The A2Z Typhoon ships for ~ $200, so this move will probably cost Ford around $27 million.
I suggest not buying any adapter unless it's been endorsed by your vehicle manufacturer. A2Z claims they're working with OEMs, but haven't said which ones.
Props to Tesla for adopting the CCS1 signalling protocol. Adapters would be more expensive if they required a microcontroller.
- cpitman 3y agoSince they have identical signaling, why would you avoid a non approved adapter?
- MBCook 3y agoNot the parent. You could be passing 150kW or more through an adapter. I think it’s a very bad idea to risk your life/car/safety on a non-approved adapter.
- p1mrx 3y agoThe charging networks are "banning" them: https://insideevs.com/news/682634/electrify-america-evgo-ban-adapters/ https://insideevs.com/news/682634/electrify-america-evgo-ban... So if anything goes wrong, you're probably in a worse position from a liability/compensation standpoint.
- cduzz 3y agoThe L3 EV charging setup dumps 200-900 volt at up to 100 amps into the car. People charge their car in the rain. I don't want an adapter that makes Big Clive say "oh, that's even better. That's very interesting."
- theluketaylor 3y agoThe CCS spec allows for 500A and 1000V, so even more. Tesla gets around their 400V battery by using 620A+
