Customers value the compatibility of the J1772 to Tesla Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Adapter, appreciating its ability to charge Teslas at non-Tesla charging stations. However, some customers have concerns about the snug fit of the adapter in their Tesla's charging port.
For the last few days, I've been reviewing the Rexing J1772 to Tesla charging adapter on my Model 3. The first thing I noticed about the adapter is how small it is (3 3/4 inches) and easily stowable. Also that it feels like a quality piece of tech. This adapter allows me to charge at most non tesla charging stations. Such as, the free Volta charging stations you find at the supermarket, some Electrify America stations, and/or a friend's house that has a J1772 charger. It really comes in handy when you are in a pinch and can't get to a regular Tesla charging station. Or when your local charging station is full. I tested the adapter a few times. It securely fits onto the J1772 charger with just slight resistance caused by the rubber seal on the J1772 plug. Other than that, it never got warm and I had no issues at all. I also like the fact that it can charge up to 80 AMPS which gets you up to the full charging capability of the J1772 connector standard. Which is about 19 KW. This is basically a must have for any tesla owner

The Tesla charging stations are great, we usually plan ahead and have planned a route to ensure we can find a station in case we need it. We did our usual, planned our route on a small route trip to Palm Spring (from LA) and everything was fine. On our way BACK, all the Tesla stations were packed as a few of the stalls were down, and there was only 2 open stations. We left the factory adapter at home during the car cleaning, and luckily we had this little guy to the rescue. We were able to find a nearby non Tesla charging station and went to work right away. The adapter fits perfectly, we were able to start charging our car to hit the next station. It was no faster or slower than the factory adapter. It does feel a little tight/snug. I wonder what the design choice was, to make a snug fit so a clip wasn't needed or to make it a little looser so it would require a clip; probably for compatibility reason they went with the tight but no clip design. Some force was required to disengage the adapter. The piece itself feels sturdy, solid, industrial grade. Charged reliably, 30A 240, no disconnects. Works reliably as described and value appropriate to price, will recommend

This Rexing J1772 to Tesla Vehicle Charger Adapter can be used at any J1772 Level 1 or Level 2 charging stations for added charging options and convenience. On appearance levels the quality seems pretty good and the adapter is fairly compact and light for portability and storage, along with being rated for outdoor charging. We did notice that the edge in some spots was scraped and kind of scuffed, but after contacting Rexing were told that this occurs as part of the manufacturing process. Also, getting setup to use the charger adapter is easy as far as connecting it to the J1772 charger, but then pushing it into the Tesla connector on the vehicle is not an effortless, smooth glide. The force required to push the adapter into the Tesla made us pause at first as we didn’t want it to get stuck, but with a bit more effort we were able to connect the adapter to the Tesla and it did charge just fine. In comparison, the adapter supplied by Tesla inserts into the connector quite easily with minimal effort. We also mentioned this difficulty to Rexing who responded to our email by saying they were working on enhancing this aspect to ensure seamless compatibility going forward. Perhaps they will continue to improve in this regard, but I was kind of surprised by their acknowledgement of the current fit and no offer to provide us a solution. At this time, I’d hold off on buying this current charger adapter model until the snug fit problem is resolved. For storage, just note that this does not come with a bag or case so plan accordingly.
