NACS to CCS1 Adapter with Extension Cable!

[Billyk24]

Look in EVBASE.com. it is listed for $599.00. Two internal temperature sensors and claims to meet UL and IEC standards. Claims to shut off at 185f internal temperature. Did we miss this announcement?

Seems steep at a $600 USD price tag but if pulling up to a SC really makes you that nervous then I guess this would work. Never heard of Evbase before either but that doesn't mean the product or company isn't legit.

Direct link for anyone interested.

It is only rated for 250A, will likely over heat quickly.

The A2Z cable, whenever released for sale, will limit charging speed as well

 

[bbulkow]

By what mechanism would a cable limit charge speed instead of shut down charge (too hot)?

Is the cable long enough to use a supercharger on the "correct" side? My problem with busy stations is waiting for a stall i can pull into, so i pick ones that are nearly empty. Of course if there is already a non Tesla...

If we can pull in without "wasting" a space it might be worth it

This is not especially confidence building: "【Certified Safety Standards】Compliant with international safety standards such as UL and IEC"

"Compliant with" is not the same thing as "Certified to". The former typically means the manufacturer reviewed it, while the latter involves a certified lab testing the device to specific standards and finding it compliant. Even worse, because they don't list the specific standards, and there are a huge number of UL and IEC standards, there's no indication that they review it against any standards that are actually relevant.

I'll wait for the A2Z extension cord. And if it doesn't come out, I'll take that as an indication they couldn't get it right so didn't release it.

A2z EV no longer lists the NACS extension cord as an upcoming product. Was it Tesla would not OK it's usage and/or A2Z EV could not solve the issue?

UL does not have a standard for EV charging extension cables.

It is still listed as upcoming on A2Z’s wensite. Attached is a screenshot showing a recent status update.
