A2z fast charger

[Mach-Lee]

Ordered 2/29, received 3/22.

Tested it and works fine. @A2ZEV I have some feedback:

-The slide latch for the Tesla plug is very stiff and somewhat difficult to use. I think this part should be redesigned to have a raised triangle profile or a knurled texture. The tolerances should also be increased so there is less drag during actuation. People with limited thumb strength or ability will have difficulty using it.

-The "LOCK" and "OPEN" labels on the slide lock are counterintuitive. When the adapter is locked, "OPEN" is visible, and when the adapter is unlocked "LOCK" is visible. Switch them around so the word visible is equal to the status.

-The case stinks (chemical smell). Not putting that in my car.

-You might put more texture or grip on the outside of the adapter to facilitate removal from the charge port. There is a bit of "what do I grab onto" conundrum during removal. I'd like to see something down by the DC pins for my other hand to pull on.

-The instruction manual says the adapter should only be used to charge Tesla vehicles, not other vehicles. (Page 9) That makes no sense.

I ordered one on 2/29 and it was in my hands on 3/20. I order the Lectron in October and it never showed.

I think the same of Lectron - not a peep from them.
Ordered both A2Z and Lectron on the same week.

A2Z will arrive sooner than Lectron so that means since Lectron hasn't shipped, I am going to cancel it when A2Z arrives.

For those of you looking to order the A2Z adapter, be aware that the A2Z NACS adapater webpage is currently showing about a one month delivery timeframe from the time the order is place until the adapter is delivered. Just keep that mind if you have a upcoming trip.

Ordered on March 6 and just got an email it shipped and I have a tracking number. So, less than 3 weeks for me, not a first day order.

Ordered mine on March 4th. Tracking says arriving Wednesday (27th) so just over 3 weeks for me.

Just curious, but when did you order it? I ordered mine on 2/29 and trying to get an idea of when I may receive it.

I ordered 3/4/24 and got a shipping notice today.

I received my adapter today, pretty fast shipping, works great, only annoyance was the locking tab.

Yes, it seems folks get tricked into thinking they have the adapter fully attached and then the charger won't start charging.

The Tesla/Ford charger is better in this regard. It has a lock that is spring loaded and engages upon pushing the J3400 into the adapter.

Got a shipping label for my March 1st order but it hasn't reached UPS yet.

 

[mdolan92869]

Got the shipping label on Monday. Just got a text from UPS that the adapter should be showing up April 3rd. So, ordered on March 6, should get it April 3rd, 4 weeks.

My A2Z adapter arrived yesterday, and worked great at nearby Tesla Supercharger.

Those who had comments about the lock direction and manual, they have made updates that clearly show the direction to lock. (Now if Tesla cable was only a little longer )
