Which Tesla Supercharger Adapter Should You Buy? Tesla vs Lectron vs A2Z

last year Jim Farley shocked the automotive industry by announcing Ford was going to transition its electric vehicles from the current charging standards of ccs1 and j1772 to the Tesla connector or the North American charging standard now shortly after that the rest of the industry followed they really had to because it's a better solution and Ford would have a huge competitive Advantage if the other companies didn't join okay so they all agreed we're going to switch over and coales around this one single connector which was going to be good for the industry uh but it takes a few years for companies to make this kind of change so most of the companies announced that starting in 2025 they were going to begin to transition their electric vehicles to have native KNX inlets however customers don't want to wait until 20125 or 2026 to be able to have access to Tesla superchargers which also came with this deal and in order to do so adapters would have to be made now if you follow this channel you've seen I've already reviewed the three most popular KNX to ccs1 adapters that are on the market today the Tesla adapter the a toz adapter and the electron adapter and in those reviews I promis to do a follow-up comparison video comparing the three that's what we're going to do here today we're going to take a close look at all three ad adapters and maybe help you decide which KNX to ccs1 adapter you're going to [Music] use okay so I said that the entire industry here in North America is going to be transitioning to the KNX connector and it's going to begin to be installed natively on the vehicles in a year or two so in the interim we need to use adapters if the vehicles want to be able to access Tesla superchargers and everybody wants to have access to Tesla superchargers but it's not a matter of just getting an adapter and you can just plug your vehicle in uh the companies individually have to work out the back-end software communication with Tesla and so far Ford was the first company to have that done rivan followed So currently Ford and rivan vehicles have access to the Tesla Supercharger Network as long as they have the adapter but they're the only two companies currently that can access Tesla superchargers that's going to change general motor from what I understand is next and it should happen within a month or so um I believe it probably was delayed by the fact that Tesla had these massive layoffs recently and the entire or most of the supercharger team 500 people or so were laid off at Tesla and that left a big void uh some of these oems that were working with Tesla on getting all the software done so they can have access were left without counterparts to talk to and I know that as a fact because some of the companies uh called me and we spoke about this so I'm not speculating here um but in any event it seems as though GM's back on track I believe and we'll have it done uh within the month or so so I'm thinking sometime in in in uh June or July of this year GM vehicles should have access and uh then the with an adapter they can use it I don't know what the timeline's going to be for the other companies certainly the layoffs of Tesla has delayed this for most of the OE of OEM so it was really good on Ford and rivan for getting this done before this happened not that they knew it was happening but um they really lucked out getting everything done and finalized before Tesla had this big uh cut back and and layoffs okay so Ford and rivan are the only two companies that currently have access to the supercharger network with an adapter and both of those companies along with Tesla put out statement saying that they only want their customers to use the authorized adap or an adapter that is sold through an oem currently only the Tesla adapter and this is the adapter that's made by Tesla these two are the Tesla adapter these three are the a toz adapters and these three here are the electron adapters so Tesla and the only two companies that have access to the network right now are saying this is the only adapter we want you to use if you use anything else you you know you're liable if there's a problem if your car has some sort of an issue if the charging station has some of an issue if somebody gets hurt we don't want any part of it and I understand why they did that because there are a lot of really lowquality adapters on the market today not necessarily The Knack to ccs1 but there's all different charging adapters out there and many of them are made very poorly and they're unsafe so I think it was just a fallback for the industry to say you know what Tesla made this one we know it's safe this is the only one we want you to use now there's currently no certification for adapters electric vehicle charging adapters UL certification or ETL um and that's really what most people use for electronics to decide if it's safe or not is it safety certified that's we talk about that a lot with electric vehicle Chargers if they're not safety certified I never recommend them but with the adapters none of them are safety certified not even the Tesla ones so it's hard to say which one's better than the other one however UL is coming out with a new certification UL 225 to it's called and that's specifically made for electric vehicle charging adapters and um I happen to know that both the adaz and electron have been submitted to UL for approval and um I know at least adz for certain had told me they're hopeful to get that pretty soon and they're confident that it's going to be uh passed because they designed it to meet UL standards and I have a feeling at least that once there are safety certified adapter let's say the electron and the a toz both get UL certified I have a feeling that the oems are going to lighten up a little bit on their statement saying only use the uh uh one that you got through your uh OEM or the Tesla one uh because once they're safety certified once there's a UL stamp on it I think it's pretty uh you know apparent that the unit is safe so we're thinking that once this uh UL 2252 is finally formalized and the adapters get you all certification we believe that most of the automakers are going to say look um you have to use a safety certified adapter we'll see what happens once that happens but I think we're only a couple months away from getting the first batch of UL uh certified adapters uh certified so we'll see what happens when that happens but for now I just wanted to be clear Ford rivan and Tesla are telling you this is the only adapter we want you to use so then why doesn't everybody just buy this adapter and not worry about you know whether it's safe or not well it's because Tesla cannot make these fast enough and um companies like Ford and rivan are actually giving them to all of their customers for free uh GM which I mentioned earlier is probably going to have the uh next be the next company to have access they're charging $25 uh I think 25 or $26 so I think basically the the dealership is is is charging you for shipping to ship to ship the adapter to you but they're basically giving you the adopter for free so um think about the volume of adopters that are needed and that's not even counting if Tesla wants to put this on their website to sell like they sell other charging adapters and uh the fact that they can't put them out fast enough customers rivan customers Ford customers that already have access the companies are telling them it's going to be many months before we can ship you out an adapter people don't want to wait so they're looking on the internet for third-party adapters and they're saying I know the companies are telling us we shouldn't be using these but um I want I want access I need it for a road trip and it's going to make my life so much easier to have supercharger access and that's why I decided to review these and specifically chose a toz and electron because I have a uh a history with these companies they they make high quality Equipment and charging adapters that I've used in the past uh and that's the reason why I chose the there's other companies out there but um honestly I'm not even going to waste my time with them because I've seen some of the other products they make and um I'm not impressed that said electron already had one recoil so um but we'll talk about that a little bit later uh okay so these are the three main adapters and the three that I reviewed let's take a look at the key features of all three of them compared side by side okay first up is the cost we don't know what Tesla is going to charge for this because it's not available yet but on their website they sell the opposite of this the ccs1 to KNX these are Max to ccs1 and they sell that adapter for $250 so it gives us a good idea of where Tesla might be when this actually ends up on their online store a toz charges $197 for this and currently I have a coupon code that can get you 10% off if you're interested in buying the a toz the electron Vortex basically the same price as the a toz to $199 next up the voltage and amperage all three adapters are rated for 1,000 volt 500 amps the peak amperage on the Tesla uh adapter is unknown I don't know it uh unfortunately my contacts at Tesla in the charging division were getting me these answers because I asked him a bunch of questions about this adapter I actually emailed them 3 days before the layoffs and uh three of the four guys I know got laid off I still have one connection there but he's kind of overwhelmed with work and uh he did say he was going to get back to me but I haven't heard yet I know the uh a toz typhoon and I've seen all of their engineering reports and charts it has a peak amperage of 689 amps the electron Vortex very close 680 amps as the peak amperage the IP rating all three adapter have an IP67 rating I want to point out one thing though when I did the a toz adapter review I said it has an IP 54 rating and I was mistaken and that was because there's two different IP ratings The there's a rating for the outer shell the outer casing and then there's also a rating for the connections where the connectors actually go into the adapter in that the 8z has an IP 54 rating but uh what I'm talking here is the outer casing and they're all the same IP67 Dimension wise the Tesla is 5 in x 3.93 in x 2.5 in the a toz typhoon adapter is really close to the Tesla adapter they're almost exactly the same size if you put them next to each other you almost can't tell the difference that's 5 in by 4 and 1/4 in by 2.75 in and the electron Vortex adapter is bigger it's the biggest and heaviest adapter of all three it's 7 in Long by 4.2 in by 2.7 in okay weightwise the uh Tesla and the adz adapters weight almost the same the Tesla's 1 lb 11.3 o the typhoon is 1 lb 11.4 Oz and the electron Vortex adapter is 2 lb 2 2.1 oz so it's significantly bigger and heavier okay the operating temperatures for all three are the same 122° to 22° fah and this is the ambient operating temperature not the temperature of the unit itself okay the number of internal temperature sensors both the Tesla adapter and the adz typhoon adapter have two internal temperature sensors the electron Vortex actually has one more it has three okay for the locking mechanism the KNX End Lock is automatic on the Tesla it's manual on the a toz you actually have to slide a little lock to lock it and the adapter won't work unless you do slide that and the electron Vortex is automatic the ccs1 side all three adapters are automatic locks as soon as you push them into the car the tab automatically locks okay next up is temperature change and this is my own testing I I charged my EVS from 10% to8 80% and I measured the external temperature surface temperatures of the adapters now the only thing here is the the ambient temperature was different in all three so this isn't the perfect comparison but I just wanted to see how well they heated up in the future I think I'm going to try to do them all in the exact same or very similar ambient temperatures okay the Tesla OEM adapter started off at 52.5 De F and it ended at 78° F the adz typhoon started off at 65° F and it finished at 105° F and the electron Vortex adapter surface temperature was 76° when I started and it finished off at 91° okay AC capable can any of these adapters also work on AC Chargers let's say like you roll up to a Tesla destination charger which is AC it has the same connector will they work no none of them will work and you actually don't want them to work I know people say oh I would love to have one adapter for everything but there's safety reasons why that's not good uh and it could um potentially lead to somebody getting shocked it's just not a good idea to engineer the adapter to work on both warrantywise the uh Tesla adapter has a one-year warrantee now I haven't 100% confirmed this but if you go on Tesla's website it says that their Chargers their charging equipment has 4year warranties but their adapters that they sell have one-year warranties so I'm assuming that when this ends up in the store it's going to have a one-year warranty as all of their other charging adapters do the adz typhoon adapter has a 1-year warranty and the electron Vortex has a 2-year warranty K Country of manufacturer the Tesla OEM adapter is made in the US the a toz adapter is made in China and the electron Vortex adapter is also made in China state of charge is powered by CIT after I've helped you decide which electric vehicle charges equipment you're going to buy Follow the link in the description of my videos and let the EV charging installation professionals at C Merit install it okay so before I talk about each individual adapter I want to Circle back to the whole safety thing I know a lot of people are concerned about using non-approved adapters so I did reach out to the CEOs of all three companies a toz electron and Tesla uh you might be surprised to hear that Elon didn't respond so I don't have any uh comment from him on this and uh can't imagine why right does a guy know who I am but in any event uh both uh a toz and electron did respond and uh give us their position on this so let's take a look at what the CEOs had to say first up we'll uh look at what Amin Zur the CEO of a toz adapters told me we fully understand and respect the position taken by various OEM regarding the utilization of third party adapters given the availability of dangerous adapters in the market that compromise safety it's unfortunate but true that many adapter manufacturers compromise on quality using inferior materials and conductors and neglecting essential safety features such as temperature sensor switches there have been numerous instances where inexpensive adaptors found on platforms like Amazon have been discovered lacking in temperature sensors or with low voltage wires inappropriately exposed near high voltage DC bus bars our next to ccs1 adapter however stands as a demonstration to safety and reliability we based our different tests in accordance with standards such as SAE j1772 d202 UL 2251 IEC 621 963 and the North American charging standard TS 00 23666 during its development we diligently adhere to the guidelines of the UL 2252 outline ensuring our adherence to its preliminary requirements in anticipation of its official release once UL 2252 is formally introduced we are committed to certifying our products accordingly we applied and became a member of the SAE committee which oversees standards such as j34 to guarantee our compliance with the safety and Industry standards set by dedicated individuals and organizations we want to assure our customers of our ongoing commitment to collaborate closely with oems to demonstrate the safety and reliability of our products our aim is to ensure the security of their customers and installations while we would prefer prompt resolutions the reality is that these processes are timeconsuming involving numerous stakeholders nonetheless we are dedicated to this cause and we will continue to strive for the quickest and most efficient outcomes possible and then I have electron's statement on non-approved adapters at lecron we prioritize safety and functionality and have gone above and beyond to ensure our nexx tos1 adapter meet standards required by both Tesla and major automakers our commitment to safe and reliable charging experience is evident from our proven track record in facilitating access to Tesla's charging infrastructure with our Tesla to j1772 adapter in developing the vortex plug nexx to ccs1 adapter electron has collaborated with oems to ensure compatibility rigorously tested with industry leading lab UL Solutions complied with UL 2252 and sa aj3400 guidelines and standards electron mission is clear to provide EV drivers with safe reliable charging solutions that eliminate compatibility barriers and meet the highest industry standards okay so let's take a look at each individual adapter first up the Tesla adapter the interesting thing about this is and not that it feels poorly made but comparing it to the other two adapters it actually feels the least say robustly built um which I I wouldn't have expected uh you know coming into this the uh a toz and electron both actually feel like they're uh made of thicker plastic and uh better construction than the Tesla adapter now that's just how they feel I'm not saying that uh it's it's not made strongly and uh I think that's probably because there's a plastic outer casing around the adapter and that's a little flimsy it's not quite as thick as the outer casing on the a toz or the electron but then there's an interc casing so it kind of has two layers of protection so that that could be a positive but um uh the outer casing for instance has gaps where you could see inside it so it's definitely not uh you know water resistant the outer casing along this this Leading Edge here I can look and see through it uh but I'm sure the inner casing has uh is is completely so it's almost like the AZ adapter which is nearly the same exact size as the Tesla adapter it's almost as if they took one of these and then put additional plastic casing around it um so that outer casing isn't quite as sturdy as what you get the outer casing on the other two that's just one uh observation uh I'm also as I mentioned not in love with the uh release uh switch for The Knack side when you have the Knack connector in it it's easier to just grab like let's say the electron I like that switch the best actually you just grab it and squeeze it and you pull the uh the connector out but the Tesla adapter you've got to kind of reach in here and push it down and then pop the uh uh adapter out it's kind of like an awkward position for me at least it's like you have to pull it in and push it like this it'd be much easier if you just grabbed it and squeezed it I don't like the ergonomics of it but that that's nitpicking but that's what we do here uh another thing thing you have to be concerned about with this adapter uh is uh availability you can't really buy it right now uh they're only being shipped to Ford and rivan owners that get it for free Tesla's entire production is just going to satisfy Ford and rivian and now within a few weeks Chevrolet is going to have uh the uh their vehicles open to the Tesla Supercharger Network that's at least what we expect it to be within a few weeks that's kind of what we've been hearing uh and uh they're going to be shipping these out to their customers for a small fee it's like $25 $26 so now Tesla's going to have to provide them to Chevrolet so these things aren't even listed on the Tesla website so you can't buy it so it's it's not available and that's a problem we also really don't know what the final price is going to be I'm guessing it's going to be in the $250 range because that's what Tesla's uh ccs1 to NAX uh adapt sells for and it's basically the same thing except um the opposite so you're figuring somewhere around $250 which is a little bit more than what a toz and electron is selling their adapters for uh but you would expect that from from Tesla it's got the name and uh it is again the one adapter that's approved for use so they can get a little bit of a premium for it and it wouldn't be a problem if it was available but it is not available you can't buy one and there's no real clear uh runway for when it's going to be available so if you don't want to wait for your OEM to ship you one you've got to get a a second third party adapter and uh next we'll take a look at the a toz so the a toz I'm a big fan of of this adapter uh it's it feels extremely well made I mean it feels in my hand heavier than the uh Tesla adapter but it really isn't they're about the same weight um maybe cuz doesn't have that that thinner outer plastic casing but this thing feels like it's really well made uh and uh you know the the the ccs1 switch is really strong it's got a nice spring in it the uh KNX switch is the one thing that I don't like cuz as I mentioned you've got to lock this manually and when you put the KNX connector in you have to pull the switch towards you to lock it to the adapter if you don't do that power won't flow through a couple of times I've actually uh connected it and forgot to lock it and then it's not charging and I'm thinking oh wow is there a problem with the adapter and I know this stuff and I forgot so I'm sure it's going to get other people this switch should be automatic as it is on the other two adapters when you um simply by putting it into the adapter it locks same thing with the electron adapter see I'm fumbling to get the Tesla one out really don't like that disconnect I wish that a toz had uh a a a switch here that you grabbed and squeezed like the electron to release the uh KNX connector I think that's a much better design than what they have but it works I haven't really had uh any of my followers report that they're having trouble with it it's just the manual step it should be automatic in my opinion other Ops a I have about the A to Z if you notice when I discussed the surface temperature during my 10% to 80% charging sessions the adz adapter had the highest gain in temperature was 40° warmer when I finished the charging session than when it started the Tesla adapter gained 25° and the electron adapter gained only 15° but I did talk to aan Zur ad dise CEO about this and he explained that the adapter is specifically designed that way it has a insulation that's designed to draw the heat from out the inside of the adapter out and uh that makes sense you don't want to trap that heat inside uh but again I'm not an engineer and I don't know if it's a better design than what the other two adapters do it certainly does get the surface temperature warmer than the other two adapters and uh I've been using this quite a bit now uh and I've used it recent recently when it was in warmer temperatures close to 90° fah and uh the surface temperature got up to about 109° a little bit warmer than it did when I did my 10 to 80% charge recording but still nowhere's near the surface temperature limits by UL 2252 I actually have a copy of the UL 2252 uh specifications and they call for and this is a non-metallic adapter it's plastic so um the exterior surface temperature is supposed to always remain under 140° so I was through all my testing uh at least 38° cooler than what UL 2252 surface temperature is and uh uh again I spoke with uh the CEO of the company he said even if this adapter is being used in extraordinarily warm climate over 100° fah uh it's still not going to approach the 140° limit that UL 2252 set for surface temperatures for adapters uh so that um shouldn't be a problem at all and whether or not the fact that it's designed to allow the heat to uh release I can't speak to that seems like it Mak sense you don't want the heat trapped inside the adapter and you don't want connections and everything to overheat so you would want it to uh escape and get out uh so seems like it makes sense to me but again I'm not uh an engineer on that I don't do I'm not a tear down specialist but uh the adapter worked fine for me I've used it a ton of times I even loaned it out to a couple of friends so they could use it on road trips and they actually really liked it and said that uh you know they would absolutely buy one uh you know they don't feel like it's unsafe or anything like that which I certainly don't I wouldn't be to here talking about these if I thought uh they were unsafe okay so now let's talk about the electron adapter and we have to get the recoil out of the way up up up front so The Recoil on this adapter was because some of the adapters that would made that were made see the the KNX connector is locked to the adapter now and what happens is you're not supposed to be able to remove this unless you press the switch below which is the unlock switch and now you can pull it out however some of these adapters including this one one here were made not to electron specifications their contract manufacturer actually um made the interior pin that's supposed to hold this to the connector just a smidge too short so you could do this that's not supposed to happen now under normal usage that should not create a problem but if somebody let's say tripped over the uh connector you could have a situation where the adapter uh gets disconnected from the connector really quickly and power is still flowing through it and uh you're going to get arcing you're going to have problems that's not a good thing to happen so electron uh recalled these uh units they went back to their contract manufacturer and they redesigned the Locking pin inside it well they didn't redesign it that's a wrong term they actually um made sure that the cont truck manufacturer was making it to the specifications that it was supposed to be evidently they were making it just a hair to shirt I don't even know if it was it might have been like half a millimeter but it was enough so that there wasn't enough of the pin holding the connector so you could pull it out so now they're making sure that it's to the right length and they also put a stronger spring here this uh the switch below where you the unlocking switch it's much stiffer than the first two that I have so I think it really holds that pin up in place and it can't be pulled out and now put it in see I can feel it hitting the pin and locking that's not coming out for anything but when I grab this uh the switch down here and Pull It Loose it comes loose however that's my adapter unfortunately I'm getting some Fe feedback from some of my followers that the replacement adapter that electron sent them has the opposite problem that the first one did the first adapter the ones that were recalled if you notice you could pull it out without releasing the tab some of the newer ones that are shipping now have the opposite problem you can't get the KNX connector out of the the adapter and I've had at least three or four of my followers tell me that um they're having a huge problem with it and a few of them were able to finally get it Loose uh and some of the other people that I I talked to reported that it was super tight but after using it a few times it loosened up but that's in some cases people cannot get the KNX connector uh removed from the adapter and uh I recently even saw a post on X by one of my followers uh Sky Malcolm that went to a Tesla Supercharger and found the uh supercharger connector laying on the ground with electron adapter attached to it so evidently the person that went there used it and then couldn't get it free and gave up and just left it there lying on the ground I don't know if this is a widespread problem but unfortunately it seems like electron hasn't fully resolve this issue it's all based around the connector and its ability to remain tethered or be released from the adapter as far as I know none of the innards none of the electronics or anything pose any sort of a problem and nobody's had any kind of an issue with it like you know melting or overheating or damaging a vehicle or I think all of that is fine it's just they can't get this connection solved and uh it's unfortunate because otherwise it's a really good adapter I mean it if it didn't have this problem it might be my top recommended adapter I'm not sure I really like the a toz it's a super solid unit but so is this this feels super really well made it it feels good in your hand it's got really good um ergonomics as far as the the release on the top and the ree release on the bottom uh it's a little big it's a little bulky it's it's a little heavy it's bigger and heavier than than the other two adapters but it actually seems like it's really well engineered and I talked to the people at electron extensively about it and they tell me that they like a toz designed this to uh comply with UL 2252 they were hoping as soon as UL 2252 was formalized they would submit it which they told me they've already submitted it to UL for full testing and they wanted to get this thing uh UL certified as as soon as it could be as ad toz is doing so this problem that they have with the The Knack side is uh definitely um not a good look for electron right now and uh I've used electron products for years I have many electron adapters and a few of their Chargers and uh for the most part I've been very satisfied with electron's uh equipment they've been doing this for a long time they have a full ecosystem of electric vehicle charging equipment extension cables uh Chargers adapters on the market they're not some little Fly by Night company and that's one of the reasons why I chose to uh uh review their adapter here because I I expected it to be quality and it feels like it is quality but they need to resolve this um hopefully uh it's going to get resolved soon because I'm sure it's um uh frustrating some of their customers okay so I'm going to cut into the video at this point because while I was recording this video I reached out to electron to comment on the fact that people were posting on X and other social media forums about the fact that they were getting their replacement electron Vortex plug and now instead of it pulling apart too easily they couldn't get it apart at all and this is the response that I got from electron okay regarding some of the feedback on X for the vortex plug at Tesla superchargers some customers have found the vortex plug difficult to disconnect at the KN end despite this less than 2% of units sold have required a replacement due to stiffness new production units have adjusted tolerances based on customer feedback so I assume that means that they're making it a little bit less tight um I'm not really 100% sure what tolerance was adjusted maybe the length of the pin inside or the uh diameter of the inlet that the KNX goes into okay variations in Tesla Supercharger tolerances wear and tear and different tooling contribute to the stiffness so I guess what they're saying there is that some of the KNX connectors themselves might be slightly larger than others and that's causing the issue users following the correct UL guideline order of operation shouldn't experience problems but for those that do we provide a free replacement immediately okay I think we know that some people did have that problem even though they were following the correct order that electron told them even when they tried to disconnect the KN connector first they still couldn't get the connector to remove from the electron adapter as noted in numerous EV forums other adapters like adz have experienced some tolerance issues it just so happens that we are more in the public eye I do appreciate the feedback from your community and you sharing this with us okay so so there is some information there but it also does seem like electron isn't um wholly owning the fact that uh there are issues with uh some of these replacement adapters okay one last thing before I cut back into the video electron also offered a 15% discount to my followers for 7 days after this video post so check out the posting date and if you're within s days you can get 15% off the electron Vortex adapter if you want one by using the coupon code state of charge you know hopefully they'll get that rectified soon uh but for now it's taking customers very long to get them I've had some of my followers tell me they uh they ordered it and it's been two months and they still don't have it yet now even a toz is starting to get backed up because uh I think they're benefiting from the fact that electron having problems people are are ordering a toz adapter instead of electron uh and they got a spike in deliveries recently and I talked to the CEO as I mentioned and he said that sales have been extremely uh robust and they fell a little bit behind too but uh I think that they're getting caught up now they're ramping up production and uh they're selling a lot of the adapters and if uh I still have an active discount code for the a toz adapter I had one for a while for electron but then that expired when they had their recoil uh and get another one in the future but for now uh if you use stateof charge with no spaces when you're ordering the a toz uh adapter you get 10% off so that's another $20 off and uh you know it makes it uh the most affordable adapter of the bunch and uh as far as I know so far they have had no problems with these they're all working fine and other than the little uh switch on the bottom that I don't love uh I can find no fault with it I think ad toz put out a good product I I I like electron uh adapter also except for these these issues they're having I hope that they get it resolved uh sometime soon and again I have nothing against the Tesla adapter it's a nice adapter um I don't love the ergonomics of this switch I probably wouldn't be my first choice to use uh based on that that now that there's there's other adapters and if say the electron and the a toz both get UL certification uh I probably would not use the Tesla adapter as my first choice I wouldn't not use it it's fine but if I had a choice between the three um you know probably that probably wouldn't be my first choice to to use only because I just I just don't love how it disconnects uh but for now you have to decide if you're going to wait for uh Tesla to ramp up production enough so you can get your Tesla adapter or if you're going to go with a thirdparty adapter I hope I gave some information here enough so that you can make an educated uh choice and decide which one of these adap raps you're going to get so that you can get that uh Magic unlock key for the Tesla Supercharger Network which everybody wants to use it's it's really liberating you know since my rivan and my Ford have access to the Tesla Supercharger Network it makes uh the few times I go on road trips I don't do road trips all that often but when I do it's so much easier now I don't have to worry about like searching for a charging station I know I'm going to between the CCS networks and now the V3 Tesla superchargers there's there's always a charger where where almost wherever I need it here in the Northeast at least I know the charging station locations vary around the country but where I drive basically is in New York New Jersey Connecticut Pennsylvania and then I go up the east coast to Vermont frequently uh there's there's so many charging stations it's it makes it super easy um but now having this Tesla Supercharger network with my adapters it's that much more easy um we're going to keep uh up with this subject hopefully I'll have some information soon on when Chevrolet is going to have access to the supercharger Network and uh information on their uh estimated time frame for uh getting their uh official Tesla adapter shipped out so far we have no information on that and as I said they're kind of third in the queue behind Ford and rivan owners getting their adapters so uh it's going to be a while uh for uh if you're a Chevrolet EV owner and you order your uh KNX uh adapter I think it's going to be many months before they start shipping them in any kind of numbers and that's what's driving people into these uh third party adapters listen if this is your first time here at state of charge please don't forget hit that subscribe button and ring the notification Bell so you don't miss any upcoming electric
