Flo network adapters for Model Y

[jeffshaner]

All - traveling in Canada right now with my Model Y and have to veer off the TransCanada. I see the Flo network stations are there but charging with the J1772 adapter is, well, not a pleasant experience. Its SLOOOWWW.

It looks like you need the Chademo adapter and of course they are all sold out on the Tesla site. Any after market product to find in short notice? Any advice?

The Setec CCS adapter does work on Flo (AddEnergie SmartDC) chargers. It's sold in North America by Lectron now and has fairly quick delivery.
It's pretty expensive though.

It seemed super unclear. Some mentions of special firmware being needed? It's not unclear. If you drive a 2013-2020 Model S/X, you can get 200A. Everything else doesn't; there's no firmware shenanigans with this statement.

If you’re in the vicinity of a Tesla store, you could stop in and see if they have a CHAdeMO adapter in stock. That’s how I got mine, although that was last year.

Depending on where you are, some local EV groups have chademo adapters for loaning/renting.

Unhappily the Setek adapter listed above was tested on a couple FLO DCFCs in Atlantic Canada and was not reliable for charging. Hopefully they have a firmware update available soon to solve the communication issues.

I second stopping at a Tesla store (or calling ones nearby) to see if there’s a Chademo adapter in stock: frequently a shop would have stock, but not update the website to reflect that.

I am selling a used (but in perfect working order) Chademo adapter for $500 Canadian (firm). It sells for $530 new (on the Tesla Canada website), but is rarely in stock. I am in Brampton Ontario.

The adapter is now sold.
