Anyone tried one of the tesla chargers with the ccs adapter yet? Don't see any around here but super curious if it will work. Saw the mkhb youtube video with a rivian and an f150.

If I understand that Rivian video, he was not using a Supercharger, but rather, one of the new billable Tesla Level 2 chargers, at a Tesla station that also has Superchargers.

I've used the Tesla tap to charge my Livewire, and I have the Tesla app configured with my account info - but I have not yet stopped at one of the billable Tesla Level 2 chargers.

I think the numbers he displays on the Rivian have to the be super charger speed. Did you get only L1 speed?

 

[Phaedrus]

Using Tesla L2, I get exactly the same charging speed as with the LW1 L1 charger.

The Rivian youtube video I saw, talked about using a billable Tesla L2, located at a Tesla charging station that also had Superchargers.

You sure? His charging speeds were quite high? I mean this must be about dc otherwise why the full ccs connector?

I am sure. I've data logged multiple L1, L2, and Tesla L2 charging sessions. Same charge rate on all.

Maybe you saw something different than me. But the Rivian video I saw was about using a billable Tesla L2, that happened to be at a station that also had superchargers.

I am not asking about your numbers. OK I will look again. High L2 is of no use.

I think I found your video about charging non-Tesla on a Supercharger. This video talks about select U.S. sites being opened up.

Looking at my Tesla app, it looks like their are several public Tesla supercharger locations now open in upstate NY. And also some spots in San Francisco.

It looks like the non-Tesla adapter is available at the charger, for sites where Tesla has opened to non-Tesla vehicles.

Yes that was the video.

 

[Travesty]

There are a ton of videos about this blowing up youtube right now I haven't seen one with a LW yet though. I'm sure it will come soon though. Good chance one will come from "Freedom is Everything" channel.

Right Jack's son has one and is in the bay. I forget his handle on here. I am hoping to hear about how is son is finding the road 6's on the bike.

 

[Travesty]

I just checked his channel and there are two videos from 9 months and 5 months ago on tesla charging the LW. He has been waiting for this.

Tesla announces Supercharger prices and availability for other electric cars but warns of a slower experience. One nice thing we won't piss people off with parking issues.

It works just fine here in Norway at least! I have fast charged my Live Wire several times last year at Tesla Superchargers and it worked very well. The good thing is also that the Tesla superchargers are more friendly priced than the alternatives.

 

[Travesty]

Thanks for the info.

I don't think they are the same devices. They don't require adapters right? Don't tesla's use the ccs system there?

Yes, you’re right about that. All the Tesla chargers have ccs equipped here. Either in combination with type 2 plugs or the newest ones with ccs only. So I can plug my bike directly into a ccs charger.

 

[Phaedrus]

The open-to-non-Tesla, Tesla superchargers in the U.S. pilot have a magic dock CCS plug.

Right and given the software issues there is no way to know till someone plugs in and it works.
