CCS Combo upgrade: completed in under an hour

[squarepeg77]

After a small delay waiting for parts, I had the CCS combo 2 upgrade installed by a Milton Keynes mobile service technician today.

He arrived 10 minutes ahead of schedule and beat his 1 hour estimate, completing the work in about 45 minutes!

(Now hurry up and complete Amesbury supercharger...)

That upgrade to CCS charging has to be the sale of the century compared to the cost of replacing a Zoe charge socket just because the poorly designed inner door has snapped off!

Can I ask what the current (see what I did there?) price is?

 

[squarepeg77]

£280

£280

Did that include the adaptor?

I thought that it was a two part solution, all for the one price. A rework of the cars electrics and a CCS adaptor? Came in at around the £4xx mark.

Has things changed?

 

[squarepeg77]

Yes, rework of charger electronics and includes the adaptor.

See CCS Combo 2 here:

(Don’t know why the page link didn’t work to go straight to the section)

There was a thread where someone mentioned the Tesla Owners Group (UK?) met with Tesla and argued for a price cut. I don’t know about that, but £280 is rather more palatable than £495 or whatever it was before.

Update: I got an "Output Fault #2418" error from my Zappi v2 after a few hours of charging.
Coincidence? We'll see...

Given that the V3 Supercharger sites are CCS only it makes sense that they would make the retrofit/adapter more reasonably priced.

I suspect those Model S and Model X owners whom bought vehicles with "Unlimited Free Supercharging" may be feeling a little bit cheated...

£280 including the adapter is really good value - parts, an hours labour, vat etc etc. Will get this done asap once I get the car.

Well, I'm more miffed that I missed MCU2 by about a month

I got free supercharging (and no, I don't hog - my time is more valuable than the free joules!) - but really don't want to be locked out of the, finally expanding, supercharger network.
