Just a summary of issues brought up in this thread: Yes, we can modify the Tesla Wall Connector for J1772 Yes, you can connect up to 4 Wall Connectors together on one electrical circuit (15-100 amp) Yes, JDapter Stub also is viable Yes, virtually all Tesla charging equipment is built outside...

Did they offer a repair 7 years ago (when Blink was flush in Obama Bucks, Nissan bailout money and investor cash?) ? Yes, I think they did. Toyota / Tesla repaired the inlet on my two week old RAV4 EV under warranty. There was a design change to the RAV4 design to make it easier to exchange...

Yes, that was my car in Nov 2011.

If you want real safety, use a 40 amp rated JDapter Stub in the length you need. You’ll need your J1772 adaptor.

This is HUUUUuuuuuge news. The car actually knows what a CHAdeMO adaptor is.

I have purchase hundreds of items from the Tesla online store over the last almost 6 years. The experience can be ok one time, and horrific the next. I wouldn’t even bother trying to call or write, because they rarely respond. If the part doesn’t arrive within a reasonable time, I just contest...

UL doesn’t extend past the wire lugs. Put anything on there that is safe, meets code in your area, and will pass a safely inspection form a government representative. That includes a NEMA 14-50, of that’s what you want. You can find UL listed 14-50 pigtails at Home Depot.

The new joint charging standard is called HPC. It is designed to be capable of up to 900kW ! While the physical plug is different than CHAdeMO (Japan) or GB/T (China), vehicles with those plugs will be reverse compatible with an adaptor (similar to the Tesla to CHAdeMO adaptor). The German...

The maximum charge power of the following cars: 16 amps or less (3.8kW at 240 volts): Nissan LEAF (2011-2012), Chevy Volt, Chevy Spark EV, Toyota Prius Plug-In, Ford C-Max Energy, Ford Fusion Energy, ZERO motorcycle (2015 and newer with J1772), Brammo motorcycle, Smart Electric Drive, Ford...

I have a picture around here somewhere of a Roadster charging on “L3”... at Cal Tech. Obviously, the Roadster can be modified to use L3, just like it can be modified to use J1772 or Tesla plugs. They have oodles of 80 amp stations at Cal Tech... we provided them the cables and plugs. With the...

Yes, we extend HPWC GEN1 and GEN2 cables. The NEC rules about “25 feet” only apply without “cable management”. They don’t want the cables all over the ground. If you have some method to manage the cable (coil it upon a hook), then you met the requirement. There is no specific definition what...

Yes, as already stated, the maximum for Tesla cars is 120kW (about 330-365 amps). The maximum output of the v2 Supercharger is indeed 145kW. The Model 3 is capable of 525 amps, according to Tesla, so I expect 175-200kW with v3 Superchargers: For example: 525A * 330V = 175kW 525A * 380V =...

German cars, like the BMW i3, must have CHAdeMO in Japan (and the i3 does... it’s not an adaptor). Cars sold in China must have GB/T (two separate plugs for AC and DC), and in the future, China and maybe Japan will migrate together to HPC (up to 900kW). You won’t have to worry about CCS in the...

San Clemente, California is packed full again.

Your second generation UMC, as well as the first generation UMC, both have a NEMA 5-20 plug available. I don’t recommended mixing amperage. The same is true of the TT-30 adaptor. Use a 30 amp receptacle (either NEMA 10-30, or 14-30). Removing the neutral pin on a NEMA 14- series plug also...

Yes, Quick 220 can be very convenient, and as you note, it requires a 6-15 adaptor for the first generation 40 amp UMC. I recommend using an adaptor from NEMA 6-15P to NEMA 5-15R, so there is no chance of overloading the circuit. Just clearly mark the adaptor for DANGER * 208-240 VOLTS ONLY *...

Yes, the CS6364 plug is out there, as is the NEMA 10-50. Here’s my “top 12”: 1) Adaptor "A" for RV parks, new clothes dryers, stoves and ovens (NEMA 14-60, 14-50, 14-30, 14-20, with removed neutral pin) 2) Adaptor "B" for welders and industrial (NEMA 6-50) 3) Adaptor "C" for older electric...

You need to be prepared for when it does work!

Where’s your CHAdeMO adaptor? How about a JLong (for when you inevitably get blocked out of a J1772 Charge station somewhere)? I have anninsulated screwdriver, wire strippers and cutters, and a few simple hand tools with my electrical circuit breaker box kit. You should probably have a voltage...

JDapter Stub™ (newer model with a green dot) has electronics inside to defeat the digital communication. It works with ALL Tesla charge stations in North America and Japan, including: *HPWC Wall Connector GEN2 (using either digital or analog communication settings, using North America / Japan...

One of the newest Supercharger locations in Southern California, built 9 months ago.

Yes, cut off a Roadster UMC. 40 amp limit. I don’t think we have any of the 70 amp cables in stock at the moment.

That’s from the UMC, therefore 40 amp limit.

DC Fast chargers in the USA: ABB - 120-125 amps - used by eVgo, Greenlots and others, very dependable, Swiss company Blink - 125 amps (CHAdeMO only) - Blink / Car Charging only, complete garbage, will be bankrupt soon (built in Arizona) Bosch - 60-63 amps (CCS only) - ChargePoint network...

I’ve got a whole bucket full of failed Tesla charge stations, as well as melted Tesla NEMA 14-50 plugs, and lots of other goodies made not so well by Tesla.

Not sure where the email was sent, but I personally was out of the office for most of July 2018. We have staff at our office, Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm Pacific. 1-844-EV-PARTS 1-844-387-2787 1-760-798-0342 We get new Tesla HPWC GEN2 regularly, so I’m not aware of any changes. That...

Yes, JDapter Stub™ will work perfectly.

NOTICE TO TESLA DRIVERS 4 JULY 2018 The city is having a HUGE festival and fireworks, and the Supercharger is blocked off today. Second issue - the navigation display showed only 1 of 8 stalls available, and naturally that makes it seem like it’s both “in use” and available. It’s not...

That’s a Fisker / Revero / Karma

There’s a thread for this. Anyone tested CHAdeMO Adapter on Model 3

CHAdeMO is still number one worldwide by a large margin: Global 18030 Europe 6260 USA 2320 Asia 2020 Japan 7250 Other 180

I can guess as well as anybody’s about what any of these companies will actually do, but it’s only a guess. The 6-7 years of “CCS taking over” is pretty obvious that it’s not “taking over”. CHAdeMO just announced, as expected and as I predicted, its 400A * 1000V = 400kW protocol, v2.0. Now...

4 June 2018 @ 7:27am Marius, First, let me say that my posts are moderated here, so you may not see this response for days, or even weeks. It’s always discouraging to read anything like your experiences with any of our products. Sorry for all the issues. I want to be clear, however, that...

I sent the Amazon seller the following question: “Why are you selling such a dangerous device, that will allow a Tesla car to use 40 amps (NEMA 14-50) on a 20 amp rated plug?” Please, get a proper 16/ 20 amp plug from Tesla. Tesla does not have any “L” series locking plugs, however you can buy...

The Sun Country Highways units are Clipper Creek stations at 70 amps.

There are chargers out there on 277 volts.

The Germans decided to kludge on a couple of large DC pins to their Menekkes Type 2 plug in an effort to fit any future electrical conductive connection into an existing body panel used for a gasoline or diesel access port. The SAE just rubber-stamps whatever they do. Actually, the SAE just...

The ongoing “CCS will take over (from its last place position)” is alive and well in this thread. If I were to choose a worldwide standard FROM AN EXISTING ONE, it would China’s GB/T. Of course, it doesn’t really matter why, as folks supporting their brand of charging are sometimes fact...

There are sites that rent the adaptor, like ours.

The comments concerning whether or not you need a CHAdeMO adapter based on another individual user’s particular view is pretty comical. Obviously, there are many uses for the CHAdeMO adapter and they are used daily. If you think it’s too expensive to have, how expensive might it be if you had...

So, now there are at least two photos of the Model 3 getting tested with CHAdeMO: 1) Canada several months ago, most likely with the North American Tesla inlet 2) Norway recently, probably with the Type 2 inlet Sounds like very normal, methodical testing. I’d guess that this is merely...

Weak breakers are common. Throw that one away and get a new one. They're cheap.

I do not recommend using a ground fault current interrupt (GFCI) outlet with any mobile connector. There is already a GFCI built into the unit itself and that’s why it’s causing the problems.

Every utility has different rules and procedures, every government entity that regulates has different rules and procedures and timelines, every location has a myriad of issues to be addressed including available power at the site, issues with trenching, digging, cutting through concrete in...

Yes, given the news about SAE-CCS-Combo1 in South Korea (GM was lobbying for that for years... Australia is actually dumping Combo1 for Combo2), I fully expect that future Korean cars will all have CCS. Renault and Nissan are more formalizing their alliance, and Mitsubishi is absolutely CHAdeMO...

The 2019 Nissan LEAF e+ will most definitely be 200 amps (about 75kW max). They will advertise that as either “100kW”or “150kW”, just like the Germans do with “350kW” that will actually charge the Porsche MissionE at about 225 to 275kW (350 amps @ 650-700 volts). It may hit 400 amps for a short...
