Charging a Audi e-tron GT with Tesla Charger

[@susantamagni8304]

Thanks!

[@JZainbear]

Don't forget to get a wrap for the front. Black will show every chip. Oh, when is the E-Tron electronics features video?

[@i1Tesla]

Going in on Monday

[@jimwhitman3678]

I’ve used Tesla tap for years, great product.

[@i1Tesla]

Good to know!

[@awo1fman]

The carry bag is big so you can put other charging adapters in there as well. The Tesla one is nice and small, but as a result all of my other adapters are just loose in the frunk.

[@slicktype001]

This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@CHegger]

My OCD was pinging like crazy with every mention of the "J1-1772"

[@winkcla]

I can't find it in the Amazon description but hopefully the 60amp adapter uses the J1772 signaling protocol and a bit of logic to announce the max amperage of either the station or itself, whichever is lowest, similarly to how type 2 cables do in Europe (though technically, the type 2 cables announce their max amperage to the charger and not the car, which probably isn't possible on already tethered cables). It would be incredibly dangerous otherwise. If it does the signaling properly, then 80amps chargers could be used safely, they will just appear as 60amp chargers to the car when the adapter is used.

[@richardkule9384]

The video starts with you in mid-sentence. Good idea to start at the beginning.

[@joetripp123]

Hey Brian, when I put in my Tesla wall charger I went to Home Depot and got a 14-50 stove plug and connected it to the wall charger instead of hardwiring the wall charger. Then had the electrician put in a 14-50 outlet. If you go this route then you could always use the Audi (or any other) charger if something happened to the Tesla one.

[@i1Tesla]

True but then I still need a adaptor for on the road.

[@paulscott1759]

Hi Brian ,here in the uk we log onto the tesla app and charging non tesla and away we go on ccs ,running an volkswagen ID 5 now so super quick and cheaper than most most of the other main stream providers in the uk .Tesla going to go from strength to strength in the ujk as they are building V4 type super chargers every new start up install .enjoy your road trip

[@7spower998]

Excellent video! Thank you 👍👍

[@Chrisb8s]

I am disappointed that this wasn't a "what if" episode. "What if your entire garage was better suited to Tesla and you bought an Audi?"

[@seenstee]

Although $300 adapter may be glorious to have to some degree it makes more sense to install a separate charger for the second vehicle to the same breaker using power sharing on the Tesla charger

[@i1Tesla]

Until someone not paying attention plugs both in. Plus the added expense if you cant install it yourself.

[@brantwedel]

@@i1Tesla the power sharing is automatic with 2 new Tesla chargers, they communicate, altho a Tesla + another brand, idk if there is anything that would handle that.

[@seenstee]

@@i1Tesla when 2 chargers are being used load sharing also gets enabled. They won't overload the breaker if that's what you are implying. It's pretty awesome. Also, tax credits helps.

[@seenstee]

@@brantwedel Yep, load sharing with 3rd party works too.

[@jeffreymagni1272]

I have the 40 amp version for Chevy Volt to use Tesla and it works great. Product is worth the money! Very well made. Tip: if you have a problem charging with adapter, plug adapter in first give it 30 seconds and then plug it into the car. FYI that adapter will never work on a supercharger because on CCS the bottom two connectors are what carry the DC current to charge battery (the top J1772 part is just for signaling)

[@i1Tesla]

Thats why I said that Tesla will end up making and selling an adaptor

[@mumblinge5892]

A typo in the description? I believe the connector is a J1772 instead of a J11772. Thanks for the video.

[@i1Tesla]

You are correct

[@cpF01]

Cool. Timely. I was just wondering about an adapter to J1772. Thanks!

[@i1Tesla]

Glad I could help!

[@patricknovoa7699]

Brian can you pleaseeeee do a what if video in the Audi!? I love those haha, great video by the way!

[@i1Tesla]

Coming soon!

[@patricknovoa7699]

@@i1Tesla yay!

[@DiegoRdgl]

Great video but I'd like to highlight a thing. The adapter you're showing will never work on Superchargers because they supply DC power and the J1772 is just for AC power. To use the superchargers you will need an adaptor Tesla->CCS. Keep up the good work!

[@i1Tesla]

I know. That is why I said Tesla will need to make an adaptor and sell it for a lot of money.

[@morriec9868]

Maybe not an idea to mention not yet, or put the above in the video. Some idiot will try it and if power flows (I realise this is practically nill chance of this, even under SuperCharger fault conditions) 500A through something designed for 80A will likely cause a fire!

[@mr.zeettt6782]

Just additional information. In Europe, V3 Superchargers are with CCS only, V2 have two cables, modified Tesla Type 2 and CCS. For Model S/X owners, you can buy an Adapter and use CCS Charging Stations. So it is possible.

[@MichaelMarchetti-y5v]

Tried this Tesla Tap Mini for charging my Audi eTron at a local supercharger. Connected but then wouldn't charge. I'm new to all this but are the Tesla Destination chargers different such that this might work. Trying to get to mid/upper Maine is a challenge with only 220mi range and no fast chargers on many apps

[@geek2330]

Brian, did I miss you showing the dashboard screen in the car to show the car charging?

[@i1Tesla]

Will be going over the charging speeds in a different video. I want to show the supercharging speed too

[@uaeloco]

We need full details on the e-Tron and compare it with Tesla. I mean what Tesla has that Audi doesn't have.

[@i1Tesla]

working on it

[@googadisbeotches9360]

Didn't Sandy Monroe say It's worse than the Ford mocky? Of course only Tesla is on his recommended list because of all the issues with non Teslas.

[@ella-shanieorbach9520]

Thank you! What’s the difference between 60 and 80 amp for my Audi etron? Also, Would it work with Tesla supercharger?? Thanks

[@brantwedel]

That adapter is only AC, the CCS has the giant separate clunky DC pins, lol ... so yep, will definitely need to buy Teslas (or another) adapter when they release it.

[@clantigua1]

Remember when you supercharge you go on DC bypassing the inverter directly to the battery, so you will need a different adaptor because in CCS1 protocol you charge DC on the bottom part of the connector and use the top part of the CCS1 connector for communication and grounding.

[@MalChicho1]

The conector in Europe is different is type 2

[@nabsterash4162]

What about the opposite? I have an etron GT RS and the charger you showed. What adapter do I need to be able to charge my Tesla on the Audi charger? Thanks

[@blacksc400tenn]

Thanks for the info. I was really wondering about if I would be able to use my Tesla charger I have at home with an Audi e-tron. I currently have a MX but thinking about getting an e-tron. And was hoping I wouldn't have to install another charger just for the Audi.

[@Lamchopzz]

Could I use the 60amp adaptor for my 40amp Tesla charger?

[@sambira]

My Tesla came with a 14-50 adaptor. They don't do it anymore though.

[@Aizman87]

hmm, why dont usa use a standard type 2 connection like europe?

[@bdtang]

Looking forward to your real world test/race.

🤗 THANKS BRIAN …PROGRESS IS A GOOD THING 👍 We LOVE ❤️ OPTIONS 😍😍 ALWAYS GOOD TO GO BIG AND BE ABLE TO SEE THE BENEFITS IN THE LONG TERM 😍😍😍

[@drunkngod]

Definitely looking for follow-up info on the TeslaTap adaptor. Being able to use my current Tesla wall charger and the possibility of the multitude of destination chargers for a potential non-Tesla future purchase as well definitely seems appealing. The EA wall chargers are capped at 40A and more expensive than my current Tesla option. The ChargePoint has a higher ceiling supporting 40A and 50A circuits but also comes at a much higher price point too being $699 MSRP.

[@joevandura9625]

New Tesla owners: straight the to nearest Supercharger. Other new EV owners: fast charging is for road trips.

[@morriec9868]

So much for i1__TESLA__ ;) (Lighted thing on your wall, not the rebranding of the KZbin profile and your shirt). I prefer the Tesla one that is opposite, that is 1/3rd the price (if no longer had the one that comes with the car/need a second), and has a much better lock than the size and hence security that seems likely possible to fit in this adaptor ;) I think I have an issue with using a hotel/etc Tesla Destination for other EVs. Not there isn't a good possibility with the number of Tesla's on the road that you will not have use of a hotel Tesla Destination charger, but using this adaptor to use these will increase this possibility.

[@addea859]

Why do u have Type 1 over there 😁 ? Your electrical system is 110VAC 1 phase? Therefore the high current? We in Europe/Sweden have 3x230VAC and therefore have Type 2? But at home with AC charging, what's the max kW the cars E-tron/MY allows?

[@markjenkins5311]

So many "that's what she said" moments...

[@garys6898]

Ah shit you got the Audi , sweet

[@awo1fman]

That will NOT work with a SuperCharger, ever. You'll need a female Tesla to male CCS1 adapter for that. J1772 is strictly for AC charging, not DC. I'm not going to go into all the technical details, but DC requires much larger conductors to carry the same amount of power as AC. That's why the CCS connector has those two huge pins. The Tesla connector also has two pins that are much larger than any of the J1772 pins. The Mennekes Type 2 connector Tesla uses elsewhere in the world has larger pins than the J1772, but also more of them, and Tesla combines those in a nonstandard way to do supercharging.

@@i1Tesla Super exited to see all of your content, also other EV's, but I also own a Tesla, so I hope you won't decrease the amount of videos with accessories and upgrades for those.

[@davidws5439]

Brian, it's not a charger! It's a EVSE - Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment. We need guys like you that want to inform the public to use the correct terms. Also, EVSE is faster to say! If people do not know what a EVSE is they can Google it and find out. This also makes them aware that the charger is part of the car. So someone having a 3.6 kw charger would know that buying a 9.6 kw EVSE would not allow the car to charge any faster.

[@AG-ob3fx]

Hi..bucked the trend subscribed because you guys got an audi...not an audi fan neither but like the mix up in content ..seen alot of your videos but had enough tesla chanels on my subsriber list...Kim's Like tesla chanel ..teslanomics all nice folks changed their chanel names though kim will stay loya.. l ben already orderered a rivian I believe lol

[@i1Tesla]

Thank you

[@winkcla]

There's no way this adapter will work with (Urban) Superchargers. Non-Tesla EVs don't have the necessary contactors and related circuitry to "redirect" the AC input to the DC input like Tesla has. A Tesla to Audi adapter would definitely have to use the two DC pins of the CCS1 plug.

[@renambot]

He's referring to the announcement that Tesla is working on an adapter and an app for other brands to use superchargers. Still vague in details but widely publicized.

[@Orca-hp4zx]

No problem in Europe - lmao

[@mikepiliaris2081]

Good luck with the germen ev car! I hope it’s a lease and you didn’t buy it.

[@cyberlando]

Brooo there literally is no 80amp destination charger...... The onboard charging system is only capable of charging at 48amps unless you're using DC fast charging like a supercharger.....

[@cyberlando]

Additionally if the audi comes with a 9.6kw charger out of the box ....it means the on-board system is only able to charge at whatever 9.6kw/240V is equal to in amps. So getting an 80 Amp adapter is flat out a waste your car will never support that speed....

[@i1Tesla]

There are older chargers that are out in the wild. Plus I will be able to use this with Urban Superchargers soon.

[@Scott-sm9nm]

I've been to 16 kW destination chargers which at 208 volts is 77 amps. Example: Gold 1 Garage, 792 W General Robinson St, Pittsburgh, PA

[@renambot]

Bro must be new. Tesla changed the specs several times. You could get 80amp unit on 100amp circuit with load balancers…

[@banow6314]

@@i1Tesla, you won't be able to use TeslaTap at Urban Superchargers because they are DC. TeslaTap is for AC only. It's perfect for at home and destination chargers; I've been using the larger version for 2 years to charge my wife's Volt.
