LECTRON'S NACS TO CCS1 ADAPTER IS HERE AND I SPEAK TO THE CEO ABOUT IT

EV Channels Review

This video features an interview with Chris Maiwald, CEO of Lectron, discussing their new NACS to CCS1 adapter. The adapter is designed to allow non-Tesla EVs to charge at Tesla Superchargers. Key discussion points include the adapter's safety features, its compliance with the upcoming UL 2252 standard (currently undergoing UL testing), and its power handling capabilities (rated for 1000V, 500A). Maiwald emphasizes Lectron's commitment to safety, highlighting built-in overheating sensors and locking mechanisms. While Lectron is in discussions with OEMs for potential branding or approved programs, the adapter is currently a third-party solution. The interview also touches on the manufacturing location (China, with future Mexico production) and the adapter's inability to work with AC chargers. The reviewer notes the importance of safety certification and expresses anticipation for the adapter's UL listing, which will be a key factor in future recommendations.
