MO: Just received my CCS from SK

[TaIIgeese]

Just got this in the mail today! I am going to hit the nearby Electrify America and ChargePoint chargers and test it out soon.

 

[LoudMusic]

Neat - looking forward to your field trip report.

 

[TaIIgeese]

Both Electrify America and ChargePoint chargers worked well with the CCS adapter. This was more about testing if I could charge, and not so much about charging performance. The ChargePoint charger maxes out at 62.5KW, the Electrify America had 150kW and 350kW chargers available. I might go back sometime with a near empty battery to test charging performance with the Electrify America chargers.

Is there also a Supercharger nearby you could set to navigate to in order to trick the car into preconditioning the battery? Getting to about 10% and a good and warm battery could really test the adapter.

 

[TaIIgeese]

Yeah, we have a couple stations here in town. I will trick the car into pre-conditioning before I hit the CCS charger. Since the CCS adapter maxes out around 150kW there shouldn't be any difference using the 150kW or 350kW charger right?

 

[LoudMusic]

Shouldn't be ... but I'd trust the 350kw to have a better possibility of getting to 150kw based on the hardware.

Just saw someone on Youtube getting 170kW+ with the adapter at an Electrify America 350kW station.

I live in the Columbia area as well. How did you order your adapter? I was thinking about going through Harumio out of SK.

4/17 - Ordered from Tesla
4/29 - Received adapter from package forwarding company.

Would have received it faster but the package was put in the lost and found at the package forwarding company. I sent them the tracking number and they were able to locate the package and got it to me quickly.

I ordered it from the Tesla SK site myself and had it shipped to kr2me. Their site isn't great, but I thought their customer service was nice and shipping was fast.

What kind of payment did you use?

 

[TaIIgeese]

I used my credit card. For some reason Tesla's site wouldn't take my credit card as entered in my account. I ended up re-adding it during the checkout process and I was able to checkout.

Finally got my battery low enough to hit the 350kW Electrify America charger with the CCS adapter. The charger was about 30 miles away, before I left the house I set the nav to a nearby Supercharger so the car would pre-condition the battery. When I arrived at the charger the battery was at 9%. I charged at the 350kW charger for 10 minutes and received 28kWh, which put me at 42%. Charging peaked at 185kW, as it got closer to 42% charge speed was down to 150kW. The charge report from Electrify America states the max charging speed was 192kW. I never saw the car report over 185kW though, unless I missed it after plugging the car in and getting in.

Overall I am very happy with this CCS adapter.

… The charge report from Electrify America states the max charging speed was 192kW. I never saw the car report over 185kW though, unless I missed it after plugging the car in and getting in.

Impressive that you can get over 150kw at all. I bet the difference between the 192 and the 185 is charging loss

 

[ElectricIAC]

There should be about 4-7KW in charging losses

Is it a Visa, Master Card, or American Express?

I forgot about charging loss, thanks.
