First experience with Lectron Supercharger adapter

[ATL_Canes]

With HOT Weather already cooking our connectors/adaptors & I did read about Tesla users placing wet towels on their connector to keep them from getting too warm/hot, I conducted a test today.

I went to a NACS Adaptor required Charger in Burlington, VT & with a cloudless day I connected & started charging from 29% & at 56.40% the connector/adaptor got too warm & the charger shut down & I had to disconnect & it was warm, but not hot. I tired multiple times to reconnect & continue charging & the station would not recognize "Tarkus" was connected , so I went back to work drive testing & circled back to this same charger two hours later & this time I added my version of keeping the connector/adaptor from getting warm/hot & it seemed to work (see pics).

Charging went from 47% to 80.80% & no shut down by the charger until I stopped (due to passing 80%).

I'll be retesting this theory again on the next cloudless day & my visit to a Tesla NACS adaptor Station.

This is great! I had my charging session just stop early yesterday with no errors from the car. It was hot out (high 90s) so my only guess was the heat. Will continue to test, but at least I know my initial thought wasn’t crazy.

What was your order date from Lectron? I placed an order for a Vortex adapter from Lectron five weeks ago and it has been crickets.

I received the Lectron Vortex this week, just shy of 6 weeks from order being placed. Hope yours arrives soon!
