Tesla Ccs-chademo Adaptor For S

[TennisRat]

Looking for info re:CCS-CHAdeMO adaptor availability (USA) for my S. Several Walmart Supercenters offer Electrify America charging sites in Arkansas. No SC stations on I-40 in the state, thus always looking for charging opportunities going west.

I have the Tesla CHAdeMO adapter. Works great, except it's (relatively) slow at 50kW.

I don't think the CCS adapter works on older cars. Or even newer cars in the US yet.

I also have the J-1772 adaptor @ -+50 KW. The CCS-CHAdeMO is supposed to deliver up to 150KW - unable to find on Tesla web

There isn't one for the US market (yet).

"A Tesla spokesperson told us that they will make sure owners in North America will have access to all “compelling networks”, but they have nothing to announce now."

No--you're mixing some things up. The J1772 adapter is included with every car, but it is for level 2 AC charging. It can pass only about 19kW, but most cars don't have an onboard charger that can take that much. The 50kW you're probably thinking of is the limit with the adapter Tesla sells for CHAdeMO stations.

Yes, I've used my 1772 several times @about 18-19KW. I was thinking about reported CHAdeMO numbers whenI wrote this....I wasn't aware Tesla offered a domestic CHAdeMO adaptor. Thanks for the correction

Highest I got with chademo is 47, but the station is limited to 50

Thanks for all the replies re: CHAdeMO. Tesla offers this adaptor for $450 - not worth my money for the limited times I might need it.

That's because most of the 50kW chargers can only reach 50kW at 400v, and Tesla batteries charge at a lower voltage.
