Summary

TLDRJeff a essayé d'utiliser un adaptateur pour charger sa Kia EV6 sur un superchargeur Tesla aprÚs que Ford ait obtenu l'accÚs officiel. Bien qu'il ait pu initier une charge via l'appli Tesla, cela a échoué car le systÚme a détecté que son véhicule n'était pas supporté. Il espÚre que Hyundai, Kia et Genesis obtiendront bientÎt l'accÚs, mais en attendant les superchargeurs ne permettent pas des vitesses de charge complÚtes pour les véhicules 800V comme les siens.

Takeaways

  • 😀 Jeff a essayĂ© de recharger sa Kia EV6 sur un superchargeur Tesla avec un adaptateur, mais ça n'a pas fonctionnĂ©
  • 👀 Il a rĂ©ussi Ă  initier la charge en ajoutant un faux vĂ©hicule Tesla dans l'application, mais elle a Ă©chouĂ© car le vĂ©hicule n'Ă©tait pas reconnu
  • 🚗 Les vĂ©hicules Ford ont maintenant officiellement accĂšs au rĂ©seau Superchargeur Tesla
  • âšĄïž Les vĂ©hicules Hyundai, Kia et Genesis n'ont pas encore accĂšs aux Superchargeurs Tesla
  • 🔋 Les vĂ©hicules eVMP comme la Kia EV6 sont limitĂ©s Ă  100 kWh sur les Superchargeurs Tesla au lieu des 250 kWh maximum
  • đŸŒĄïž C'est moins rapide que les 350 kWh possibles sur le rĂ©seau Electrify America
  • 💡 Jeff espĂšre que d'autres constructeurs auront bientĂŽt accĂšs au rĂ©seau Superchargeur
  • ❓ Il demande aux spectateurs s'ils ont des informations sur quand Hyundai/Kia/Genesis auront accĂšs aux Superchargeurs
  • 👍 Il recommande aux spectateurs de ne pas essayer de contourner les limites d'accĂšs aux Superchargeurs

😊 Tester la recharge d'une Kia EV6 sur le rĂ©seau Tesla

Jeff explique qu'il a essayé d'utiliser un adaptateur pour recharger sa Kia EV6 sur le réseau de superchargeurs Tesla aprÚs que Ford ait officiellement obtenu l'accÚs. Il a configuré l'application Tesla en prétendant avoir une Ford Mach-E. Il a réussi à démarrer la recharge mais cela a échoué car le systÚme a détecté que son véhicule n'était pas supporté. Il espÚre que Hyundai, Kia et Genesis obtiendront bientÎt l'accÚs au réseau Tesla.

Highlights

Ford owners officially have access to the Tesla supercharging Network

I wonder if there's a way I could trick the supercharger into letting me charge my Kia EV6

Atoz sent me their Tesla to CCS adapter to test out if I could charge at a Tesla station

I added a fake Model Y to the Tesla app to search for nearby superchargers

I went to a V3 supercharger, selected the stall in the app, entered payment info and hit start charge

I connected the Atoz adapter to the Tesla connector and plugged it into my car and charging initiated

The charge failed with an error saying unsupported vehicle - you can't trick it

Hopefully other EGMP vehicles get access soon, but can only charge at 100kW now, not full 350kW speeds

Let me know if anyone has inside info on when Hyundai/Kia/Genesis vehicles will get Tesla access

I wanted to share that you can't trick the Tesla system into charging non-supported vehicles

Ford Mach-E can charge at full speed, but EGMP is limited to 100kW on Tesla network for now

Hope we get official access soon rather than trying to trick the system

Let me know your thoughts on more automakers getting Tesla Supercharger access

hey everybody technically Jeff here and

play00:01

today is a big day for EV charging Ford

play00:03

owners now officially have access to the

play00:05

Tesla supercharging Network which is

play00:07

awesome news for them hopefully some

play00:08

other manufacturers uh get access here

play00:10

soon officially but it got me thinking I

play00:12

wonder if there's a way that I could

play00:14

trick the supercharger into letting me

play00:16

charge my K ev6 with an

play00:22

adapter so a toz sent me their uh Tesla

play00:25

or nacs to CCS adapter uh to test out

play00:28

and I haven't been able to test it out

play00:29

yet yet uh I haven't been able to make

play00:31

it to uh an EO NCS uh charging station

play00:35

yet um but with this update I thought

play00:37

maybe I could I could try this out and

play00:38

maybe I could trick the system so I took

play00:40

a look at the Tesla app and it actually

play00:42

had a recent update where you could go

play00:43

in and you could add in your vehicle

play00:45

information um and then when you add

play00:47

that in when you search for Chargers you

play00:48

can actually filter for ones that uh

play00:50

work with your vehicle and when I

play00:52

filtered by ev6 it didn't show it but

play00:54

when I filtered by Mai I put in a fake

play00:56

Mai um vehicle in there it showed

play00:59

Chargers near me that I could actually

play01:01

test out so um I decided to make a trip

play01:03

out to a local supercharger it's a V3

play01:05

supercharger and I went through

play01:08

everything in the app you basically

play01:10

select um the supercharger station that

play01:12

you're going to you select the stall um

play01:15

you make sure you have all your payment

play01:16

information in and all that um and then

play01:18

you hit start charge and then you have a

play01:22

minute or so uh to connect everything uh

play01:25

with the dock um I went ahead and did

play01:27

that I connected the a toz uh EV adapter

play01:31

to the Tesla Supercharger connector and

play01:33

then plugged it into my car and then it

play01:35

started initiating charging so I got

play01:36

really excited I was like man this is

play01:37

going to work and then it failed um I

play01:40

didn't get a screenshot of it but it

play01:41

said unsuccessful uh due to uh

play01:44

unsupported vehicle so um it is talking

play01:47

to the vehicle you can't trick it in the

play01:48

app um by telling it you have a Ford

play01:50

when you don't actually have it um but

play01:53

anyway I just wanted to share this with

play01:54

you guys um I don't want you guys

play01:56

wasting your time trying to go trick the

play01:58

system uh like I did um but hopefully we

play02:01

do get access here soon uh to the

play02:03

supercharger Network I know at least

play02:05

right now the egmp vehicles since they

play02:06

are 800 volt uh they aren't able to get

play02:09

full speeds at Tesla Supercharger uh

play02:11

stations we get about 100 kilow which

play02:13

isn't horrible um it's it's decently

play02:16

fast but it's not as fast as we can get

play02:18

at uh working Electrify America 350 Kow

play02:21

stations so uh anyway let me know if you

play02:23

guys have any questions uh on this uh

play02:25

let me know if you have uh any thoughts

play02:28

on Fords having access to the the

play02:30

supercharger Network let me know if

play02:31

anybody has any inside information on

play02:33

when uh Hyundai and Kia and Genesis

play02:35

vehicles are going to get access uh but

play02:37
