Guess where the adapter Ford sent me is manufactured, that’s right China, that’s not to say that the American made one isn’t better but China seem to be way ahead of us on electric cars
If you received a NACS to J1772 adapter for Level 1/2 charging from Ford, it was probably a TeslaTap.
Ford dealers have been purchasing them from TeslaTap since 2021 for their customers before the Superchargers were available to Non-Tesla manufacturers.

But, I am going to guess that you were referring to the NACS to CCS1 adapter that Ford sent you for Level 3 (DC) charging at Superchargers that cannot be used for level 1 or 2 (AC) charging.

Yes, your right, I don’t think Ford even sent out level 1/2 adapters , my bad, miss read post but Ford must be ok with Chinese adapters since they sent out modified Lectron supercharger adapters

Actually, Ford did send out some Level 1/2 chargers to some of the earliest Lightning deliveries. However, it was a J-1772 to Tesla adapter so Lightnings could charge dead Teslas by the side of the road. Farley was trolling Tesla on that one.

The dealers during their training were shown the TeslaTap MINI and were informed where to purchase them for their customers or to have their customers order them directly at https://www.umc-j1772.com

I decided better to have the extra adapter and not need it, then the other way around...ordered the A2Z Tesla destination adapter - looks like it will fit in the same zip up bag that the Typhoon came with. :)
