TESTING THE A2Z TYPHOON NACS ADAPTER ON A TESLA SUPERCHARGER

EV Channels Review

This video thoroughly tests the A2Z Typhoon NACS to CCS1 adapter, evaluating its functionality with a Ford Mach-E on a Tesla Supercharger. The reviewer confirms the adapter works, allowing charging to initiate and sustain at rates around 140-150 kW. A key focus is the adapter's temperature, with IR camera footage showing a warm spot, though not alarmingly hot, described as 'warm' rather than 'hot.' The reviewer notes the adapter's build quality, comparing its solid feel to the official Ford adapter. While acknowledging that neither Ford nor Tesla officially supports third-party adapters, the video provides a detailed look at the A2Z Typhoon's performance and physical characteristics. The reviewer concludes that it's a viable option for Ford EV owners awaiting their official adapter, especially given potential delays, but emphasizes that the vehicle must also have the necessary software update to access Tesla Superchargers. The adapter's ease of use, particularly its one-handed removal capability compared to the official adapter, is highlighted as a significant advantage.
