Updated Lectron Super Charger Adapter With New Instructions
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 тра 2024
- In this video we test the updated Lectron Super Charger Adapter on our Rivian R1T. If you recall in our previous video the adapter had a defective locking mechanism which allowed the super charger cable to be removed without holding down the safety release. This happened due to an issue with one of Lectron suppliers. Lectron promptly acted to make this right with its customer and set out replacement super charger adapters. This video has a test as well as specific instructions from Lectron on the proper procedure to use the Lectron Super Charger Adapter to charge your non tesla vehicle at compatible Tesla Super Charger locations. Join us for some testing fun and watch until the end for a blooper reel!
Official Statement from Lectron regarding the defective adapters:
Lectron is committed to ensuring that our adapters meet the highest quality standards and are UL2252 compliant. To address and prevent any potential issues, we have implemented additional insertion and removal force testing in our production line.

This looks absolutely promising, a lot of adapters out there simply don't live out to the hype. This demo proves that the Lectron supercharger is the real deal. Thank you for this video
I like Lectron because they are well known and have great customer service. Lectron products are also available at retail channels as well like home depot which means the product have been vetted. Lectron also built their adapter to comply with the draft UL2252 which is the upcoming standard for this type of equipment.
Nice Job on the demo. I have my updated Lectron Super Charger Adapter ready to use. Just waiting on GM.
Looks great!
First off, great video and funny blooper real lol. I too got one of the defective Lectron Vortex adapters back in March, with the defective locking mechanism. I contacted Lectron via email, they responded quickly apologizing for the issue, the inconvenience, and sent me a prepaid return label via email. I got my replacement adapter within 5 business days. The locking mechanism and new adapter works great, Lectron even reached out to me to make sure the new adapter was working properly and that I was satisfied with the product.
One thing you forgot to do in your video was demonstrate that your new adapter's locking mechanism locks the Tesla charging handle into the Lectron Vortex adapter properly so that it can't be removed without depressing the unlock switch.
Great glad they got your adapter replaced quickly. Yes I like that Lectron has great CS. Your right I didn't specifically show that...but...in part where I removed it I had to try twice and in the blooper reel it was locked in there like fort knox 😁
Thank you for sharing this information!
I hope everyone knows that only the Superchargers with the thin liquid cooled charging stations can be used as those are the higher power stations. Tesla also has some new style charging pedestals with longer charging cables to reach most brands of electric vehicles and maybe some pull through areas for trailer towing electric vehicles.
This is first time that I’ve watched your channel so please forgive me if you have covered all of these issues already.
Great point! Yes, V3 and V4 superchargers only. One can find compatible chargers by visiting tesla.com/findus and deselecting all options except "chargers open to NACS". I am also going to put this in the description as well. I hope most of the current NACS stations will be converted to V4 pedestals because the V3 require non tesla vehicles like Rivian and Ford to take up two spots. Thanks for stopping by!
Does this work on any CCS car and any supercharger station?
Great question. I'm told it will work on any CCS car but only Rivian and Ford are currently able to plug and charge. Officially only Rivian and Ford and I haven't tested a different make CCS-1 vehicle so I can't guarantee it will work on other makes. Other makes will have to activate a session through the Tesla app. It will only work at stations designated as being open to NACS. Tesla.com/findus and filter only for Open to NACS.
@@ElectrifiedOutdoors hmm if you happen to live near the triad in North Carolina I’d let you try it on my EV6 lol
I am in Maryland if your ever up this way give me a shout via my website/email. The EV6 is 800v so that would be an interesting test. The only 800v Tesla ATM is the Cyber Truck.
Make sure to let tesla know when your non-tesla adapter gets fried to the tesla connector. Just sayin
I cancelled my order with this terrible company. No communication about updates on my order which I never received after 8 weeks since placing the order
I am sorry for your experience.
Try the A2Z adapter, it comes with a padded storage container
I haven't had a chance to try their adapter. I think they are all hard to come by right now but that will change eventually. Lectron told me they intend to have all back ordered filled in the next couple of weeks.
@@ElectrifiedOutdoors they have been saying that for weeks. Don’t hold your breath
I hear ya. The checks is in the mail, I won't.... I digress 😂
