I will never understand the impulse to cheap out on the charging equipment that's going to be attached to a $50,000+ vehicle.

I see that in all kinds of things. People cheep out on the silliest things.

I was offered a free nacs to CCS adapter to review on my youtube channel from an unknown company. While I love free stuff I could not in good faith accept it. I did not want to open the potential can of worms that would come with it.

Also the big 3 adapters are not that expensive in the grand scheme of things. Go back and look at the Chademo to CCS/Tesla adapters if you want to see how a real expensive adapter looks.

I would think the wires would immediately melt on the version in the right picture. I see some positive feedback after actual use on some of these economy adapters being sold on Amazon.

Look into the reputation of the manufacturer / seller first.
Make sure that there is someone you can contact if needed for support.
And of course, always buy from the USA.

I purchased my adapter from TeslaTap as they make the highest quality J1772 adapter and now make the new SuperTap. It has worked perfectly every time. They are at https://www.teslatapinc.com

What is the best one/reputable one to buy? I am contemplating leasing a Lightning Flash and the dealer says the adapter on Ford.com is not available.

Thanks, saw your earlier post.

I guess I was wondering if there are others to consider. Looks like a good recommendation, thanks.

And attached to a power source that can kill you and burn down your house.
I don't use the low bidder on medical services either.

Not for me... I have purchased others as well but they are ALL made in China. I have been using a TeslaTap for years.

IMHO, the product is far superior to any other ones out there and I am sure that their SuperTap is the same. For a few dollars more, I think it is worth the investment.

+1.

Are there any brands that are fully made in the US? Saying final assembly in the US could be only labeling, packing and boxing.

People get paid to leave positive feedback sometimes.
I look at how many reviews an item has because most scammers are lazy SOBs in my experience.
Anything electrical should have certification from UL or other reliable lab.

Just used the one I purchased from Amazon for the first time yesterday on a Supercharger at the Tejon Outlets, and it worked fine. Didn't get very warm either.
