I recently received my official Ford (Tesla) NACS>CCS1 charging adapter. Since I already have an A2Z Typhoon Pro (and I like it), I am going to sell the Ford adapter. This NACS>CCS1 adapter has never been used - heck, the only time it has been out of the packaging was to photograph it for this...

On my most recent trip from West Fork, Arkansas to Landers, California (via Santa Fe, New Mexico in late May 2023), I covered about 1575 miles. I stopped 11 times to charge, not including overnight charging at a hotel in Albuquerque, and a convenience stop at the last DC fast charger before...

If you are cruising through Middle America on I-40 (or going north/south on I-30) and need a charging stop, skip the EA stations and go to Franklin's Charging in Little Rock (also in Hot Springs): https://franklinscharging.com/ This is a vision of how EV charging should work that deserves...
