    Supercharger - Pooler, GA

    NACS is open to non-Tesla. Ford and Rivian are the first 2 manufacturers, and they are starting to ship adapters to their customers. Tesla - Supercharging Other EVs Here is Tesla’s FAQ page all about NACS compatibility and non-Teslas using the Supercharger network.

    Supercharger - Pooler, GA

    All 3 Pooler sites show as NACS compatible on Tesla’s Find Us map. Magic Dock is completely different from NACS compatibility. Magic Dock has a CCS adapter built into each stall. NACS compatible just “speaks” CCS protocol and requires an adapter provided by the user, or a 2025 or newer car with...

    Supercharger - Marmet, WV

    FYI - Both this site and Ripley WV are now showing as NACS compatible sites.

    Supercharger - West Seneca, NY

    Nope, those are V3 Supercharger cabinets. This will be a V3.5 site.

    Supercharger - Blacksburg, VA

    To upgrade to NACS, Tesla has to do a hardware upgrade on-site. Since NACS compatibility is so new, a lot of V3 sites that are under construction, started construction without the new hardware. So Tesla turns the new site on as Tesla-only, and monitors it to check charging sessions for speed and...

    Supercharger - Laguna Hills, CA (LIVE 20 Jun 2023, 16 V3 stalls)

    The Find Us map on Tesla’s website shows this one is not NACS compatible yet. It is likely being upgraded to NACS. This requires hardware retrofit on-site. When they upgrade to Magic Dock or NACS, they do the whole site. They are trying to get as many Superchargers as possible to support other...

    Anyone charge at 800V using a Tesla V4 Supercharger?

    There aren’t any V4 Superchargers in the wild. You would have heard about it, if they had been released. All Superchargers in the U.S. are still V2 150 kW, Urban 72 kW or 250 kW V3 stations. Don’t be confused by anyone claiming a 250 kW Supercharger with taller posts and longer cables are V4...

    Supercharger - Rockland, ME

    Incorrect; Superchargers are either Magic Dock or NACS adapter compatible. If it has been retrofitted with Magic Dock, no need for external adapters as they are already built-in.

    Supercharger - Marmet, WV

    This is close to opening; 3 new power poles bringing power in from across the street and 3 transformers mounted. Looks like it just needs final inspection and commissioning.

    Failing 3 pin charging cable...

    The O.P. is in Oxford England. The standard 3 pin plug they are referring to is what the UK uses as their regular wall outlet.

    First Ever NACS Adapter

    No, because non Magic Dock Superchargers don’t show up in the “Charge my Non-Tesla” section of the app.

    Supercharger - East Peoria, IL

    Unfortunately, no. Tesla doesn’t currently have any 3rd party billing set up for Superchargers, except for those that have been retrofitted with Magic Dock CCS adapters built Into them.

    Supercharger Full

    V2 locations can’t speak CCS, so they won’t be upgraded to Magic Dock. They will remain Tesla-only. V3, V3.5 (V3 250 kW cabinets with V4 dispensers) will support CCS cars. When V4 350 kW Supercharger cabinets roll-out (of which there are none yet, in the world), those should support CCS cars also.

    Power Sharing Question that I can't find the answer to

    Yes, you can use a 100 amp breaker and appropriate sized wire to feed the sub panel before you upgrade your main panel. The two 60 amp breakers will be attached to the Wall Connectors and won’t be upgraded later as that is the highest size breaker that a new Wall Connector supports. Upon...

    Power Sharing Question that I can't find the answer to

    Your wiring feed from the main panel to the sub panel would need to be up-sized appropriately to handle 100 amps. This would be a good future-proofing step towards your ultimate goal of upgrading the house to 400 amp service. By powering the sub panel from 100 amp breaker, you would have a...

    Power Sharing Question that I can't find the answer to

    By having the 60 amp breakers in series, you are providing a 60 amp ”pathway” from the main panel all the way to the car. Yes, it would be very bad practice to oversubscribe the sub panel with two 60 amp devices without any kind of a Power Sharing feature enabled. To your point of 100 amp sub...

    Power Sharing Question that I can't find the answer to

    You can share a 60 amp breaker with 2 Wall Connectors, but they should be on their own breakers. Example, 60 amp breaker feeding a sub panel, then two 60 amp breakers in the sub panel each feeding 1 Wall Connector. So you would end up with three 60 amp breakers. Because the feed is only 60 amp...

    Cold weather trip; Considering avoiding Nav directly to SC to avoid preconditioning

    Slower charging doesn’t help the dendrites, only heat does. The car is charging slower to allow it to be used. If it is charging slower, then still in the danger zone. It’s a cumulative effect. Charging when the pack is cold will form small dendrites, but you as a user won’t notice because you...

    Cold weather trip; Considering avoiding Nav directly to SC to avoid preconditioning

    Any charging (Supercharger, Level 2, even regenerative braking) is dangerous for a cold Lithium Ion battery. Google Lithium plating and dendrite formation. Dendrites are very bad for a battery because if they grow big enough, they can cause internal short circuits. Once they begin to form, it is...

    Cold weather trip; Considering avoiding Nav directly to SC to avoid preconditioning

    There is no reason to avoid preconditioning. If you charge a Lithium Ion battery when it is too cold, it will damage itself by creating short circuits inside. The preconditioning process was lengthened to allow the battery to warm up more slowly. It is not wasting energy by preconditioning for...

    Is 80A wiring absolutely required for Gen2 charger?

    No, it is not required. A Gen 2 Wall Connector can be used on any 240 Volt circuit from 15 Amp up to 80 Amp. A Gen 3 Wall Connector can similarly be used on any 240 Volt circuit from 15 Amp to 60 Amp. The Gen 2 has a physical set of dip switches or a dial inside to set it to match the circuit...

    Non Tesla Charging at Tesla Supercharger station

    Lee Mass is a 150 kW Version 2 Supercharger. It is my understanding that 150 kW Superchargers can’t be upgraded to “speak” CCS and will stay Tesla only. 250 kW Version 3 Superchargers can be upgraded either to allow use of adapters or Magic Dock installation.

    50A NEMA on 60A SubPanel

    Model 3 RWD only has a 7.6 kW on-board charger (32 Amps continuous) versus 11.5 kW on-board charger (48 Amps continuous) in Long Range and Performance trims. No need to put in a 60 Amp circuit breaker for a RWD as it only needs a 40 Amp circuit breaker to max out its on-board charger at 32 Amp...

    Charging with 220V 3 phases in USA Model Y 2023

    Unfortunately, no Teslas in the US support charging on 3 phase. You’ll hook up your Wall Connector to 2 of the phases to get 208 Volts. This is slightly slower charging than on 240 Volt residential electrical service.

    CCS Retrofit for 2017 Model X 75D Opinions

    CCS gives options that you might need. It’s good insurance. My opinion is that with Tesla installing CCS on its Superchargers in Europe and Magic Docks on the Superchargers in North America, means that they have now depreciated the Tesla Connector. I would recommend getting the CCS upgrade now...

    charging at vacation/rental house with only 20 amps (at 240vac) available

    For your rental house, J1772 would be preferred due to every other EV using it besides Tesla. Hardwired is the best choice, it removes a point of failure (an outlet) from the chain. An outlet can heat up and melt; much more difficult to melt a hardwired connection. For your question about the...

    Home charging complete - connector should unlock?

    When it is below freezing, yes the connector unlocks when charging is complete. This is to keep the lock from freezing. The Tesla T light goes off when the car is locked; the car will continue charging, but not communicate the status. Everything you have described is normal behavior.

    For Tesla's in US that support CCS, I have a question. know we can get the CCS Combo 1 adapter. Will the CCS Combo 2 adapter work also outside US?

    Your US Tesla has a proprietary North American Tesla chargeport. European and Far East market Teslas have either the Type 2 chargeport (older Model S or X) or the CCS2 chargeport (Model 3, Y and newer S and X.) There was an adapter to allow older Model S and X to charge from CCS equipped...

    TWC: Native Tesla connector vs J1772

    Get the Tesla Wall Connector with the proprietary port for your Tesla. If your wife gets an EV later, you are going to want to install a 2nd station. At that point, depending on her choice of EV, you install a J1772 if she doesn’t get a Tesla or another Tesla Wall Connector if she does. If you...

    Charged twice at a SC since picked up and my experience...

    When home charging, you would plug it in every night regardless of the SOC (state-of-charge). When Supercharging, to get the fastest charging, the battery has to be mostly empty (10% SOC) and warm to hot. At 72% SOC, it is normal for a Supercharger to only put out 70 kW. The Supercharger slows...

    How Long Does Wall Connector Installation Take? I'm WFH, Need a General Estimate for How Long Power Will Be Out.

    Mine was an all day install because I had to run power all the way across the basement from 1 side of the house to the other. If you are doing a shorter wiring run, then yours will take less time.

    How Long Does Wall Connector Installation Take? I'm WFH, Need a General Estimate for How Long Power Will Be Out.

    When my electrician did mine, he wired everything up first, so that the breaker was the last connection. He did not turn the power off on the panel. He just clipped the breaker in, made sure it was off, then hooked the wires to it.

    will tesla accept 120V 50A?

    A 10-50 hasn’t been code since the mid-1990s, over 25 years ago. OP can’t install an outlet that hasn’t been up-to-code in this century, and it is irresponsible for you to suggest that. Next you’ll be telling him that is perfectly fine to install knob-and-tube wiring to charge his Tesla. He...

    Can Tesla still drivable when charging cable is cut? [No]

    The proximity pin on the charge cable says to the car that it is plugged in. Doesn’t matter if the charge port is not getting a signal from the control pilot pin. 2 different pins, 2 different functions.

    Supercharger - Grants Pass, OR

    That makes sense that Tesla would install Starlink at this location. AT&T’s cellular coverage map shows that it still has only LTE service and no 5G or 5G+. Once Tesla starts installing 5G modems in their cars, this location would still need Starlink to get good speed for streaming Netflix or...

    Tesla wall charger installed (UK)

    The Wall Connector is tethered, which means that the cable is integrated. Most slow chargers (Type 2) found in public locations in the UK and Europe, are untethered. For those you have to provide the cable. So keep the cable in your car, as you never know where you might find one. As to a cover...

    Help please

    No adapters needed; All Tesla and other EVs in England use a “Type 2” connector. The only gotcha is if the wall unit is tethered or un-tethered. If it is tethered, it has an integrated cable always attached. Just pull up to it and plug in. If un-tethered, you have to supply the cable. Not sure...

    Supercharger - Sutton, WV

    It is highly variable how long it takes the power company to install the transformer. Could be tomorrow, or it could be another couple of months. Once the transformer is placed and the site passes all of its various inspections, Tesla usually turns it on within a few days.
