I got just over 150kW on a Petro Canada unit.

A couple people have them out here on the coast. Seems to be good up to 150 kWh, and I’ve heard nothing about any issues thus far.

I got up to 138kW today. Got the adapter and came straight to try it out. So far so good.

Mine was able to reach up to 190kw at an EA charger.

I have both the Tesla one and the A2Z but have used neither . The A2Z one seems more robust somehow.

More robust?
How so?

I just received my Tesla adapter and just unboxed it, and it's heavy like a brick

Actually, I hope my Tesla adapter is robust because the box it came in looks like the shippers played a half of football with it. Quite shoddy really

The Tesla North American CCS1 adapter is rated at 250kW. Even though that rating may not be usable at present, it appears to be more future-proof than the aftermarket ones.

Both A2Z adapter and OEM have similar performances. We had some customers making some comparisons and both adapters pull around the same numbers. A2Z’s peak seems more steady. We are waiting for a video from a member of this very forum comparing both on YouTube.

Not confirming anything but according to our research, it SEEMS, OEM adapter from SK and NA are the same. Just the manufacturer using some marketing punches in titles and descriptions. No specs are stated on their website, adapter. Only 500V. That’s all.

In conclusion, same performances and functions, as for safety pin, we mentioned in other posts that we started production for a retrofit ring adapter.

Correct. They have same performance now. But I was talking about future-proofing. A2Z says it is up to 150kW. On Tesla Canada store, it is rated at 250kW. See screenshot.

A customer and a fellow member of TOCA (Tesla Owners Club of Alberta) managed to reach 214kW on a 2021 MSLR with the A2Z Thunderstorm Plug.
