    Charging at a Tesla Super Charger with a J1772 EV Adapter.

    Nothing bad would happen. The car and SC would see a pilot signal. On the low voltage signal wires, the SC would try to talk the CCS protocol, and the car would try to talk the J1772 protocol, and neither would work, so the SC wouldnā€™t turn on the juice on the power pins.

    A2Z NACS To CCS1 Adapter Review

    Yes, but that doesnā€™t mean they couldnā€™t have also manufactured adapters. Itā€™s like they took a very passive approach to the adapter issue.

    A2Z NACS To CCS1 Adapter Review

    Yes, but that doesnā€™t excuse Ford and Rivian from sitting on their hands.

    A2Z NACS To CCS1 Adapter Review

    Thanks for the update A2Z. Wild how Tesla/Ford/Rivian couldnā€™t figure out how to mass produce these in the 8 months they had available to them, but a smallish manufacturer in Canada could. A2Z even had to design something and test from scratch while Tesla had an already designed part from MagicDock.

    A2Z NACS To CCS1 Adapter Review

    Correct. Everything is locked together and you must use app or inside vehicle to stop charging.

    Hereā€˜s a good one that comes with multiple plugs. https://grizzl-e.com/products/grizzl-e-mini/ Heres a cheaper one that has been sold for a while: https://www.evseadapters.com/products/zencar-10-32a-adjustable-120-240v-ev-charger-evse-with-timer-and-wall-mount/

    Lectron vortex adapter (level 3 supercharger to CCS)

    State of charge did a review of the Lectron. Iā€™m happy with my smaller A2Z unit.

    Video: Tesla supercharging pricing / cost shows on both R1 screens while charging

    Iā€™m getting Sirius Cybernetics Corp. vibes of elevators that can see into the future (from Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy).

    A2Z NACS To CCS1 Adapter Review

    I can answer that - A2Z and Lectron are retail stores. Yes, they "manufacture" their own designs, but that simply means they contract out to an actual manufacturer to build some or all of their in-house design. Tesla would have gone directly to large manufacturing companies that could...

    Video: Tesla supercharging pricing / cost shows on both R1 screens while charging

    Uh no, just get an A2Z or Lectron adapter. So since I have an A2Z adapter, thought I'd try my closest Tesla SC tonight. The Tesla integration is awesome. It shows the NACS enable chargers in your map along with # of free stalls. Unfortunately that number always seems to be out of date (Tesla...

    EV Hacking: This Is How Easy It Is to Sabotage the Power Grid | WSJ

    Gawd that guy being interviewed is fear mongering to increase his sales. I mean really. Hacking into a hardware device to grab a WiFi password is a lot of work. And then he says "which could lead to getting your bank account password". No, it wouldn't. That's the entire effing point of browser...

    Unofficial Lectron DCFC NACS to CCS 500A / 1000v YouTube interview with Lectron’s CEO by State of Charge. Review coming soon.

    Actually I think Rivian is the one that's been handing out their official adapter to influencers. A2Z just ships to customers. Here's the latest from A2Z: Lectron isn't active on X. I think they are more backlogged than A2Z.

    āš”ļø Rivian announces: March Tesla Supercharger access & free NACS adapters!

    Yeah, I monitor the F150 Lightning forum and no one's had a problem with their A2Z adapter, other than fumbling with that manual latch.

    āš”ļø Rivian announces: March Tesla Supercharger access & free NACS adapters!

    Either will work. State of Charge's YouTube channel interviewed both CEOs and they seem to have their acts together. I suspect A2Z will ship faster if you need something quickly. Lectron's design is more user friendly. The A2Z adapter has a manual Tesla connector latch that you have to manually...

    āš”ļø Rivian announces: March Tesla Supercharger access & free NACS adapters!

    No, the only way to get the discounted rate is to use the Tesla app. Someone on X already confirmed this by trying it both ways.

    Unofficial Lectron DCFC NACS to CCS 500A / 1000v YouTube interview with Lectron’s CEO by State of Charge. Review coming soon.

    That is NOT a Lectron adapter review. That video was uploaded a month ago and was done before Tom even got his Lectron adapter. Tom will be uploading his actual Lectron adapter review soon. The video you posted was an interview with Lectronā€™s CEO.
