FISKER OCEAN ONE - TESLA TO J1772 ADAPTERS

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth review of two EVbase Tesla to J1772 adapters, a larger 60A model and a more compact 80A version, specifically for use with the Fisker Ocean One. The reviewer details the unboxing, build quality, and physical differences between the adapters, noting the 80A compact unit's smaller size and slightly higher amperage output. A significant portion of the review is dedicated to testing these adapters with Tesla Mobile Connectors (Gen 1 and Gen 2) on the Fisker Ocean. While the adapters themselves performed well, running cool and within expected temperature ranges, the reviewer encountered a recurring issue: a delay in the Fisker Ocean recognizing and initiating charging from Tesla's AC charging equipment. This communication delay, ranging from 10 to 35 minutes, is attributed to a software issue between the Fisker and Tesla systems, not the adapters themselves. Despite this, the reviewer concludes that both adapters are suitable for AC charging at destination chargers and mobile connectors, with the compact 80A unit being a slight favorite due to its size. The reviewer highlights the adapters' utility for long trips and topping up while away from home, emphasizing that the Fisker Ocean's current 32A AC charging limit makes either adapter's higher capacity capacity overkill.
