Good, inexpensive NACS >> J1772 adapter?

[beatle]

Hi all, first post here. Have an R1T en route to replace my Ridgeline and Model S.

I had a Lightning a couple years ago and I successfully used the Lectron 80A adapter with my Tesla UMC to charge at my home and family members' homes. I sold my Lightning and adapter a while ago though. I know I could just buy another Lectron, but I'd prefer a cable-less adapter this time around, and I know I don't need the 80A capability with the Rivian. I've read that the TeslaTap Mini gets plenty of fanfare, but I think there are probably some less expensive options that work just as well.

Lectron has their own adapter for ~$150, but I see there are a lot of other adapters available for well under $100 with a lot of positive reviews. I'm not looking for the cheapest adapter, but there sure seem to be a lot of well-priced alternatives. Any favorites here?

I have a Tesla Mini myself and love it. However I have had an incredible (service and product) experience with A2Z.

When an adapter is needed, I use:

• TeslaTap Mini for L2 charging
• Lectron NACS for Supercharging

The only three brands / model I would buy is A2Z Stellar, UMC TeslaTap or Lectron J-1772.

A2Z Stellar is currently out of stock.

I ordered the A2Z Stellar and actually gave away my Lectron adapter temporarily to a forum member to use. I would rather keep the A2Z with me in my Frunk and let the community toss around the Lectron to folks who need to borrow one temporarily.

I was debating between the 48 amp Lectron or 80 amp A2Z Stellar for similar price after "Riv" forum Discount code.

TeslaTap 80 was overkill for my use and that's why I decided to save the money and still get 80 amp A2Z Stellar for futureproofing.

Anything is better than using the trickle charge 110v.

FWIW, I think most of the charging I'll be doing is between 16 and 24A as family members' homes have 6-20 and 14-30 receptacles.

The A2Z looks like a no-brainer over the Lectron. Has anyone used an adapter in the $50-$80 range? Seems a good quality product should be attainable at $50. Tesla's own J1772>>NACS adapter is only $50, and this does the same thing. just in the other direction.

The "airbnb kit thread" starter has suggested GearIT as perfectly fine for the level 2 charging. It's a tech that isn't that new anymore. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/my-airbnb-charging-kit.24576/

Haven't used any in that price range use all A2Z...this wasn't something I wanted to save $10 on...Amazon has a few but I personally wouldn't use them.
