EVDANCE Adds NACS Option to EV Charging Extension Cable Lineup

EVDANCE has expanded its residential EV charging hardware portfolio by introducing a North American Charging Standard (NACS) version of its EV Charging Extension Cable, alongside the existing J1772 configuration.

What Happened

The company’s EV Charging Extension Cable is designed to address reach issues for drivers who cannot park their vehicles close enough to wall-mounted or portable chargers. EVDANCE reports selling more than 10,000 units of the extension cable over the last year, highlighting the prevalence of this logistical challenge. The product is now available in both NACS and J1772 formats, with length options of 21 feet and 40 feet.

The cables support up to 50 A, 240 V, and 12 kW for Level 2 charging. They feature 8 AWG copper conductors, a heavy-duty TPE jacket, and IP66 water and dust protection. EVDANCE notes that when the upgraded NACS extension cable is connected to a compatible Tesla charger, the original charger’s charge-port opening button functionality remains operational.

Why It Matters

For EV owners with incompatible cable lengths due to garage layout, large vehicle dimensions, or outdoor parking constraints, extension cables offer a low-cost alternative to relocating charging infrastructure. Daniel Cooper, CEO of EVDANCE, stated that the NACS upgrade allows drivers to maintain their existing charging experience while gaining necessary flexibility. This addition aligns with the industry's broader shift toward NACS as a dominant connector standard in North America.

The Bottom Line

EVDANCE’s new NACS extension cable provides a compatible solution for Tesla and other NACS-equipped vehicles, maintaining high amperage and power ratings while solving common parking and reach limitations for residential Level 2 charging.
