EVCARS Charging Adapter

The EVCARS charging adapter is designed to connect J1772-supporting plugs to Tesla chargers but does not work with the Gen 3 superchargers (but the advert does state which charging ports are and aren’t compatible with this adapter). The adapt also includes an anti-dropping mechanism, which essentially locks the plug into the adapter unless unlocked by the user. At $159.99, this is more expensive than the LECTRON adapter. Customers have stated that the simplicity of the adapter makes it easier to use but some have complained about it not working with the Gen 3 superchargers (even though it is stated on the advert.)
