CCS charge on Model S with the adapter

[Galinette]

Hi,

I recently had my 2018 MS retrofitted for CCS. It seems to work well on Ionity chargers, but not on the smaller 50kW DC chargers that are spread in country towns (in France). The car says that charge failed, and the charger's display says that the car abandoned the charge.

Had someone successfully used the CCS adapter outside the Ionity network? Ionity is expensive and redundant with superchargers, so not very useful. I paid the retrofit in the hope to charge on these smaller country plugs, which are at strategic locations (such as on my ski resort trip...)

I had charge every week on 50 kw ABB charger since September last year
(because nearest SC is on 600km and I don't have even idea how far closest Ionity is)

Thanks,

Do you have a model 3 with native CCS, or a S/X with adapter?

I have used 50kW chargers a couple of times with my S100D without any problems.

These were mainly ABB chargers

I know I'm from the other side of the world, but I'm experiencing the same issue on 50kW chargers. I too have a 2018 model S retrofitted for CCS2. Works fine on 350kW CCS2 chargers (and CCS2 on Tesla SC), but when I plug it into 50kW CCS2 chargers it starts to charge then 2 seconds later throws a communication error and stops. I've tried a few 50kW chargers are they all give the same error. I'm going to speak with Tesla to see if they know what is going on.

I've done it a few times at LIDL supermarket.
Both the type2 and the 50kW CCS charging work fine.
I have a model S with the CCS upgrade & adapter

We have charged at the ABB charger at the Lidl nearby a good number of times on CCS 50kw. 2018 MX with adaptor.
