CCS adapter for USA available yet?

[wws]

I have used an EVgo that had a standard Tesla CHAdemo adapter cabled to the side of the charger. There are also sites that have the Tesla adapter modified with a longer cable and permanently mounted to the side of the charger.

That red Model 3 is, um, familiar to me...

I just saw this promo for a third-party (i.e., non-Tesla branded) CCS adapter that I understand is supposed to work with Tesla vehicles in North America. Pricey. And safety/reliability unknown. I personally will not be buying, at least not without better assurance on both the safety and reliability points.

LOL. I thought that was my car in the photo from Plugshare. Now that I look back, my car was parked facing the fence, not facing the building.

I got mine, haven't had a chance to use it yet though. It looks like a really nice quality unit, FWIW.

That's not the official Tesla CCS adapter, but one made by Setec.

This is the official Tesla CCS Adapter for cars in South Korea:

Isn't the Tesla CHAdeMO adapter fairly limited in the amount of power throughput though?

Yes 50kw

Not that I have seen. I don't even think it has been released yet. (As I recall they said it would be released sometime in the first half of the year; so it could be another ~5 months before we see it.)

Yes 50kw

and you are only seeing that consistently on a 150amp setup unfortunately.

AFAIK, Tesla has not announced the availability of a CCS adapter for North America, only for Europe -- and the European one is for use by Model S and Model X (the Model 3 comes with a native CCS plug in Europe). Note that the European CCS is physically different than the North American CCS, as are the European and North American Tesla car-side sockets. Thus, the European CCS adapter would be useless in North America.

There's been speculation that Tesla will eventually release a North American CCS adapter, and some hints from Tesla that it might eventually happen, but nothing even remotely concrete, AFAIK.

Tesla has a CCS adapter out for the South Korean market which, to my knowledge, uses the North American socket style. Speculation is that it's only a matter of time before they release it for sale in the US and Canada.

Is it actually for sale in S. Korea, or just coming soon? Do you have a link?

It's not out yet. See post #26 above.
