MY TESLA USING A CCS ADAPTER CHALLENGES 10-80% V3 SUPERCHARGER TIMES

EV Channels Review

Dave from Out of Spec Dave tests Tesla's new CCS adapter, finding it a compelling alternative to Tesla's own Supercharger network. While not universally faster than V3 Superchargers, the adapter delivered impressive charging speeds, with one session achieving 10-80% in 29 minutes, outperforming some of his V3 tests. He highlights the adapter's value for comparison shopping charging costs and its ability to bypass the limitations of V2 Superchargers, particularly when they are 'force split.' Dave notes the adapter's compact design and reliance on the car's onboard ECU for functionality, making it a more affordable option than previous third-party adapters. The review concludes that the CCS adapter offers valuable 'optionality' for Tesla owners, providing flexibility and potentially faster charging in certain scenarios, especially when V2 Superchargers are congested or unavailable.
