Testing CCs to chademo adapter last day , from Accraine and electway

[@KevinJones-Peacefreak]

Please do yourself a favor and ask Patrick if he will set you up with an affiliate link, just for you. Having one of the first working units in the US you deserve a small commission for sales you cause. Or ask him if you get 5 people who mention you during sale, they will give you one. Somehow, you deserve a working unit right now.

[@nomadichippie]

I would love one of these units. I’m gonna save my money for a couple of months and probably get one hopefully before September or something it’s gonna take me a while to get that kind of money back up again after purchase one I have been testing.

Amen to this comment! Rick has been the only one in the US spreading the word and beta testing online for us to watch. He's been a walking tv commercial for these products!

@@nomadichippie My Momma taught me, "There is no harm to anybody in asking". Sure, you may get a no, but quite often you get what you want if reasonable. Ask what it will take for you to get one free now. You played tour guide and primary promoter so there is no shame in negotiating one free product. Hell, tell them you will do one promotional video a month for the next 5 months. You are going to be charging anyway. You deserve this and can prove it to them by views on these Chademo videos you've been making. Thank you, and get one!!

[@TommyTravels]

Awe Hippie, I'm so happy for you! It would be cool at least get some kind of a discount on your order for this new adapter in exchange for these heartfelt promotions.

It would be but I don’t expect it

In the immortal words of Young Frankenstein's Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "It's alive!, It's alive!, It's alive!". What a joy this was to watch. I think I see light at the end of charging tunnel for my LEAF.

[@nomadichippie]

This is even going to bring my 2013 Nissan leaf back to Life that only gets 60 miles per charge with something like this. You could feasibly leave Orlando Florida and drive to Los Angeles California and back in something that only gets 60 miles. Yes, it may take a month to do that, but you could feasibly do it Wait I think I might have a future lol

[@dama054]

Thanks for putting this out it's great to know that one of these adapters is working reliably I will soon be needing one for my 2013 nissan leaf

[@nomadichippie]

And another day or so the one we were out testing is gifted to me should be at my address and I’m definitely gonna be putting it through its paces more than just two days around or Orlando. I’m excited for some great videos and a lot of my mind. Hopefully it helps you out too so far so good at least during the testing but let’s see what it’s like on road trips.

[@nomadichippie]

I think the other one’s gonna work reliably too. It’s just gonna take a little bit longer to get the right firmware.

[@JeffTrusty]

I just purchased this adapter after seeing how successful it has been. Hopefully they will give you a discount when you are ready to purchase from them.

[@nomadichippie]

I could tell you right now I am not kidding you it worked great 100% of the time it just blew me away. I guess that’s the problem with being an early doctor. I purchased the other brand that doesn’t work when I should’ve just held off and waited for more people to test it out, I see something that I think might work from somebody on KZbin. Come to find out it didn’t work after I got the product. Now this company comes out with an actual working product that works almost every single time. I mean this one every time I’m sure there’s gonna be a time it might not work but then all you do is send an email and they send you a new firmware and it will automatically work. It just was so mind blowing This right here when I purchased my first product I can’t wait to get some money up and purchase this thing. I’m looking around my home right now inside the RV to see what I can sell on Facebook to get the money really fast lol

[@dhark9190]

long road to success, well done. Wish you a nice day

[@suthie1953]

So pleased for you. Let your big cross country trip begin. Looking forward to regular updates.

[@nomadichippie]

Yes, the cross country trip is going to be put off a little bit because I was supposed to leave two weeks ago on a 1900 mile round-trip, but I wasn’t gonna do it until I got my adapter working. My adapter never worked so I had to change my plans and not go on the trip Now that this unit is working. I am waiting to generate enough revenue doing Uber and Lyft to purchase product and then summer starts to wind down and it cools off a little bit so I don’t have to worry about battery overheating. I will be taking a trip. I might take a couple five or 700 mile trips, this summer nothing further than that until the weather starts to cool off

[@inferno10]

Wow this is great; so happy for you! It’s awesome that they sent Patrick over to do testing and updates; really sounds like Accraine stands behind their product.

[@nomadichippie]

That would be really sweet. I don’t expect anything I would like an affiliate link definitely but I don’t really get very many of those. I have an Amazon affiliate link but these things don’t sell on Amazon, but it would be helpful just being able to test it with him Was pretty cool so I don’t other than just learning a little bit which I did quite a bit

Very exciting! So I see Chargepoint and EA compatibility, and those two by themselves are almost enough to push me over the edge and order the adapter. Forgive me if I missed it, but has it been tested with Shell Sky or Shell Recharge? Because once you add those in, we've accounted for almost all of the CCS chargers in my part of the midwest. Then I'm afraid I would HAVE to buy one.

[@toegema]

In Europe all Tesla chargers are CCS. Wonder how this adapter works on the v2, v3 and v4 Superchargers here.

[@TheManOnTheBench]

Patrick said they would extend the return period to 30 days instead of the 7 days from purchase as stated on their site. Free shipping. Do you know if it takes a battery like the others and is it a rechargeable type or just 2A?

[@nomadichippie]

Yes, he told me there is no battery inside his. They have a compact capacitor hopefully speech to text spelt that correctly lol but he said it had a capacitor or something in it instead of a battery.

[@Sixpenceev]

capacitor similar with battery. It will charge itself during working. Only when you long time you haven't use it, then use a power bank to charge or directly charge it by type C connector

[@bernardlapp9375]

@@nomadichippie Probably an "ultracapacitor" sometimes called a "supercapacitor." Same thing used in modern televisions, cameras, etc to maintain their settings for weeks/months at a time when power isn't applied. It's not really a battery, chemically speaking, but kinda acts like one.

[@victorcaballero2487]

Where in the US can we buy the adapter and how much is it?

Link is in the description you can buy it now. I don’t know how much it is in the United States. I live in Florida. I think it’s about $700 or so right around there. I’m not good at hurting money. The price is on the website though.

I am very interested in buying one for my 2019 Leaf. Can you tell me the cost and how to order. Thanks

Honestly, I do not know the cost. We never discussed it, but I did go to the website and in Europe it is selling for €700 I’m not exactly sure how much it is in the United States but he will be pricing it accordingly.

[@drarkan]

Hi Hippie, Im in Canada in Vancouver BC, and I have a 2015 Nissan Leaf. I have the ability to charge at home on a 20A plug, which works fine for me, pulling 16A on my charger. I do have a few Chademo chargers around my area and most do work, as Chevron has rolled out their charging service for a decent cost and supports Chademo and CCS at all stations that have them. Having this adapter would open up my options and Patrick if you see this I would love to know more information on cost and shipping to my area. I may not need it right away, though it would really open up my options if I would ever need to travel farther than my local area. I have been able to get to Chilliwack with one charge stop on the way, and charging while in Chilliwack, for context its a 85 KM drive. I bet I could have gotten to my destination without charging mid way though to have this adapter it would open up my options when on road trips

[@nomadichippie]

Thank you for a great comment. I wish that I could have the time and a month to do a long road trip and come up to Vancouver. It’d be great to do that trip but it’s just so many miles and I can’t have the time off but hearing stories like this, I would love to go to a Chevron charger, sure will see this

How much does the adapter cost for UK What is the warranty

[@nomadichippie]

I am not sure the warranty I did go to the website to look someone in the comment thread said one year warranty. I’m not sure though and the website does show. It’s like €700 or something you have to go to the website and look.

[@kelalamusic9258]

Something I just learned is that the standard for EV charging across the US will be NACS (Tesla). I'm sure most know about this, but it just become knowledge to me. So, where does that leave us Leaf owners? Standardization should have been dealt with on the onset. After all, when you fill up a gas car you can go to any gas station, and this should be the same situation for EVs . . . ALL charging station. If they don't do something about standardization soon, the EV market might wither away in the future. Tesla does supply A/C destination chargers at hotels, for example. But you will need a J1772 adapter to work on those chargers (level 2). OK for overnight charging. Nothing as yet for use at a Tesla Super Charger (I think). Honestly, I hope this nonsense is sorted out when I'm ready to purchase another EV. I wonder what it would cost to completely change out the charging system on a Leaf to the new NACS standard. That would be great for Leaf owners who want to keep their cars.

I travel a lot with the leaf. For the longest time, I was trying to find my niche. I was going to the Philippines, Singapore, Hawaii, Bahamas, and trying to travel stuff. I’ve tried the theme park videos. I’ve tried gadget and electronic videos trying to find my perfect niche and finally, I settled on traveling with my niece going places and showing charging as I’m going places and doing things, and that’s kind of I do these testing videos are just part of that and so I usually try and show a little bit more stuff that’s around the areas when I’m doing videos I might take and show a little bit more of the charging and I appreciate the feedback

[@wolfman9999999]

@@nomadichippie I'm not sure about the second gen, but when we replaced the OBC on our former 2012 LEAF, we found the cooling lines literally going past the battery to get to the OBC in the back. I wanted to face desk when I saw this. Even worse, there is an EV version of the Nissan Versa out there that does have a liquid cooled battery. Nissan really made a poor decision in skimping on cooling. I wonder if the 2nd gen LEAF also has cooling lines going to the back of the car? I could see this as a "relatively" easy job and tie into the cooling to the sensors for the OBC and running a tapped loop with pump into a cooling plate in the battery pack. This is assuming there isn't a sleeping piece of code in the BCM to wake up make use of.
