Are you interested in a Mennekes to Tesla charging cable?

[dpeilow]

Poll for Tesla to create a "Mennekes to Tesla" charging cable.

 

[widodh]

Yes, very much!

Also, see the following topics:

* Conversion Tesla Adapter to Mennekes socket
* EV-Box Mennekes to CEE (60309) Group Buy
* charging options going from Switzerland to Sweden

All dutch charging stations have the three-phase Mennekes connector with at least 3x16A, so please Tesla, get this connector out!

 

[Eberhard]

urgently wanted

 

[felixtb]

Yes we are all (I hope) screaming for this. I have not even picked up my new toy yet but already know that I need this jumper cable and probably others too since there seems to be no real standard in Europe yet........

 

[felixtb]

come on EU roadster owners you should really vote on this! to make tesla understand the real need. I know we are at least about 510 of as at this point so get voting!

and all the Project Better Place charging stations in Denmark also have the Mennekes connector

 

[AndrewBissell]

Don't forget the Metro Centre in Gateshead

 

[felixtb]

are there really only 15 people in Europe that are interested in this? or are we only 15 Europeans that come to these forums? that I suppose is possible......... and this is obviously why tesla rarely listens to us.........! understandable, we represent not even 3% of the EU roadster population........ :-(

 

[dpeilow]

Well, there are, what, five British owners who post here? Maybe ten Germans? So I'd guess we see 10% of owners here. Thus I guess you can multiply the above demand by ten.


By the way, I spotted one in the wild yesterday. A Mennekes charging post that is, not an owner.

I am really interested, in the Netherlands the public charging points are being converted to Mennekes points this year.

 

[AndrewBissell]

Has everyone who posted on this thread also voted in the poll? It's not enough just to say "me too" - make your vote count!

The charging points in Amsterdam from "Amsterdam Electric" ? The chargers from E-Laad already have a Mennekes connector.

 

[Banzai]

Yes I want à Tesla to Mennekes cable. Where is Tesla waiting for?

 

[dpeilow]

Would a pigtail for the UMC, limited to 40A, be acceptable? Or do you prefer a pass through cable that could handle 70A?

I suspect a 70A pass through cable would weigh less and cost less than UMC+pigtail. I'd rather just dump the UMC assuming Tesla upgrade the car to J1772.

 

[doug]

A pigtail might be a good option for those who already have a UMC, but they should really just make a through cable. If they don't offer it, you might be better off just converting an HPC.

 

[nikwest]

I'd love to have such a cable. I got my roadster last friday and I am really baffled that I could not use any public charging station. If I had such a cable the first thing is to return my UMC cable. This takes far too much space anyway.

Great - where can we buy a 70A J1772 plug and socket set?
