Buying CHAdeMO to Tesla Adapters

[MX174]

Hello Tesla Motors Club community.

Our facilities have a number of CHAdeMO-equipped DC chargers that we use to quick-charge Tesla vehicles via adapters. These chargers are available to our private fleet and the traveling public.

Tesla has removed the CHAdeMO adapters from the store and we did not purchase spares in advance. We are looking to purchase additional adapters now to ensure we can continue to make use of the chargers we purchased. Fingers crossed that the CCS adapter will arrive soon...

Please PM me if you have a CHAdeMO to Tesla adapter, new or used, that you would be willing to sell and support the traveling Tesla community. We have been paying on average $750 + shipping per unit and will extend this offer until we've purchased a sufficient quantity.

We are NOT purchasing these units for resale purposes.

Regards,

David

CHAdeMO Adapter

Take advantage of the global network of DC charging stations by enabling onboard hardware and purchasing with an external adapter. CHAdeMO stations enable charging at up to 43 kW or 108 km of range per half hour. For Model S without Supercharging enabled, onboard hardware must be activated to...

Thank you Sophias Dad,

I appreciate your input. Please note that the site you referenced if the AU site, meaning Australia, http://shop.tesla.com/en_au/product/chademo-adapter. The product is still available on the Korea site also. I was similarly directed to a non-US Tesla Shop when I tried to google search for the adapter. I had then attempted to order the product from a non-US Tesla Shop. My order was subsequently canceled without explanation a few days later and my IP address was subsequently blocked/banned from the Tesla Shop section of all Tesla websites...

As a result, I'm drawing the conclusion that Tesla intends to still offer the adapter, but wants to put tighter controls on use and availability of adapters for third party charging equipment in the US market where they have higher Supercharger capacity and locations.

Offer stands on the CHAdeMO adapters.

Cheers!

There's an 'australia' TMC forum that might be able to help you out, in case you didn't know. How many of these adapters do you want?

Australia probably cannot directly help. Like Europe, Australian Models S & X use the Type 2 ("Mennekes") charging port and Model 3 (Y n/a in Australia?) uses the CCS Combo 2 charging port. These ports require that the CHAdeMO adapters sold there have Type 2 plugs that are not directly compatible with North American cars.

Besides Canada, the USA, and maybe Mexico(?), the only other countries that I believe use(d) the Tesla Proprietary Connector standard are/were South Korea, Japan (where CHAdeMO originated), and Taiwan. Taiwan switched to the Type 2 standard and CHAdeMO adapters are no longer available on the Tesla Japan website.
