EV Channels Review
The reviewer tested a Hugner NACS to CCS adapter with a Ford F-150 Lightning, experiencing two failures during charging. While the adapter initially performed well, hitting expected peak charging speeds and handling the 500A boost, it failed twice, potentially due to thermal limits as temperatures approached 120°F. A significant safety concern identified was the lack of a proper interlock switch to prevent disconnection of the charging handle while live, a feature present in OEM adapters. The reviewer found the adapter's protective covers cumbersome and ultimately difficult to recommend due to its unreliability and safety concerns, highlighting the critical need for real-world testing of such accessories.
