Black Tesla CCS Chargers

iOutatime | 2026-02-28 22:30 | 33 views

Stopped at a Supercharger along my trip and saw 4 separate destination chargers off to the side. They were an all black design which stood out to me. Upon coming up to them, I noticed they’re CCS only. No magic charger adapter or anything like that. For Tesla to brand them and own a custom all black designed CCS charger is news to me, but glad it’s an option where no magic chargers are available. Anyone seen these all black chargers?

This isnt a CCS plug, its a J1772 and was available from tesla for a bit until the universal wall connector released. Don't remember if they came with black face plates but you can buy replacement face plates in every tesla color, I have blue at home.

> I noticed they’re CCS only. No, they are J1772, this is an AC only charger. Prior to the Tesla Universal, Tesla made a J1772 level 2 Wall Connector. This is that. It's important because if you¡re doing a Power Sharing group, as one might at a hotel or the like, these can group with regular TWC.

This was launched at a pivot time where Tesla was considering if their future models have to J1772/CCS in US Before the end of the quarter of this release Farly and Musk work out what is now become NACS if they hadn’t met and Ford didn’t pivot, we’d have CCS1 and J1772 similar to EU with CCS2 and Type 2

Tesla sells faceplates matching the car colors or at least sold. Not sure if they still do though. Also def not a CCS charger. That’s a J1772 which is pretty outdated.

Now I want a black one! Maybe I will just spray paint my white one lol But yeah I think that is much better looking than the white and probably better for a dirty garage like mine. because the white always looks filthy.

Looks like you're in Edwardsville Illinois? That's the only charger I know of that has level 2 and 3 right there
