Recommendations for AC Adapters

[moosetags]

I am looking to purchase an AC adapter to charge my R1T from a Level 2 (AC) tesla NACS charge plug. Can someone recommend a high quality unit for this purpose? Thank you in advance for your input.

I think TeslaTap is the best. Also the most expensive. TeslaTap customer service is superb.

I got higher capacity than I ever expect to use (80 amp), for maximum usefulness in the future.

Others speak highly of Chinese brands, including Lectron.

Best wishes!

I have had great success with Lectron 48A A/C adapter.

I just ordered the A2Z Stellar given the good review of their CCS adapter by State of Charge. Should have it next Monday to use on a trip in early April.

I've used this adapter for the last 18 months for dozens of charges at Tesla destination chargers with zero problems. YMMV

+1 on this one, used it several times with no issues.

One of these is permanently on the Tesla EVSE I charge my Rivian from every day.

Highly recommend the TeslaTap from this site: UMC-J1772 Store

The 60 Amp is all you need for a Rivian. I use mine all the time.

Highly recommend the TeslaTap. Very well built. I use it daily for Rivian and Hyundai vehicles.

My Lectron is now over 3 years old, and has been used at hotel Destination Chargers on three different EVs regularly over that time. Have never had a problem. (Heck, it saved my bacon one trip where the hotel had both J1772 and Tesla, but the J1772 were ICEd, while the Tesla were empty.)

I searched endlessly for one that was UL certified, but couldn't find one.

Ultimately, I ended up getting this one on Amazon. I'm not using it daily... Just a reasonably priced backup with good reviews. Correct or not, having one that supports 80A gives me peace of mind that there won't be heat or other issues at 48A. I tested it with a neighbor's charger and it worked flawlessly.

There is not currently a UL standard by which any EV adapter could be certified

Ditto on the TeslaTap. I've been using the TeslaTap Mini 80 for one year with zero issues on my Tesla Level 2 home charger (NACS connector).

I just bought the A2Z one with the DC adapter since they were on sale. Probably won't use it much or at all but it's nice to have. Although according to some my Rivian might spontaneously combust if I use it.

+1 for the lectron adapter.
@moosetags, as I recall we are both in the same area, you are welcome to examine and test drive my adapter if you'd like.
