube video that he “couldn't complete a charging session longer than 17” minutes. (hansshow.com) The video description also said he “witnessed multiple failures,” and InsideEVs described the production cable as falling short in real-world testing. ### What had Hansshow changed in the second-generation version? InsideEVs reported in December 2025 that Hansshow’s second-generation cable was supposed to address problems seen in the first version. (insideevs.com) That earlier report said the updated model added 5-foot and 8-foot options and carried a rating of 1,000 volts and 350 amps continuous. Hansshow’s product page says the cable includes thermal protection and is intended to improve compatibility for CCS1 vehicles at Tesla Superchargers. (youtube.com) The company’s site also says preorders for the updated version began months earlier, positioning the product as a practical answer to cable-length complaints. (insideevs.com) ### Does this mean extension cables are off the table altogether? Tesla has separately indicated it is working on a NACS-to-NACS extension cable for future sale. InsideEVs previously reported that Tesla was developing that accessory as another way to deal with reach issues at some charging stalls. That leaves two related but distinct issues in view. Hansshow’s cable is aimed at non-Tesla vehicles that need both connector conversion and extra length, while Tesla’s reported in-house project would address reach for NACS-based connections. (hansshow.com) That distinction is based on the products each company has described. (insideevs.com) ### What should drivers watch next? Hansshow is still listing the NACS-to-CCS1 extension cable for sale on its website, with prices starting at $629 and the longer version above that level. InsideEVs and State Of Charge have now published the latest test results, giving prospective buyers a current public record of how the production unit performed in one high-profile real-world review. Tesla has not yet posted a public retail launch date for its own NACS-to-NACS extension cable in the material cited by InsideEVs. (hansshow.com) For now, the next concrete reference points are Hansshow’s active product listing and any follow-up testing or product revision from Hansshow, Moloughney or Tesla.
