Tesla Cybertruck Owner Achieves 350 kW+ Charging Using A CCS Adapter At A 3rd Party Charging Station

In the evolving world of electric vehicles, Tesla's Cybertruck has sparked not only interest for its futuristic design but also for its charging capabilities.

A recent discussion in a public Cybertruck owners' group on Facebook brought to light the ongoing quest for a compatible CCS (Combined Charging System) adapter, revealing both the technical challenges and community enthusiasm surrounding this issue.

This Cybertruck used a CCS adapter on his Cybertruck and achieved greater than 350 kW charging, sparking many to ask where he got it.

The conversation kicked off with Vadim V Vostrikov requesting a link for a specific adapter, to which Pedro Ferrer, the thread's initiator, humorously admitted not remembering the exact link, hoping for community input.

This exchange set the stage for a dialogue filled with curiosity, advice, and shared experiences.

Pedro Ferrer shared his experience with a high-speed charge, mentioning:

"I didn't stay long enough to see. I just needed a few miles to get home comfortably. I was pulling a trailer and the Tesla SC's were pretty full so went around the corner and these new Mercedes branded ChargePoint chargers were completely empty, and I was able to pull in parallel and took up a bunch of spots, so left after 6 minutes. Went from 10% to 39% in that timeframe."

This anecdote underscored the practical use of CCS charging for Cybertruck owners, highlighting the convenience of non-Tesla networks when Tesla's own superchargers are occupied.

The community's responses varied from technical inquiries to sharing personal experiences. Enudio Rivera Toledo and Bryan Billings asked about the specifics of the charging session, like the network used, reflecting a common desire among EV owners to optimize charging efficiency.

Jesse Gomez humorously noted, pointing out EV charging dynamics:

"LoL, won’t the time gradually increase as it gets closer to 50-60%,"

The discussion also touched on the pitfalls of purchasing the wrong adapter. Rico Clark lamented:

"I hate I bought the other for 250 bucks, and it's useless on the CT. smdh"

This illustrates the confusion and potential for misinformation in the rapidly growing EV market and CCS adapters that don't work on every vehicle.

Christopher Rodriguez attempted to assist by providing a link to what he believed was a suitable adapter from Lectron, only to be corrected by Benjamin David Cohen, who clarified:

"This is neither the right charger for a Cybertruck nor the right one for fast charging."

This interaction emphasized the importance of correct information in such forums, where enthusiasts and new owners alike seek reliable solutions.

Cohen later offered another option, suggesting:

"I have been told this is the only one that supports 250kw charging, but I have not seen any proof that it actually does it."

Cohen then linked to a product at A2Z EV Shop. This comment reflects the ongoing testing and verification process by users, crucial in a community where new equipment and technologies are constantly being introduced.

The thread not only showcased the technical side of EV charging but also the vibrant community interaction. Members like Daniel de Gaston expressed straightforward appreciation with comments like:

"That's awesome!"

While others like Adem Drova sought further clarification, demonstrating the collaborative spirit of solving real-world EV challenges.

This discussion in the Cybertruck group highlights a broader theme in the electric vehicle community: the continuous search for compatibility and efficiency in charging solutions.

As the infrastructure for electric vehicles expands, so does the need for adapters that bridge different standards, ensuring that vehicles like the Cybertruck can charge anywhere, not just at Tesla's proprietary stations.

The dialogue reflects a microcosm of the larger EV movement towards standardization and accessibility, driven by the community's collective knowledge and experiences.

So far, nobody knows which CCS adapter is right for the Cybertruck. Tesla's currently does not work and Tesla clearly states this.

What do you think about this Cybertruck user using a CCS adapter at a 3rd party charging station and getting over 350 kW? Does Tesla need to do a better job offering a CCS adapter for the Cybertruck and upgrade their Superchargers to v4?
