WISCONSEV - 2ND LONG CHARGE (19-80%) WITH THE AMPHENOL CERTIFIED ADAPTER - NACS TO CCS1 ADAPTER

EV Channels Review

This video documents a second attempt at a long DC fast charge (19-80%) for a Chevrolet Equinox EV using the Amphenol NACS to CCS1 adapter at a Kwik Charge station. Unlike the first attempt, which experienced interruptions, this charge proceeded much more smoothly, reaching a peak of 155kW and maintaining a consistent decline in power. The reviewer highlights the adapter's UL2252 certification and its successful use on a non-Tesla DCFC. While the charge curve is described as smooth, the reviewer notes discrepancies between the charging station's estimated time remaining and the car's estimate. The video emphasizes real-world charging experience rather than technical expertise, and the reviewer expresses satisfaction with the adapter's performance on this second try, especially compared to the previous issues. The significant import tariffs on the adapter are also noted as a considerable drawback.
