    This is the official retrofit of model 3 CCS been announced?

    It was $475 CAD + GST tax (I'm in Alberta, Canada). It should be indicated on the Tesla store page for the CCS Adapter in your region. This included the ECU, the Tesla CCS1 adapter, and installation, all in. You don't buy the upgrade from the web store, instead go to your app and request...

    This is the official retrofit of model 3 CCS been announced?

    Just had it done today by Tesla mobile service on my 2018 Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor. It's a simple ECU update. The retrofit kit is part number 1652005-00-A - "KIT, RETROFIT, M3, PRE-BUSBAR, CCS1" Inside is the Tesla CCS adapter and a new ECU The ECU is part 1537264-09-B Rev 01 (Seems to...

    Traffic in these areas is probably too small to warrant more than 4 stalls. Below is from the Alberta Traffic Volume Annual Average Daily Traffic counts, which counts daily 2-way traffic volumes, https://www.alberta.ca/highway-traffic-counts Highway 43 just South of Valleyview had 3560...

    Supercharger - Valleyview, AB

    You're right, the meter is on the transformer in Milk River. My photos of the site were obscured by Teslas :p . On my photos it did look like something was on that side of the add-on box, but looking at them more closely it more appears to be a label or nameplate with some black markings but...

    Supercharger - Valleyview, AB

    Most of the Western Canada Superchargers (recent are 6+) do have a seperate switch cabinet. My pictures from Milk River aren"t clear either (it also has 2 Tesla's obscuring it) but it's meter (and probably breakers) are on a big box bolted on the left side of the Supercharger cabinet (you can...

    Supercharger - Valleyview, AB

    The Flo SmartDC that PB2000 is referring to is a 50 kW DC fast charger (L3 not L2) but these concrete footings are nowhere close to that size (large and square, not thin and rectangular) nor is the work area large enough for 8 charging stalls. A recent example is Kindersley SK...

    Extra Box Mounted On Top of v2 Supercharger Cabinet

    Those were there before (or at least in April 2019 when I had photos from there), they aren't new. It could be voltage conversion autotransformers if the utility doesn't have a 480V option - almost all Western Canada Superchargers have these (usually ground mounted though) to convert the 600V...

    Supercharger - Edmonton, AB - Currents Drive Northwest

    It is! All the stalls are installed, fencing is removed. Looks like standard V3 Superchargers and pedestals, nothing unusual about the holsters. Supercharger Cabinet 2 has an extra box hanging off of it and is tagged "Star cabinet". There is no transformer or meter installed yet so not quite...

    Supercharger - Edmonton, AB - Currents Drive Northwest

    Looks like a lot of progress. The pedestals and cabinets are installed, and the electricians are working hard on things. They even have a nice tent over one of the Superchargers ;p Note: there are 12, but the trucks at each side hide one from each of the main angles I've shown here. Also...

    Supercharger - Edmonton, AB - Currents Drive Northwest

    All Supercharger. The pedestal pads are all narrow in depth, enough for a skinny Supercharger pedestal, but not a Flo/AddEnergie station. There's also no new NRCan ZEVIP grants listed for Tesla past the already installed ones and no need for them to install any new DCFC especially if they can...

    Supercharger - Edmonton, AB - Currents Drive Northwest

    Just an update, I was there today and spoke with one of the crew. It is a Tesla Supercharger with 12 stalls, and the excavation crew should be done on Monday or Tuesday next week then the electricians will start on their part.

    I have been checking the Canadian Tire location as well, as a decent DC fast charging station would be welcomed here by the EV community.

    The second Supercharger site in Edmonton has started construction! It is in the Southwest in Windermere at the Wine and Beyond parking lot at 6284 Currents Drive NW, Edmonton AB. This is just off of the Anthony Henday Drive ring road. They have installed the conduits and it looks like 12...

    Western Canada Superchargers

    This does sound like it could be Electrify Canada as they do have plans for Edmonton and they have partnered with Canadian Tire at the Calgary Deerfoot City location. 6 stalls would be reasonable, the BTCPower stations they use are paired with 2 dispensers per power box making this 3 power...

    Setec CCS to Tesla Adapter

    The Setec adapter hasn't worked on my 2018 LRD Model 3 since 2022.8.2 which was the last working version, or at least on the AddEnergie SmartDC 50 kW chargers which are prevalent in this area (and the very reason I need this). I'm not sure why other Model 3/Y owners aren't reporting this unless...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    EVHub is user @AlexUA here on the forum. His last post was Friday (link below). He's in Kyiv so probably has a lot of other things to deal with at the moment. Hope he stays safe. Glory to Ukraine! https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6491477/

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    @AlexUA is the expert on this (he makes the EVHub adapter), so he can elaborate, but from what I understand from previous posts: - You might need to have Tesla service (or some knowledgeable tech) change the car configuration so that it can use the EU ECU. - The CHAdeMO adapter won't work with...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    The 22K series resistor for thermistor correction seems pretty high if the circuit is the 100k thermistor (*or series-parallel for Therm3) paralleled with the 100K fixed resistance on the Gen 4 charge port. Even if the original 10K thermistor was completely shorted (so you only have the 22K...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    @FalconFour I was just looking at this to find out how to arrange the thermistors if it actually was 10K thermistors on Gen 3 charge port and 45K thermistors on the Gen 4 charge port, checking typical NTC thermistor charts, then remembered something from your previous posts after looking at the...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    While they are not the exact same design, they are functionally the same. They are both passive adapters that require your car to have the Tesla charging port ECU with CCS support ("CCS Adapter Support: Enabled" in the "Additional Vehicle Information" screen). The car itself does the CCS...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    It shouldn't have to be that slow, but there does need to be certificates exchanged through PLC on the charge port cable which is slow relatively speaking compared to Internet/cellular data networks, then the charging station needs to contact the charge port operator backend through the network...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    I would be inclined to think that it is simpler than that and that it is a second rev of the heated port which happens to have the logo in the same position as the original non-heated port, with the harness and ECU being Gen 4 with PLC, which if this is the case would invalidate the logo...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    This entirely depends on the wording of the final legislation which isn't finalized (although given Biden's bias against Tesla, there is sure to be any means possible to exclude them without explicitly calling them out by name). Once Tesla can look at the wording they can determine the best...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    Another thought/remark: Gen 3 has no heater output on pin 1 (INLET_1_HEATER_OUT), while Gen 4 does. Thus a heated charge port must mean a Gen 4 compatible harness and charge port is installed. This is visually identifiable from outside the car by looking at the lighted Tesla logo on the...

    Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach

    Sounds like Tesla could revise the firmware to use the Gen 4 on older Model 3 with the same ECU without any hardware mods or special versions. Don't error out on INLET_1_CONTINUITY and instead use it as a version sense jumper at least on North American vehicles without the second GB/T inlet...
