Setec CCS to Tesla Adapter

211kW using the CCS adapter? Wow!
That must be a 2021+ Model S/X because of the higher voltage. (Which is why the kW rate is so high.)
I find this very interesting because the article from drive Tesla Canada showing the Tesla ccs 1 adapter, given the SOC of the car, seemed to be current limited whereas this appears to take 500A which is at or near the limit of the 350 kW chargers IIRC. Hopefully we will know more soon, but the thought that I can get v2+ (180 kW for a M3) speeds in many areas that only have v2 SuCs is very exciting. It could be that early on you get better speeds and at better cost using EA 350 kW chargers that still do /min pricing vs a v2 SuC.

500A !!!
Isn't the Setec only rated for 200A? I would be highly concerned about melting the adapter at those levels of current...
I added temperature monitoring and a safety system to mine. No one should just hard wire theirs without doing so. It gets barely warm on the ccs side and slightly warm on the Tesla side. The short cables are rated high enough to handle this.

Interesting.
One has to wonder if the (modified) Setec adapter can take more current than the official CCS adapter or Tesla is just limiting the official CCS adapter to 300A for whatever reason.
The Tesla adapter is completely passive, so there is no way for the car to know if you are using the Tesla adapter or some third-party one.

Note the CCS2 adapter had a written limit of 410VDC and 210A, but tests show it charging at 368A, so the written limit may not necessarily be the real world limit.

Likely Tesla hasn't capped the 2021 Model S firmware CCS current to 300A since the 2021 S isn't in Korea yet. This might be one reason they havn't released it here so far, and possibly also why the Korean site warns against using it on >300A chargers even though it works fine on Model 3/Y over there (I.E. if someone imported a grey market North American 2021 S that doesn't have the limit yet).

I understand that.
What I am wondering is if the official CCS adapter is capable of more than 300A if the car isn't locked down by firmware.
It is labeled 500V 300A
But as it's completely passive it's up to the car or the charger to limit it
I’ve had almost no hiccups, other than one bad pedestal. I went into this thinking it would be a novel alternative, but now I’m using a mix of EA and V3 supercharging and it is amazing. Huge gaps in the v3 network where I can use EA and charge much faster.

Maybe since they did it in Europe.

More data for the curious. This is a screenshot from my logs of the longest charge I did at an Electrify America station.
