No list of car models can answer this safely, because the answer is four conditions, not a badge. Your car needs a CCS1 inlet; its maker must approve third-party DC adapters for your exact model; Tesla must have opened the Supercharger site to your car under its current programme; and the adapter must be rated for the session. If any one fails, the JT08 or JT09 is not an option at that site — and the documents that decide are your car maker’s and Tesla’s, not the adapter’s packaging.
Key Takeaways
- Four conditions decide: CCS1 inlet, maker approval for your exact model, an open site, and a rated adapter.
- No printed model list can stay correct — the maker’s and Tesla’s current documents are the answer.
- The JT08 and JT09 satisfy only the ratings condition; approval and access are never the adapter’s to grant.
- Check in order: approval first, site second, adapter last.
The Four Conditions
| Condition | Who decides it | Where you check |
|---|---|---|
| Your car has a CCS1 inlet | The car’s design | Your car’s specification — a NACS-inlet car needs no adapter at a Supercharger at all |
| Your maker approves a third-party DC adapter for your car | Your car maker | The maker’s current adapter guidance for your exact model and year |
| The site is open to your car | Tesla | Tesla’s current station information for that site and your brand |
| The adapter is rated for the session | The adapter’s specification | Its ratings — the JT08 and JT09 are 500 A-class parts with IP66 sealing |
Read the table as a chain, not a menu. A rated adapter does not substitute for maker approval; maker approval does not open a closed site; an open site does not help a car whose maker has not approved an adapter. All four, at the same stop, or the answer is no.
Why There Is No Model List Here
Approval is a living document, not a permanent fact. Makers of CCS1 cars — Ford and Rivian among them — publish their own adapter guidance, and they revise it: models are added, wording tightens, and the approval is written for an exact model and year, not a brand. Tesla’s side moves too, as sites are opened to more brands in stages under its programme. A model list printed in an article like this one would start going stale the week it was published, and a stale “yes” is worse than no list at all — it sends a driver to a charger with the wrong document in hand. Can I use a Tesla charger for other cars? walks through the same access question from the car’s side.
One more route is worth knowing: some Supercharger posts carry a built-in adapter fitted by Tesla itself, which serves CCS1 cars without any carried adapter. That changes the hardware, not the permission — your car still needs Tesla’s site access, on Tesla’s terms.
The JT08 and JT09 in This Picture
The EVDANCE JT08 and the handled EVDANCE JT09 answer the fourth condition: both are NACS-to-CCS1 DC adapters in the 250 kW family, rated up to 500 A with IP66 sealing. That is the only condition an adapter can answer. Neither part can approve itself for your car, and neither can open a Supercharger site — those decisions stay with your car maker and Tesla respectively, which is why the check order matters: approval first, site second, adapter last.
Frequently Asked Questions
My car is a specific CCS1 model — can I use a JT08 at a Supercharger?
This article cannot give your car a yes or no, and neither can any list. Check your maker’s current adapter guidance for your exact model and year, then Tesla’s station information for the site. If both documents say yes, the JT08 fits the ratings condition; if either is silent or says no, that is your answer.
My maker approves adapters, but the site is not open to my car. Can I charge anyway?
No. Approval and access are independent conditions, and both must hold at the same stop. An open site will come under Tesla’s programme in its own time; until then, that Supercharger is not an option for your car, with any adapter.
My maker’s guidance names its own adapter. Must I use that one?
Follow the maker’s document. If it approves third-party adapters that meet its terms, a rated part such as the JT08 or JT09 is a candidate; if it names only its own adapter, that is the approved route for your car. The maker’s wording decides, not the adapter’s box.
