That's who they were talking about when they said "Volkswagen's network". Electrify America's funding is from VW as part of their dieselgate settlement.Checking on PlugShare, seems Electrify America have one CHAdeMO installed at each location.

With the newest firmware, what has been the highest kW charge rate people with a Model S or X seen when SOC is low (~20%)?
Details are here, how it actually works and why Model S/X can do higher (actually it can do more than 200A, but the adapter limits itself to protect itself), but Model 3/Y can't.
You are confused about the urban chargers > 50% full remark as they are not shared.... getting about 78kW on different EA chargers the last few days....
When the v2 and urban chargers are >50% full, there's no speed loss in choosing an EA location. ...
Superchargers in urban areas deliver a nearly consistent 72 kilowatts (kW) of power, even if another Tesla begins charging in an adjacent stall.
To increase efficiency and support a high volume of cars, these Superchargers have a new architecture that delivers a rapid 72 kilowatts of dedicated power to each car. This means charging speeds are unaffected by Tesla vehicles plugging into adjacent Superchargers ...

From the Tesla blog and many other articles:
OK, it was just confusing because you said > 50% ("urban chargers are >50% full") so that is what I was documenting with references.i’m not, i just meant they’re always slow so i don’t consider using them unless it’s a busy weekend and there’s high usage elsewhere
Ok, seems that EVGO is on to the Setec adapter, and just issued a change in terms of service...
I would view this as more of a CYA statement more than a basis for claiming damages. You know, should your car be damaged while charging via the adapter on an EVgo station, if you sue they can point to this as a legal protection because yours wasn't an approved use.Ok, seems that EVGO is on to the Setec adapter, and just issued a change in terms of service. To quote the email I got
"Authorized Charging Adapters
For your safety, EVgo only permits the use of automaker-manufactured charging adapters on EVgo charging stations or with EVgo’s charging network (“Authorized Adapters”). EVgo prohibits the use of all other adapters (“Unauthorized Adapters”) on EVgo’s network and charging stations.
Prohibition of Home-Built Electric Vehicles, Modified Vehicles, and Modified Chargers
Similarly, EVgo prohibits the use of all home-built electric vehicles, home-built onboard chargers, and vehicles that contain personally-modified chargers (“Unauthorized Vehicles and Chargers”). "
I suspect they consider the Setec an 'unauthorized adapter'. Not that they could really enforce this, but I guess if you burn your car up, or toast their charger, they could have a claim against the user for damages. I wonder if this was motivated by both YouTube reviews and / or Tesla.
Yeah, I think this is happening for liability reasons. L3 charging uses a ton of energy, and even a minor problem can cause serious damage to the car, charger, and nearby humans/structures/etc.I would view this as more of a CYA statement more than a basis for claiming damages. You know, should your car be damaged while charging via the adapter on an EVgo station, if you sue they can point to this as a legal protection because yours wasn't an approved use.
Thanks. You beat me to the punch. Someone at EVgo changes terms of service also posted the contents of the email which I haven't received yet.Ok, seems that EVGO is on to the Setec adapter, and just issued a change in terms of service. To quote the email I got

Ironically, one of the earlier tests I did with the Setec on my Model S was the 50kw EVGo on the NJ Tpke, and it worked flawlessly.
This all said, perhaps posting on social media 'success' using the Setec on EVGo should be restrained
Suggest the testers help them with the wording on this. It sounds pretty awkward/odd.The price has dropped from $980.00 to $660.00. If you want to be a tester you can get one for only $460.00. CCS Adapter | SETEC POWER (setec-power.com)
*There is one CCS combo 1 charger, when the Tesla with US standard vehicle inlet come , then can not charge the Tesla . In this case , will need to our CCS adapter.
*Both two side with plug , one side connect with CCS combo 1 plug , the other side will connect with electric car vehicle inlet.

... My opinion is that at the "tester price" of $460 it's a great alternative to the $400 Tesla CHAdeMO adapter while the standard $660 is passable because of the greater capability and greater CCS availability. The "full" $980 price is way too much.
I would have guessed the decrease was due to the imminent release of their own CCS adapter...I wonder if this is why Tesla dropped the price of the CHAdeMO adapter to $400 (USD)...
So with the latest firmware revs, are there still a significant number of cases where it doesn't work?
