TESLA LATOUGH CCS1 + J1772 UNIVERSAL ADAPTER

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive unboxing and testing of the LaTough CCS1 + J1772 Universal Adapter. The reviewer highlights its unique dual functionality, serving as both an AC (J1772) and DC (CCS1) adapter in a single unit. Key advantages noted are the integrated locking mechanism, which prevents accidental disconnection at public charging stations, and the space-saving design compared to carrying two separate adapters. The reviewer conducted four tests: home J1772 charging, public J1772 charging, and DC fast charging at both 150 kW and 350 kW CCS stations. Performance was generally positive, with AC charging delivering expected rates and DC charging reaching up to 174 kW on the 350 kW station, though speeds taper off significantly after 80% state of charge. Temperature readings remained close to ambient, indicating good thermal management. The adapter is deemed a practical and valuable accessory for Tesla owners, particularly for those who frequently use public charging infrastructure.
