see the particular post…

some confusion as to March vs. June - but I see this as progress - maybe BYOA in March? who knows? Audi/Porsche should not be far behind…let's hope

but we'll have supercharger access by end of 2025 and have the choice of EA(others) or Tesla…this can only help the EV situation in my opinion…

This is too good to be true. I am sure there will be many hoops to jump through.
What adapter do you recommend that is available now?

i coulda swore the number of chargers across NA was in the milions now

I have one of these in my Macan's frunk…in anticipation of future BYOA supercharger access…so far I've not been able to use it.

I'm looking forward to trying it out - given that we know these Adapters are dumb/passive there is no reason to believe it won't "just work" - in handling it it's metal/hefty and certainly does not feel "cheap" - which is what one should expect/require if it's going to pump 150-250 kW through it…

I'm looking forward to trying it out - I tried to "trick" the Scotts Valley, CA supercharger into letting me use my own adapter (Scotts Valley is a MagicDock site) - but the damm software is too clever - it simply won't start a session unless the magicdock adapter is not in the holster - and once it's attached to the end of the supercharger cable there is no "release" mechanism - so you can't swap the adapter for your own…

Lectron also has an adapter I'd trust them, or simply wait for VW/Audi/Porsche - or buy a Ford/GM/Rivian/Polestar one - LOL - they are all passive/dumb adapters - they all should "just work" once the network allows you to authorize a charging session.
