“When would you need the Lectron adaptor pictured above vs the other one that is longer and the max current is only 40A”

The Lectron with the cable portion is their older product, and looks/works like the TeslaTap. The Lectron you are asking about is their newer Lectron Mini. I am shopping for an adapter as well so I don't yet have a personal confirmation for you, but from what I have learned: Both of these will work for a Tesla home or Tesla Destination charger to a J1772 EV/PEV. Get the Lectron cable one if you have a Tesla home charger and are charging non-Teslas (can leave it on). Get the Lectron Mini if you are situationally charging from Tesla chargers. Good luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends on the capability of your car's onboard charger. If it supports 9.6kW charging or less, then the 40A adapter would suffice. If it supports between 9.6kW and 11.5kW charging, then the 48A adapter is required. If it supports greater than 11.5kW, then you will need a different adapter with a higher max current than 48A. Note that most EVs today don't have onboard chargers that charge above 11.5kW, but a few do, like the Ford F-150 Lightning.
