CCS Cybertruck Adapter

[henchman24]

My A2Z still works and mostly works great. The only issue I have is how tight REMA cables are to the adapter. It can be a tiny ordeal to get it to separate on them... and sadly the charger I use it most on is a REMA cable. As for how much I use... once or twice a month. I frequent rural areas without a bunch of supercharger coverage... or it is enough out of the way it would be a pain. If I lived east of the Mississippi or on the West Coast, I probably would never use it. Through Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico and Idaho... it is great to have if you venture off the highway (especially CO and NM since they have a ton of CCS chargers even if lower power).

The newest A2Z Cybertruck adapter solves the problem you are having. I called them recently and they are sending me the updated version for free.

I'd be interested to hear if the updated version does solve this. I'm probably not keen on swapping out as it is only a maybe minute or two inconvenience and eventually NACS will be swapped over or NACS chargers will be in the areas I go.

This problem though just goes to show how bad CCS is as a standard.

I received the Teslaunch one yesterday. It would not work at a Francis Energy Station, but it did work at an Electrify America Station. Of course I failed to navigate to the nearest Super Charger, so the battery wasn't warmed up, but I did receive 88 kWh. I'll try navigating and warming up the battery at some point before my March trip where I will definitely need to use this.

Should have gotten the A2Z one. Is it too late to send yours back?

It was a Francis Energy system update that was needed to charge Cybertrucks. Had nothing to do with the adaptor. The adaptor worked fine in March for my trip.

All (DC only) NACS to CCS or CCS to NACS adapters are dumb adapters. Just rearranging and adapting pins. There is no communication to the vehicle nor the charger happening. So any failure to start charging is really on the charger or vehicle (and vast majority of the time it is the charger due to the poor design of the CCS protocol... which NACS now uses). There might be a temp sensor that trips a communication or ground wire, but there is no communication between adapters and vehicles or chargers.

That isn't to say all are built the same though. Materials used matters quite a lot. Cheap knockoffs tend to use worse quality pieces and even some bigger brands cheap out (looking at you Kia/Hyundai).

Sounds like the majority had went with the A2Z adapter. Any from MCEVKELN? I know there's been a couple other posts that made a mention of this brand and maybe Teslaunch?
