Behind The Scenes: Ford Fast Charging Adapter

[marc_hanna]

Also in Canada. Still no adapter. Ordered May 2024. My estimated delivery date has now been bumper to April, but I don't have any confidence in that estimate.

What’s the link to where you ordered. I can’t find any info on where I can order mine.

I can't find it. But I do recall it was hard to find originally. Ford Canada really likes to hide all the important information that affects vehicle ownership.

Try emailing adapters@fordcharging.ca . A human will actually reply to you.

I can't even navigate to my order status within my account. I can only access it through the link provided in my email. Once I navigate up one tier, I have to go back out to the email link again.

Wow very unorganized. I think it would have been better if they just created one website for the us/canada

Just like Amazon has separate websites, it's likely necessary in order to keep the taxation in its proper silo and not screw up the transfer pricing.

That makes sense.

If you bring this adapter in your carry-on for a flight TSA is going to flag your bag and search it.

Both times I went through it was flagged. I applaud TSA for catching something suspicious on the machine scan. Just think about what type of weapon/device it may look like. First time they swabbed it for explosives. Second time they just looked it over. Both times I explained what it was before/as they pulled it out of my bag.

On my trip I rented an EV and you never know what they will give you, so I took it with me in case I got something other than a Tesla that was compatible with Superchargers. Alas, I got a Model Y.

Currently unavailable.

Or, buy the one from A2Z. A2ZEV, a Canadian company, makes the Typhoon Pro adapter for Tesla SuperChargers. They also sell the Stellar adapter, which is for Tesla Destination chargers (such as hotels, private homes). They are currently shipping quickly. I have both adapters and have used both many times. They work great. Code FORDFORUM. https://a2zevshop.com/products/nacs-ccs1?ref=Typhoon&variant=43186507579592

I was not interested in "waiting" for an adapter, ordered the A2Z Typhoon Pro and got it the same week. free shipping in Canada, Done.
It is a very solid adapter, that works, and came in a nice zip up case.
It fits perfecly in the storage area in front of the gear shift area, without the case, perfect for hwy trips where you want to grab it quickly.

I wonder of the original adapters Ford sent (magic dock looking ones) are tested to the same spec. My A2Z adapter feels studier than Fords original version.

Waiting for the “Behind the Scenes: Software Updates.”

I ordered July 2024 in Canada and it also says April Delivery so I am even less confident. Perhaps Ford applies a 100% Tariff on Time to Produce and Deliver to us?

Personally I wouldn't wait - just order the A2Z Typhoon Pro from GOEVParts and charge on.
($219 CAN plus tax, and they show in stock right now, mine arrived the same week I ordered it)
just accept the Ford unit as a spare one day when it arrives.
