Just received it! I’m in Chicago and it looks like they have a distribution center in IL they are shipping from.Nice, what time (and in which time zone) did you place your order?

The problem is they are either Tesla or Clipper Creek in which case the property owner must pay for the power which adds up over time, or they are ChargePoint or Blink and cost an arm and a leg upfront, and always break and no one feels the compunction to fix it.The amount of V2 heads available vs a single DCFC (50 and above) is a lot more desirable. I’d venture to say on the order of maybe eight to ten L2’s vs the one DCFC.
OK I did follow the link and the product is reasonable in price. Looks like it would be ideal for apartment building installs.The problem is they are either Tesla or Clipper Creek in which case the property owner must pay for the power which adds up over time, or they are ChargePoint or Blink and cost an arm and a leg upfront, and always break and no one feels the compunction to fix it.
If we could find a cheap way to blanket parking lots with chargers that could bill the person plugging in, that would be genius. {maybe check out the link}
We gotta get comparisons of the stickers/model numbers to find this out.Looks like the Korean adapter is rated for 150kw but the North American says 250kw on the order page. Maybe there actually is a difference?
The Korean web page does not say 150kw, in fact it doesn't mention any KW that I can see.Looks like the Korean adapter is rated for 150kw but the North American says 250kw on the order page. Maybe there actually is a difference?
Yes, 500v and 300 amp DC is 150kw which is why I find it interesting that they say 250kw for NA.The Korean web page does not say 150kw, in fact it doesn't mention any KW that I can see.

Rated:
500 Vd.c, 300 Ad.c.
Spec's are the same
Voltage 500V DC
Enclosure Rating IP44
Operating Temperature -22°F to +122°F (-30°C to +50°C)
Storage Temperature -40°F to +185°F (-40°C to +85°C)
What is the North American version part number?
The Korean one from the order page is 1656565-10-A
@MatildaModelY we want pics pleaseJust received it! I’m in Chicago and it looks like they have a distribution center in IL they are shipping from.
Maybe, but 250kW is possible today with 650A when the battery is at lower SoC and around 380VI'm going to wildy speculate that it's rated for 800v and telsa is working on 800v battery for the S and X. I bet cyber truck will be 800v
Also, I’ve never gotten more than around 70kW regardless of what they are rated with the SK adapter. I’ve tried ChargePoint rated up to 125 and EA both 150 and 350. I doubt the US version is different but l will check.Here is the adapter I got from South Korea vs US

Are public ccs chargers capable of 650a though? I thought their max was 500a or something like that...
Can't prove this, but I suspect the 300A is a continuous rating rather than peak. The cars typically don't sustain 250kW for very long. The adapter does have a thermal breaker built in, so theoretically it shouldn't be possible to get to dangerously hot temps regardless.Or, are they basically the same product, but in the years since the original Korean introduction additional testing has demonstrated (to Tesla and/or NA regulators) that the the adapter can safely handle higher power levels in Canada and the U.S.?

Would be curious if the weight between the US and Korean versions is any different
