Hi luckylao, 7km per hour is good enough if charge overnight.... do you plug it in normal socket or you install a new one particularly for the car? How hot was it if you charge say overnight? Thanks
Mark, I also think these EVSE are not very user friendly. I tried these EVSE in couple government parkings (Shau Kee Wan, Star Ferry, Rumsey Street and Tin Hau), I can never get it work in first attempt. I have to unplug it (both ends) and press the Start button couple times. Sometimes it works with press & hold the button, but sometimes it doesn't work for no reason.Waidy,
The IEC chargers in car park 4 -should- look like this:
View attachment 58083
Expect about 26km per hour of charging.
That said, I don't know of anyone who has used them yet, so please let us know your experience.
A little tricky to operate. Seems you have to press-and-hold the buttons on the EVSE to start power.
And I think the worst thing to park at these spots is that you have to move the cones and they are really dirty (my hand are black after touching them). Don't touch your headliner or else they will get stained. Every time I move the cones back to the spot after I am done. Of course, this is better than these spots being ICED.
If you want to charge your Tesla from a B1363 socket, Luckylao pictured the adapter above. I've just resized it here. It's not really an adapter, it's a Portable EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) because it has active circuitry inside and the Mennekes one shown has adjustable current signaling.Is there an adaptor for the type 2 that makes it a B1363?
Thank you for contacting Tesla Motors. The CHAdeMO adapter is in the final stages of development and testing, however a delivery date has not yet been determined for our customers in Hong Kong. Your name has been added to the waitlist and we will contact you as soon as it is available.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
I may get one too. It looks more attractive than the 10A cable.
I think that is 15,500 USD (not HKD).
Tried an interesting charger today. Not with a Tesla, but another EV.
A 50kW ChaDeMo / CCS combo made by ABB. It's in the Tak Long Estate (at Kai Tak) carpark, 1st floor.
Managed by CLP but not yet listed on their website.
Charging is free and with parking at $12/h it's as good as a Supercharger elsewhere. Just hope Tesla will release the ChaDeMo adapter soon.
PS: Entered it on the Openchargemap already.
In the US, or rather, if you have a US address, you can order a J1772 adapter:
Tesla Gear Shop SAE J1772
95 USD in the Tesla Store.
Something tells me this would NOT work on a HK spec Model S, right?
It seems it has been available in the US for more than 2 years: #5
I am pretty sure the HK spec Model S uses the "Type2" 3-phase compatible socket on the car, not the US spec Tesla proprietary socket. So the US "Type 1" (J1772) adapter will not work.
However, you can buy a "Type1 to Type2". cable to plug a HK spec Model S into a Type 1 (J1772) charging station.
