my made up convention is to list the plug you're using first and the chargeport type on the vehicle 2nd - but most of the world's population missed my memo on that…so we're stuck with ambiguity
  • CCS1 Native Vehicles need: NACS to CCS1 adapter (NACS charging cord to a CCS1 charging port on the vehicle)
  • NACS Native Vehicles need: CCS1 to NACS adapter (CCS1 charging cord to a NACS charging port on the vehicle)
so the current generation Taycan/Macan will benefit from NACS to CCS Adapter ($185 from Porsche or included with your vehicle purchase - YMMV)

the upcoming Cayenne EV is NACS native for North America - so it will benefit from a CCS to NACS adapter - you can purchase one from Tesla https://shop.tesla.com/product/ccs-combo-1-adapter?web=true for $300 or Lectron for https://ev-lectron.com/products/lec...ast-charge-your-tesla-with-ccs-chargers-black for $110.99

but again that's just me - YMMV
Makes sense to me and how I've always though of it. Your "made up convention" should be universal. Banish any ambiguity. The charge goes from the tower to the car so tower connector type to the vehicle's port type.

Thanks, All. Apologies for the delay in responding. Work got in the way.

After further research, it appears that only two Telsa super chargers work for the Taycan in the whole state of Wyoming. (That's to the Colorado Kid who was active on this forum back when he had a Taycan) and the one in Big Sky does not as well, so I'm taking my exhusband's Tesla, which can do the journey, although we still have to go out of our way.

Meanwhile, I'll reread all these lovely instructions before camping season next year! Thanks, all!
