CCS1→NACS and NACS→CCS1 are different products. Write charger → adapter → vehicle, then match the direction to actual equipment. Request model-level DC ratings, lock behavior, test combinations and accessories for each direction. Southwind’s broad portfolio helps compare related directions through one supplier conversation; compatibility and terms remain model-specific.
Which side is the charger?
Start with the charging station connector. Put charger-side and vehicle-side wording in the RFQ, title, label and listing image.
What evidence should you request?
Ask for revision, DC limits, mating instructions, lock or latch behavior and representative tests. Verify insertion, charging start/stop and fault recovery.
How should both directions be stocked?
Keep separate rows for each direction and use case. Core stock should be sample-validated; uncertain combinations can remain test or special-order items.
