TESLA SUPERCHARGER ADAPTER REVIEW: THE A2Z TYPHOON PRO

EV Channels Review

The A2Z Typhoon Pro adapter represents a significant upgrade over its predecessor, addressing key user concerns with an improved locking mechanism and enhanced durability. The reviewer highlights the new single-button release for both CCS1 and NACS connectors, a welcome change from the previous manual switch. The addition of a protective cover for the locking tab is a crucial improvement, mitigating the risk of damage from accidental drops, a common concern given the adapter's substantial weight. Performance-wise, the Typhoon Pro delivered a peak charging rate of 170 kW with the F-150 Lightning, exceeding previous adapter tests and demonstrating its capability to handle high power without derating. While the adapter itself remained within safe temperature limits, the NACS connector experienced slightly higher temperatures. The reviewer finds the adapter to be a reliable and well-made option for non-Tesla EVs seeking access to the Supercharger network, especially for those who cannot wait for manufacturer-provided adapters.
