MACH-E- Tesla Adaptor

[SEAN MYERS]

The Level 2 Tesla to J-1772 charging adapter pictured above made by EVDANCE is for AC Level 2 and not for DCFC level 3.

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

Tesla Find Us Superchargers available with adapter / Magicdock location Chargers

For level 2 AC - I personally bought the 48 amp Lectron and gave it away to a forum member and prefer to use the 80 amp A2Z Stellar with built in lock and compact design.

I would recommend sticking with known brands like Lectron, A2Z and TeslaTap for your Level 2 AC adapter.

I would recommend the A2Z Stellar NACS to J-1772 adapter which is available for $88, compact build, has a built in lock, good customer service / warranty and overbuilt for futureproofing.

The level 2 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't use your Level 2 EVDANCE AC Tesla to J-1772 adapter for DC Fast Charging (DCFC). PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS.

For DCFC I personally use the A2Z Typhoon pro and OEM Tesla adapter. I like to have a back-up adapter with me at all times.

After trying the Typhoon Pro, Typhoon and Ford / Tesla OEM adapter. Here are my thoughts on them.

They all work great and beats having to use Electrify America. The most user friendly is the Typhoon pro due to the single switch to control the CCS side and NACS side. I also like how easy it is to hold the Typhoon pro securely. The lip on the NACS side is a nice touch to make sure the adapter doesn’t slip out of your hand.

The Ford / OEM Tesla dual latch is a little more user friendly compared to original Typhoon but a little harder to grip securely while toggling both the latches. I think grip tape might be nice to have as long as it doesn’t mess with thermals.

You can buy the original Tesla OEM adapter from Rivian for $250 with free shipping BUT NO RETURNS ALLOWED.

I personally keep both the OEM Tesla adapter and A2Z Stellar AC / Typhoon Pro DCFC adapter to have myself covered at all times.

This ensures I have a backup always and I can charge at Tesla Destination chargers commonly found at hotels / shopping center / parking lots.

If you need one ASAP in 2 - 3 week time you can always order the A2Z Typhoon Pro Level 3 DCFC adapter using the forum discount code "FORD", one of the most popular adapters currently being used by Rivian owners, F-150 lightning owners, GMC / Chevy Owner and Mustang Mach-E owners.

Discount promo code “FORD” is still working and free shipping is also available.

You can bundle the A2Z Stellar AC Tesla to J-1772 for $88 additional after discount by adding both into your cart.

How did you come up with that? Ford Corporate never sent anything like this. Ever. The *ONLY* adapters Ford ever sent to a Lightning customer have been the Tesla-made adapters, followed by the current ones from Lectron.

If this came from a Ford dealer, it's plausible, that their aftermarket parts department may stock these for L2 charging. And OP seems to have it straight now that this is an adapter he bought prior, just got confused.

My bad. The earliest Lightning deliveries came with a J1772 to Tesla L2 adapter as gift from Ford corporate. The one pictured is a Tesla to J1772 L2 adapter.

thanks for all the detail, very excited to be able to charge at Tesla stations, reduces range anxiety issues.

100% agreed. My range anxiety has gone down completely. I just did a 1200 mile round trip and it was stress free. Charging was never an issue thanks to having access to the Tesla network and also having chargers at the indoor parking.

I was glad I had my level 2 AC Stellar adapter in case I needed to use a Tesla charger at the indoor cruise port to ensure I come home to a full charge.

Honestly, I need to take bio breaks / family breaks and food breaks to the point my car is always ready before I am and my vehicle has enough juice but I need to pull over to take a break.

Please share your experience once you get the right DCFC level 3 adapter and make a 1000+ mile road-trip.
