Which Tesla Supercharger Adapter Is Better? Lectron Vortex vs A2Z EV Typhoon Pro

[@EV_OG]

Nice review. Good to know A2Z allows for one hand operation. I’ll be doing a similar comparison with Lectron vs. the official Tesla made Rivian adapter I just received. Also looking forward to sharing our Volvo supercharging experience.

Looking forward to seeing your review!

Thanks - Nice nice demonstration of both adapters . I own each A2Z and Lectron and both work as shown with my Lyriq and Silverado. I have one in each vehicle for emergencies when I need to use a TSCN location. For the record on road trips I prefer to use other CPO locations because of the short cable tesla used for the Lyriq and faster charger speeds tesla cannot match for the Silverado.

[@Aslash304]

I appreciate this feedback. I also try to use other networks first, primarily due to cost, and I know the Silverado can get much better speeds at other locations. Cheers!

i have lectron adapter for my honda prologue. i usually connect the supercharger to the adapter first then connect to the car.

[@Aslash304]

I have tried this. It is easier to do overall.

Good Morning Adam and thank you for this video I am going to buy the A2Z adapter :)

[@Aslash304]

Right on! Both are high quality. Thanks for watching!

Will these function as a Tesla wall connector to J1772 adaptor if connected to a wall connector and not to a Supercharger?

[@Aslash304]

No. Fast Charging is DC. Home Charging is AC. This is what I use: a.co/d/aGIuJND

The A2Z typhoon adapter has a recall coming for it soon. Not sure what the problem is.

[@Aslash304]

Correct. However, almost all of the A2Z adapters are the typhoon pro. Which has no recall. Tesla themselves didn’t like the way the original typhoon locking system worked. There are no reported problems. They are simply trying to comply with Teslas specification requests. If you have a typhoon, you can trade it for a typhoon pro no charge

[@frankm2347]

Coming from Tesla to a Chevy blazer Ev,will this work on all of the Tesla stations or just certain ones? I already have the Tesla app.

[@Aslash304]

Only certain stations work with the adapters. Use the map in the app, under “charge your non-Tesla” or look up superchargers on the Tesla site and turn off all the filters except “superchargers open to NACS”

@ thanks

[@forevertool]

Hi Sir,I am new to this ev charging on Tesla superchargers so what adapters do you recommend for Volvo xc40 recharge

[@Aslash304]

The Lectron Vortex and the A2Z Typhoon Pro are the best available at the current time. Watch this review to decide which one you like best. The A2Z has a nice case. The Lectron Vortex seems to be more robust.

[@forevertool]

Thanks for the fast response.

[@remyd8767]

so you're not supposed to plug in the cable first and then go into the app?

[@Aslash304]

You can. I’ve tried it both ways

[@phill6885]

The adapter from GM (sold for GM vehicles) works well and is much more compact, therefore easier to store. It is however, more expensive. According to GM you connect it to the tesla plug first before plugging into the vehicle. To get it apart after unplugging from the vehicle takes 2 hands.

[@Aslash304]

You can connect both of these to the charger first as well. And when you say “much more compact,” how much size are we talking about? Does the difference in footprint justify the extra cost? Finally, does the GM unit come with a carrying case?

[@phill6885]

@@Aslash304 4.75" L x 4" H x 2.5" W Weight 1lb 11.3oz. No carrying case. GM recommends connecting to Tesla plug first. Fits nicely in the center console front or rear compartment.. Extra cost justification up to individual. I think it's worth $225.

@@phill6885And how do I get one for my Honda?

[@phill6885]

@@Aslash304 Try your local Chevy dealer parts department. If you do it on line it'll ask for make and model such as Chevy Blazer EV RS AWD, so it may be better to do it by phone or in person as I doubt they list the Honda. All else fails, let me know.

[@Aslash304]

@@phill6885 you need a VIN. It was rhetorical.

[@OmerAydin-nk1hs]

Thank you very much for this video. I have a question. I have a Honda prologue car. I registered from the tesla app as you said, but it only shows one charging station. Why can't I charge at other charging stations of tesla. But when I change my car to Rivian, all charging stations appear. I wonder if I change my car to Rivian, will it charge? Can you try that? Thank you

[@Aslash304]

Unfortunately, the vehicle that you say you are in has to match The vehicle you were actually in. The app can tell the difference. I would love to see a screenshot of the difference between the Rivian and the Blazer EV.

[@marklefler4007]

does the door open ding never stop?

[@Aslash304]

If the car is on and the door is open, the ding never stops.

[@MadDogEighty80]

Confirmed that both adapters work with Polestar.

[@Aslash304]

Excellent!
