Is the Ford NACS to CCS-1 adapter UL 2552 rated?

[MidAtlanticLightningClub]

Hey @Ford Motor Company,

The report recently came out that Lectron's adapters have achieved UL 2552 certification:

Reading through the reports and press releases, one thing is unclear: does this apply to the Ford-branded, Lectron-built adapter that Ford sells?

Not an expert, but since the Lectron adapter is different, they would have to submit it separately. Ford site doesn't say it is.

Thus the reason I'm asking the expert.

 

[RickLightning]

"I will check".

2 weeks later.

"Nobody seems to know. We sure didn't submit it for testing, and Lectron didn't return our calls."

The simple answer is no.

The adapter does not bear the official ul marks and therefore is considered to not be approved.

 

[RickLightning]

If it doesn't bear the markings, it's not approved. Once they get approval, they can then apply markings to future ones.

Great question. Let me find out.

EDIT: Found out in record time. We are working on it!

Would this also apply to the Tesla made, Ford-branded adapters earlier?

Tesla didn't manufacture the Ford-branded adapter. The Ford-branded adapter that is manufactured in collaboration with Lectron will be certified retroactively if/when that happens.

The adapter on the right is the initial Ford adapter, made by Tesla...

The adapter on the left is the second Ford adapter, made by Lectron.

Correct.

 

[Al_V]

Correct.

Ok, @Ford Motor Company will the “non-Lectron” adapter ever get the UL 2552 approval?

It's not something I can advise on as we are not the manufacturer or had a hand in co-creating that specific design. It would need to come from the supplier.

@Ford Motor Company Easier for you to ask the supplier than for me.
