Tesla Level 3 DCFC Adapter, Level 2 EV Charging Adapters & Portable Charger for Summer Road Trip + Route Planning Tools.

[Madtroniks]

Summer is right around the corner and as I am making plans for travel this Summer to Florida, Atlanta, Colorado and California.

I realized how much more comfortable I am traveling across the nation thanks to driver assist technologies and Tesla Supercharging network being available recently.

Currently I have the following items I always carry with me. Tesla A2Z Typhoon Level 3 DCFC adapter, Tesla Level 2 Destination adapter (Hotels / Shopping Centers / Parking Lots), Portable charger and RV Park / Camping ground adapter. For the Level 2 adapter you will want to dial down the amperage to 80% of the breaker you are currently using by code.

I have also shared the tools like ABRP, Plugshare and Tesla Find US that I use to plan my road trips so I am familiar with the best / reliable chargers are and try to plan out my stops for food / restroom / hotels where a charging station is also located. I like to multitask where I can and save time. As they always say Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

You can use Plugshare to map out CCS charging stations along your route and also use Tesla Find Us to locate Magicdock chargers which have built in adapter to go from NACS to CCS / Tesla Superchargers which require Level 3 DCFC NACS to CCS adapters like A2Z Typhoon.

If you need one ASAP you can always order the A2Z Typhoon Level 3 DCFC adapter using the forum discount code "FORD", one of the most popular adapters currently being used by F-150 lightning owners, Mustang Mach-E owners and Rivian owners.

In addition, you can save further by purchasing a level 2 adapter bundle using the drop down options as well. This adapter is used with Tesla destination chargers commonly found at hotels / shopping center / parking lots.

The level 2 Stellar adapter will pay for it self overtime by avoiding an expensive fast charge on the road every night while you sleep at the hotel with Tesla destination charging.

You can use the same Tesla Find Us link to locate Tesla Level 2 destination chargers.

Finally I love to use ABRP to plan out my trips in detail.

Good luck on your planning and have a blast on your road-trip.

Hope that helps you with your Summer road-trip planning.

You can get the below on your desktop or download the App on your phone.

I hope everyone will share pictures of their summer road trip travel where you create precious memories with your family, friends and pets.

Feel free to share even pictures as simple as your vehicle charging at a Tesla station while you let your dog out for a walk or as fancy as taking a professional picture of your Lightning using Niagara Falls as a backdrop .

will the typhoon adapter work for non supercharger Tesla chargers? Just trying to determine why you would need the additional adapter.

The Typhoon adapter is compatible with third party NACS DCFC and compatible Tesla Superchargers which are available to CCS vehicles with adapter.

Typically folks who don’t have an OEM Tesla adapter currently are the ones who are ordering the Typhoon adapter today and planning to use it as a backup when their Ford order arrives.

Let me know if that answers your question.

 

[ARSPORTSMAN]

I guess that’s my question, is it only compatible with dcfc or could you use the typhoon with a Tesla mobile charger as well?

Got it, thanks.

Typhoon is DC only for superchargers level 3 charging.

Stellar is AC level 2 only for Tesla Destination chargers which are found at Hotel / airbnb, shopping centers and parking lot. You can also use it with Tesla home chargers level 2.

I carry both.

Something like a portable power station which can put out 30 amps and be charged at an EV charging station?

If anyone starts getting bright ideas about using these Ecoflows for range extension, the $4k one only holds 6.5 kWh, and it's going to deliver less than that to the truck due to losses during the charging process. On a road trip this might make the difference between getting to the charger and having a bunch of CoEds help you push your truck the last few feet (IYKYK), but overall they're an expensive hassle of a Jerry can for a random extra 12ish miles.

The A2Z Adapter Bundle made my road-trip a breeze this weekend. 600 miles roundtrip and I didn't even notice the time spent charging. Literally I was multitasking and the car was ready before I was ready to head back on the road.

I was able to successfully use the A2Z Tesla Typhoon Supercharger adapter this weekend on my Rivian at Buc-ee's.

I saved money by using the Tesla Membership pricing and also saved time by having over 40 chargers to chose from that all worked without skipping a beat.

I was able to pull down 210 kW which is pretty much the max supported by Rivian. The adapter had no issues and did not have any sort of throttling or derating issues in Texas heat.


On top of that I got a free charge of 50 kWh at the hotel using the A2Z Stellar Tesla Destination charger plug. This adapter literally will pay for itself while charging for free on the go at hotels, parking lots, shopping centers and Tesla supported Airbnb.

While all the CCS chargers were filled up, I was able to use the 2 hidden Tesla chargers from Valet at no cost even when I did the self-parking option.

The General Manager at the JW Marriott went above and beyond by letting me use the private Tesla stations for Valet all weekend.

It’s compact, has a built in key lock , good customer service and warranty, it’s overbuilt like my Rivian to handle 20 kW aka future proofing.

Instead of charging at a DCFC location to get to 95%-100% state of charge for my return trip, I can just use the free Tesla destination charger at the hotel and save $15-$30. I also avoid the J-1772 charger @ 6 kw and instead get 8.9 kW with Tesla. Nice to have options.

As soon as you plug in the adapter and attach it to the car it will throw a red warning light. It takes like 10 seconds to start. I think it’s going from Tesla to J-1772 charging mode.

I was able to avoid paying for 50 kWh of power on the road and have a full charge before I head out thanks to the A2Z Stellar Tesla to J-1772 adapter.

With the built in lock, I didn’t have to worry about anyone removing my adapter or disconnecting my session.

Next month I’ll be doing the same thing for one week and avoid charging at a paid location.

The Stellar AC Tesla to J-1772 Destination adapter is out of stock right now but you should put this on your list of items to have with you at all times.

The Typhoon Tesla DCFC supercharger adapter is in stock right now.


Feel free to use the forum discount code “FORD” to save $$$ once it’s back in stock.

If they were going to redesign it, why couldn't they have added 2-3 ft of cord to the end? Would likely sell to people that already own the first gen adapter if it made it easier to reach the chargers as well.

 

[Madtroniks]

They currently have a NACS DC extension cord under testing / coming soon products.

Looks like the pro version is now available for ordering.

You can bundle the A2Z Stellar AC Tesla to J-1772 adapter for Hotel Destination charger for $68 additional after discount by using the drop down on the Typhoon Pro page to get both adapters.

I will order one now and make a review post once I get it.
