ChargePoint Omni Port Available as a Conversion Kit, Charging All EVs Regardless of Connector Type
ChargePoint, a leading provider of EV charging solutions, has announced the launch of conversion kits that bring its Omni Port adaptable charging solution to older stations. The kits, now available for immediate delivery, join newly manufactured Level 2 stations that come pre-fitted with the innovation. With Omni Port, drivers can charge any EV in any parking space, regardless of connector type, without relying on expensive or potentially unsafe adapters. The company released this news on Aug 21, 2025.
With more than 60% market share of publicly available networked AC charging ports in North America, ChargePoint’s rollout of Omni Port represents a significant step toward eliminating one of the most common barriers for EV adoption: connector compatibility. The technology automatically delivers the right plug for each vehicle, giving drivers a seamless, app-enabled experience. By simply entering their EV into the ChargePoint app and tapping to charge, the system releases the correct connector, ensuring convenience for both drivers and site hosts.
“As many automakers shift toward the NACS charging port, charging providers need to serve all of their customers – regardless of their vehicle’s connector type,” said Hossein Kazemi, CTO of Hardware at ChargePoint. “Omni Port enables customers to future proof their charging infrastructure and eliminates the hassle of dedicating parking spaces to a specific connector type. For EV drivers, it ensures they will encounter the connector type they need to charge at any Omni Port location.”
For charging station owners, Omni Port is available at no additional cost as a standard feature of eligible new chargers. Thanks to ChargePoint’s modular designs, existing stations can also be easily upgraded with the new conversion kits. This approach minimizes downtime, avoids the expense of full replacements, and ensures infrastructure remains future-ready as the EV market evolves.
By making EV charging more universal, flexible, and cost-effective, ChargePoint is reinforcing its role as a problem-solver for the growing electric mobility ecosystem—and delivering the reliable, driver-friendly solutions that will help accelerate the transition to an all-electric future.
‘EV Adapter Hell’ is Improving
The battle between competing EV charging plug types, NACS and CCS, has caused problems for EV drivers for years. Last year, Loren McDonald, a charging-network analyst at Paren, said: “The next few years may be ‘adapter hell’ as everyone — drivers, automakers, charging equipment providers, the federal government and states — navigate a confusing straddle between other systems and the NACS standard and connectors, ” when referring to the industry’s transition to NACS.
As the electric vehicle (EV) industry accelerates, one of the most pressing challenges isn’t range, price or battery technology, it’s connector standardization. Right now, the two dominant charging connector types in North America are CCS (Combined Charging System) and NACS (North American Charging Standard).
The North American Charging Standard (NACS), standardized as SAE J3400, is the charging connector standard developed by Tesla, Inc. and maintained by SAE International. It has been publicly endorsed by the U.S. government since 2023. Between 2023 and 2024, most major automakers announced plans to adopt NACS for their North American EVs beginning with the 2025 model year. ChargePoint’s rollout of Omni Port is a major achievement in reducing friction and problems for EV drivers, as CCS is slowly replaced by NACS.
