Major Change in DC Fast Charging: Tesla Opens Supercharger Network for Non-Tesla EVs

TLDRTesla is opening its supercharger network for non-Tesla electric vehicles in North America. These vehicles will need an adapter called KNX to CCS1 to access the superchargers. Amin Zor, CEO of AtoZ EV, discusses the improvements made to their KNX to CCS1 adapter, ensuring safety and reliable performance. The adapter features flame-retardant casing, silver-plated DC pins, temperature sensor switches, touch-proof terminals, and a solid construction. It has been tested to support over 500 amps with temperatures remaining below 37 degrees Celsius.
