Thanks man , you saved me good amount of money , I was about to go with additional charging station

Thanks for the ideas for home charging options

Just in case people are wondering, the adapter you get with your tesla is the other direction: taking a j1772 cable into a tesla port.

🤗👍 THANKS ERIC FOR SHARING THIS WITH US … We currently don’t have any friends with TESLAS…but a friend of our son just got his RIVIAN…this might be useful to him 🤗💚💚💚

Thank you!

The 40A Lectron has been perfect for me with my e-tron. The extra reach just happens to work perfectly for where my Tesla Wall Charger is to where the charge port is and my wall charger is on a 50A breaker and set to 40A max anyway. I was thinking about getting the 48A to leave in the trunk though for trips…

You had one of the first videos showing the load sharing with the Tesla wall connector. Why did you decide to install the Rivian power supply vs changing to a Tesla wall connector with the J1772 that way you won’t lose the load sharing?

@@blueblood2555 that’s is normal on these vehicles. Plug the cable . Go back inside and turn the car on. Then Turn it back off and it will start charging. Also it will start charging from the app as well. I am using a Gen 1 tesla charger and it will start charging with no issues. But the Gen 2 cables do have this issue that you mention.

You mentioned that you were getting a Rivian connector. Did you installl it? Can it load share with your Tesla connector? Just wondering why you would install a Rivian connector instead of a Tesla J1772 connector in your situation. Thanks for the video. I have a Tesla and thinking of getting a Rivian and wondering how best to charge both and load share a 60 amp breaker.

I'm already there. I have the Lectron adaptor (48 Amp). It's cool you checking out Rivian home charger but you will likely prefer the tesla setup better. Tesla charger communicate with each other so well. (FYI, the older 80 Amp Tesla charger it won't work at 80 amps. I had to switch it down to 48 Amps. It's likely the Lectron prevents it for UL reason). Great video as alway. Thx Barry :-)

To confirm, the chargers communicate with each other to load balance & there’s no dependency on communicating with the car; so the load balancing will work among two tesla wall chargers w one connected to a rivian and one connected to a Tesla ?? Thanks !!!

@barryhomes1

Жыл бұрын

@@rmorgenstern yes that is true the load balance is communicated between the testa chargers. However (for UL reasons I suppose) the Lectron adapter stops the charge. There is a communication between the car and the charger (Tesla Cambus and CCS PLC). Lectron’s adapter has to determine the charge doesn’t exceed the adapters max charge rate. If it reads the charge is greater then 48 amps it wont charger.

Thanks for informing us of a product to replace that awful dongle adapter. I also want a good, but not expensive, CCS to Tesla adapter so I can charge at a Electrify America DCFC. Maybe Lectron or Teslatap has one.

“Phrasing”

Been using that adapter now for a couple weeks. Any time I need it to charge the r1S for more then about an hour straight, it stops charging and throws a red light on the wall charger and a red ring on the r1. Car screen says “waiting for charger”. App says red lightning bolt and “charge error”. Once I remove the adapter the wc green light comes back and I can plug back in and it charges again. 🤷🏾‍♂️. Tried at both 48A and 40A. Same failure.

oh man, I have that original Lectron (was a freebie from a friend) but would love to have that new one. Was using the big one with my PHEV Volvo before we sold it and I have the same criticisms of the cable.

The TPC is so elegant, not like the big and clumsy CCS pushed on the world.

Why are the screens in the Rivian so lumpy? Is it due to screen protectors?

Is it really still worth keeping the order in for the Rivian wall charger? Seems like a completely unnecessary expense since the adapter and wall mount are just dandy.

Was wondering the same thing. Does the factory review wall charger have an advantage over using the adapter to the current Tesla wall charger?

A phone charger can be called charger. But these are not chargers. They're wall connectors. They provide AC power to the onboard charger within the car. Which in turn transforms AC to DC and injects power to the cells via the BMS. Just wanted to add a technical comment. I love your videos David and Erik. Thanks a lot for what you do. Hey I would love to see you test Taiga Motors units. On lake or snow. They use j1772. Thanks

Daerik, is there a reason why the J1772 adapter the Teslas now come with is not able to connect to the Tesla plug and charge the Rivian? Thank you for the video!

@awashkowitz7156

Жыл бұрын

Yes. The reason is the connection is the wrong way. The adapter that comes with the Tesla will connect a CCS plug into a Tesla…you need an adapter to go the other way to connect the home Tesla charger to (something else)

They also sell teslatap adapters for j1772 vehicles that do up to 60a and 80a. The fact is that when we bought our first was connector it was only the 2 wall connector on the market which does up to 80a charging and have obtained 2 more used gen 2s rather than buying gen 3s at only 48a max. I could care less about or need the wifi capabilities. The gen 2 can still communicate with wiring between them for load sharing anyway. What happens when the cybertruck comes out and it can charge at more than 48a, then you are stuck. 26mph on a pickup is not fast enough if you drive a bit during the day. I also wanted to buy a spare umc as well to have in case there is a problem with the gen2 that was out which only does 32a on a nema 14-50, so I bought a second one used which was a gen 1 instead which does a full 40a. Why settle for less speed and capability.

In Europe we didn't have this problem. Tesla have the same CCS combo 2 connector from other cars.

I spoke with Rivian support who said that if there is any battery issue, and they can see that a non Rivian adaptor was used to charge the Rivian, that the warranty for the battery would be void. Are these things at least 99.99% sure that they won’t cause any issues and even if they don’t and the Rivian battery has an issue totally unrelated, your battery warranty would be void having used this 3rd party piece of equipment.

I wonder what would happen if you plug that in to a Supercharger?! I know it has 40 AMP limit. Just wondering, I'm charging mine with charge point charger, finally no need for the adapters ;)

These big 135kWh batteries are getting to the actual limits of home charging. Up until now you could ALWAYS be able to fully (0-100%) charge any Tesla, but now a Rivian would take 12-15 hours to fully charge. Interesting. Fine in 99.99% of cases, but interesting.
