CHAdeMO test on Model 3 (US)

Geez, I would take a folding chair or stool to rest that adapter. It can't be good to have all that weight at the plug.

I found the issue. I didn't connect correctly.

EVgo supposed to add tesla connector to all their stations but looks like their roll out been very slow. Covid is not helping either.

Yeah, I had a similar frustration. Tried two or three times and kept getting an error message. Then I was very careful in making the two connections, especially the adapter to the EVgo plug. Eventually I saw/felt the connection. Can't remember if I was using my app or my EVgo card. Anyway, I finally got it to work just fine. Glad I have the CHAdeMO adapter.

I got my CHAdeMO adapter yesterday, I went to 4 EVGO stations, and it didn't work in all of them. I don't have the RFID yet, so I used my smartphone to hit Start, but I always got the same message informing me that there was an issue. When I connected the charger to the adapter, I didn't hear any "click" too. Any input?

First thing is that the CHAdeMO adaptor needs to be fully seated and latch, if it doesn’t it won’t work, so you need to pull and slam it back in so it can seat correctly, it’s a pain. My first CHAdeMO adaptor was defected inside, it would pop and you can smell something burning from inside the adaptor. I contacts Tesla sales and they sent me a new one and that one did work.

Electrify America, the most I have seen was 33kw.

With CHAdeMO going away (even Nissan is giving up on it in the U.S. with their new car and is going to CSS), I don't think it is much of a big deal anymore... I'm much rather have a CSS adapter. The latest stats show there are now more CSS station \s in the U.S. than CHAdeMO.
