Used only once (with a Rivian), works. $160 including shipping. I'll accept Paypal, Zelle and Venmo. Shipping from San Diego, CA. I'll ship quickly.

All true! So, when is Ford going to make a full sized electric SUV?

Yeah, the wet cloth seems to be the right answer for now in extreme heat and/or direct sun. And yes, a bit of a failure in product testing!

Folks on the Rivian forum have discovered that when they store their Tesla Supercharger adapter (in particular, the Lectron one) in the frunk in desert weather (120F), that’ll it error out when trying to supercharge. All SC adapters have temperature sensors in them so it is best to keep the...

I wouldn’t buy it. It is designed wrong. It is a CCS1 extension cord, and people don’t need CCS1 extensions. What they need is a NACS extension. Yes you can use the CCS1 extension at a Tesla SC with the adapter, but it won’t work on new vehicles post 2025 since they won’t have CCS1 at all...

Yes, your included mobile charger will have a plug for that exact receptacle (check before you go!) and will charge at 30A/240V. Do call ahead to the camp ground and tell them you'll be charging there just to make sure they will allow it since some older campgrounds have more dodgy electrical...

For most people who don’t do an unusual amount of daily driving, yes, a 240V 30A breaker (giving you a 24A charge rate) is sufficient. I am presuming that it is a double pole 30A breaker, and thus able to supply 240V. I always recommend to buy and install a hardwired EVSE rather than one that...

A2Z just posted another shipping update. Wild how Tesla/Ford/Rivian couldn’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...

Seems it is also hard to shove the Tesla plug into the Lectron adapter according to the State of Charge review. So, yes, will be nice to get the official adapter!

If you charge a lot on Tesla SCs, then you'd want to enroll in their monthly membership program and then you'd have to use their app to get the discounted rate, bypassing plug and charge anyways.

I tried out my Rivian at a Tesla SC last night with my A2Z adapter. It worked great. Since I had a credit card in my Rivian account/app, plug and charge started, didn’t have to do anything. The Rivian vehicle touchscreen integration is really good too, shows lives stats on how many stall are...

You obviously don’t live in Southern California! The chargers down here are always busy. Tesla has stated that they run the SC network at or near breakeven. Look at the financials of any public charging network company and you’ll see they are far from breakeven. And then look at NEVI funding...

It’s a small percentage of their sold cars by now. They stopped doing that just before their first mass market vehicle, the Model 3, started shipping.

Btw, the WSJ article was also wrong in saying Tesla was getting the lions share of NEVI funds. I have yet seen them get more than 15% in any state.

Where did you hear blacklisted? Which Tesla TOS?

Yes, new NEVI funding requires longer cables, Magicdocks, CC readers and screens. All of which costs more money, which the govt pays for.

Thing is Tesla has about 25,000 North American stalls and they aren't about to change cable length or port location for all that installed hardware. Sure, new V4 stalls will help, but it'll take a long while to overcome that installed base (like 10 years). So Rivian can say things like that...

Has anyone heard anything about the Lextron adapter? Anyways, here’s the latest about A2Z and shipping:

The opening up of Tesla superchargers has nothing to do with public funding. Tesla has bid for public DC fast charging but those are new installs with additional requirements like credit card readers.

Jerry doesn’t know what he’s talking about. As others have pointed out, DC fast charging sites get whacked by demand charges, which easily exceed the per kWh rates. No one pays just that $0.06 industrial rate. He also isn’t showing the Tesla membership pricing, which people would use if you’re...
