NACS DC adapter for UK

[MKM]

Is the NACS DC adapter be complimentary sent to Taycan J2 owners? If so, should we contact the OPC we bought the car from, or the closest OPC to living address, or awaite for them to contact us?

Thanks

There is no such thing in the UK. The clue is in the name "north american charging standard".

We use CCS2 like almost all the world outside the US and perhaps their adjoining friends. CCS is compatible with everything in Europe, including Tesla superchargers. (The only thing that doesn't work is ChaDeMo, but that's pretty much obsolete now.)

In the US they got into a muddle with two standards, hence the adapter business.

So we can use the Tesla Supercharger without any adapter needed, am I correct?

Yes, but only for those marks on the tesla app as available to non Teslas.

With J1 Taycan you also require the optional 150kW/400v onboard charger- if the car was specified without this this the max speed is 50kW which will just block a charger and irritate people. With J1.2 there is no issue.
