Tesla Mobile Charger Adapter for Pacifica Hybrid

[ag21]

I was using my 2017 Model S mobile charger (240v) just fine with a Lectron single piece adapter on our 2022 Pacifica. I recently upgraded to a used 2022 S that came with a newer mobile charger. First adapter and the “two piece” Lectron adapter both produced errors in the Pacifica and will not charge it. Will post pics tomorrow. Any advice? Trying to avoid 12v outlet charging on the Pacifica if we can.

Thanks!

Second one we tried:

Lectron Tesla to J1772 Adapter, Max 40A & 250V -

Just out of curiosity, why are you trying to avoid using the 12v on the Pacifica? 12v doesn't make sense for EVs, but for plug-in hybrids it seems like they're pretty much fine as an overnight option.

@redalf, just the length of time it takes (~10-12 hours) for max capacity of about 36 miles.

I don’t know if there’s a difference between the two versions of UMC, but I gather not all adapters contain the right circuitry to translate from Tesla’s data protocol to J1772.

Case in point: my neighbour got a cheapo adapter and it wouldn’t charge his Hyundai from my Gen2 wall charger unless I change the internal DIP switch to allow non-Tesla charging. I got a TeslaTap Mini, which claims to contain the appropriate circuitry, and it charges my Lucid just fine from the Tesla wall connector without messing with the DIP switches.

TLDR: Try a different adapter - I recommend the TeslaTap.

Wondering if OP has solved this issue. Also got a Lectron (the "one piece" sold on Amazon) and I got an external charging station error on my Pacifica. Looked into forums and some say Teslatap or Jdatper.

Been using the 12v overnight as another member (@redalf) suggested. Didn’t want to make another attempt for it to not work again.

Just in case anybody is interested, we got the Teslatap 40 amp and it works. Good ol' Made in the US of A.
