I was at that same spot about a week ago! , I used the one next to Tabitha (Lautaro I think) , I don’t have a ccs combo adapter and it was my first time using EVgo , I did struggle a little bit for a few minutes and wasn’t the best charging speed, I wish I had seen this before! , Thank you for posting, definitely getting the adapter

Thank you. Great insight

Tesla still sells new ECU. Just picked one up on Friday and did the retrofit today. Took 15 minutes to install. Longest part was waiting for the car to reinstall software to new ECU. But now I have CCS capability and it works flawlessly

Nice video! Thanks for the information. I think I might order an adapter for my MY.

Had no idea that evgo has the built-in tesla charger. Great info. Thank you!!

This is so cool, might have to try with my 2022 tesla model y long range

Great work. Great video.

Thanks for this video. When I get delivery this month or next and get my actual vin number will order this adapter. Don’t think I will ever use it but you never know. I got my at home fast charger already set up so when I take delivery. Only thing I need left to buy is car mats/ the garage door opener adapter to be installed when I get delivery of car/ and the actual key fob.

Haven’t watched your vids in awhile, glad you’re still making good Tesla vids. This was helpful. 2016 S, I need a new ECU.

Great video Kim! Thanks. Anxiously awaiting my 23 MYLR (1st EV). Had a question on the EVGo as we'll be going from AZ to ME within a few weeks of receiving our new Model Y. On their app where you arrange prepay and mentioned being able to reserve a charger, does it show you the status of the station you are going to as in how many total chargers vs how many available? I would think it would be confusing to back into a charger and find out it wasn't available as it was reserved. After watching this, will definitely get the CCS adapter and activate the 3 month EVGO trial to give it a whirl. Thanks again!

Great video Kim. 👍 We own a 2019 MS 100D and are taking a cross country road trip this summer. We’ve scheduled the upgrade with Tesla Service and they are sending a mobile tech next week. Total cost is NorCal is $482.36 with tax.

Great video. The Ironic thing is that for some reason my 2015 Spark EV equipped with CCS does not work at those "Delta" brand EvGO chargers. EVgo has yet yo give me an explanation so I've been using just EA and Chargepoint DC chargers as of late.

I kind of forgot about the NACS (hehe Tesla) connectors on EVgo Stations. Funny they didn't mention it in the e-mail EVgo sent me about the 3 free months. With a 2019 M3 I blew off the offer. Now I have to check my next road trip with EVgo locations.

Great stuff. Unfortunately EVgo doesn't have 250 kW chargers in the North East. Not from what I see in their app anyway. They typically run between 50 and 100 kW. Electrify America is probably the closest your get to Tesla Superchargers in the area. With that said, I'll probably purchase the CSS adapter to have as a backup just in case.

I hope they come out with the upgrade for my old 2015 Model S 70d! Been waiting patiently.

There are some free ccs chargers near me which makes this adapter super cool 😎

learned something new, evgo has some tesla plugs, excellent

Kim, I currently have a 2021 model 3 SR +, I had to have Tesla service install retrofit it was like 300 for the ECU. I'm thinking about buying a new 2024 Model 3 LR. My question is will I be able to use my ccs adapter as soon as I get it or will I need to have to ha e something installed?

Just curious but does the upgrade increase speed of charging for super charging? I have a 2017 S and am thinking about the upgrade for road trips in a state the doesnt have a tone of supercharger.

Is the no session fee only during the trial? sux that you have to pay a monthly fee only worth it if you live near an EV go charger and use it all the time vs. home charging. charging at third party chargers I heard can be a hassle.

Here in Europe, the Model 3 and Y come with CCS plugs as standard - but wouldn't it be neat if there was just a Tesla plug in yhe left sidd _and_ a CCS in the right, so they would work everywhere?

Tesla need to start installing these chargers around more business like shopping malls, Walmart's, Targets, Grocery stores and at parks and hotels. So that when you are parked at a place you can get some charge in the vehicle.

My Tesla was manufactured Oct 2021 and I took delivery of it on Oct 23, 2021. It says ccs not installed. Assuming this means your statement about all Teslas after Oct 5, 2020 is not correct.

Where is the link to buy it?
