A Rivian can charge using a Tesla connector, but not a Supercharger.Is there a adapter that a Rivian owner could use to charge at a Tesla charging bank?
There are no adapters that operate safely with a Supercharger, which is a Direct Current to Direct Current charger that operates at 400V or 800V and big current. Liquid cooled cables. You don't mess with that with an adapter.
The adapters that do exist are for Level 2 charging, which is 240V and current up to ca. 60 Amps, but in most households that's limited to 32 Amps, which is also what a NEMA 14-50 connector maximally supports. Google "teslatap", for example.
NEMA 14-50 is tied to a 50A circuit breaker, which supports up to 40 Amps for an EVSE (because an EVSE is a continuous load, it can only use 80% of the rated capacity by code).32 Amps, which is also what a NEMA 14-50 connector maximally supports
SAE sets the standards for the J1772 connector. The maximum current for a J1772 is 80A as per the SAE specification.Yes the maximum allowable current for level 2 charging is 80 amps or 90KW determined by SAE.
The Ford charge station pro is an 80A charger, which requires a 100A circuit,A little tangential, but I read the Lightning has the option of dual chargers for 100A
I is a standard set by SAE. Tesla is also limited to 80 amps (90 kw) for level 2 charging.SAE sets the standards for the J1772 connector. The maximum current for a J1772 is 80A as per the SAE specification.
A Tesla proprietary connector, which is not a J1772, can have a different rating for Level 2 charging.
As far as I know, "Level 2" itself is not a standardized term, but the common definition is that Level 2 is 240V AC charging at a variety of currents, versus 120V AC for Level 1.
it depends on the version. Some older models could be configured for 80A, but the current generation is capped at 48A.Tesla destination chargers are programmable at the installation to accommodate the current available to them. I have seen from 20 amps to the full 80.
Teslas are 400V, the more advanced Porsche, Kia and Hyundai's are 800V. Adapters are easy enough, Tesla has some for early Teslas in the EU going from Tesla to CCS, $200, to allow Teslas to use the DC CCS chargers which can be a bit bigger than Teslas, 350kW capacity vs. Tesla's 150/250. We see that in US with EA's typically having a 350kW charger. Teslas in EU and Korea and now CCS plug and socket. The Tesla/CCS adapter was good for 140kW at 400V.There are no adapters that operate safely with a Supercharger, which is a Direct Current to Direct Current charger that operates at 400V or 800V and big current.
I bought the TeslaTap to 22666, rated up to 80 Amps.I have used it successfully 0n 3 of 3 attempts. This is for a 240v tesla destination charger often found at hotels or in homes.There are no adapters that operate safely with a Supercharger, which is a Direct Current to Direct Current charger that operates at 400V or 800V and big current.

Nice! Is that on an R1T? What charging rates (in kW) did you get at the destination chargers?I bought the TeslaTap to 22666, rated up to 80 Amps.I have used it successfully 0n 3 of 3 attempts. This is for a 240v tesla destination charger often found at hotels or in homes.
Yes, on R1T. One of the occasions it was 4kW, ~9mi/hr, on the others, I think it was 11kW, ~25mi/hr.Nice! Is that on an R1T? What charging rates (in kW) did you get at the destination chargers?
You will see whatever the Tesla charger is enabled for up to the 48amp limitation of the Rivian.Nice! Is that on an R1T? What charging rates (in kW) did you get at the destination chargers?
