We review the positive and negatives of charging at a Tesla Supercharger with the new A2Z adapter. Ford and Rivian both advise against the use of third party adapters.

Spend some money on a new screen protector on your phone.😮

I’ve been using it for a couple months and it’s done great. Reached an all time best of 167kWh peak with my SR Lightning. For folks who may be waiting until June - Oct it’s a good option.

Good video and back to back experiment on the same adapter.

Thanks for the video. Receive mine today add can’t wait to test it this weekend! I’m just going to plan to carry my IR thermometer I use for grilling with me in my car to spot check the temperature of the adapter periodically.

I’ve used it often on my current trip and it has worked flawlessly every time (once I remember to slide the latch in the bottom)

Thanks for watching. I'm glad I got one for my upcoming trip, but if i didn't have that coming up I think I would just wait until the Ford provided one shows up.

I couldn’t wait for the free one. In a month I have to carry my camper from Tahoe to Flagstaff AZ. The options for charging are now greatly enhanced. Nice video!

Is there a nacs charger to ccs car adapter, that works at all nacs chargers? I have a 2023 Chevy Bolt EV CCS. Thank you.

@PMD220S Ай бұрын

I don't think the Bolt will be able to charge at Tesla Superchargers when GM goes online.

@EHermes Ай бұрын

There is for NACS destination chargers (but it is not the one shown in this video; it is a NACS to J-1772 adapter). I am not sure Bolt's will have access to Superchargers when GM comes on board with Tesla later this year

I like this A2Z J3400 adapter, and will likely purchase one… IF my Hyundai is ever given the authorization and software to plug in at Superchargers. Since E'loon has FIRED the Supercharger team, I am willing to wager that those plans have now been delayed -if not betrayed completely. Frankly, I'm starting to think that automakers should just decide to stick with CCS1, and the SEC needs to dictate to Tesla that they have to switch out their Superchargers to use it with with longer cables -just like happened in Europe with the CCS2. Yes, CCS plugs are more cumbersome than NACS, but they work just fine, and I opine that E'loon doesn't deserve the charging profits at this point.

This adaptor is super high quality and is made by a very high quality company.

I don’t think Audi is going to send me one for free, so I ordered an A2Z as soon as I got the multi-month estimate from Ford, to get in before the rush on A2Z. I’ve had it for a few weeks and will continue to use it until I get my adapter from Ford. When Audi gets access to the superchargers next year, I’ll already have an adapter for it.

None of the adapters are “liquid cooled”

i have never heard Rivian pronounced with an O. Rivion sounds so odd...LOL You certainly were getting derated speeds on the Lightning, very likely due to thermals, as I have seen plenty of lightnings use this adapter and charge at 150kw. Cheers!

The claim people are saying that the adapter is going to overheat the battery has no merit.

@EHermes 2 ай бұрын

Very unlikely to damage battery. But, might the car companies try to get out of a warranty claim?
