Hi Lawrence, I am happy to see you so enthusiast, but you realize that this is just a plug converter, similar to when you travel to Europe and need a little plastic box to plug in your flat blade US laptop or USB charger, and insert the converter’s round pins into the EU outlet. Same here – the 5 pin Tesla UMC charger is fully J1772 compliant with exception of using a sleeker plug. You get the exact same result if you cut off the Tesla plug from the UMC and attach a 80 Amp capable J1772 plug. In fact, some people have done that to charge their EV with J1772 plug faster with the UMC. Not sure why this would be disruptive – it is not like it would allow a regular EV charge at a Supercharger, that would be disruptive… It is handy to be able to plug into the alternative of the ubiquitous J1772 chargers that can be used by all EVs, including Teslas, and allow the regular EV to utilize the Tesla dedicated L2 chargers.

Truly disruptive technology!With Tesla’s massive charging network buildup of “Destination Chargers” at Hotels, motels,B&B’s nationwide you now can plug-in to their connectors everywhere using only this adapter.Driving a conversion, or other non-Tesla is now easier than ever! This unit will convert the Tesla High PowerWall Connection (HPWC) to your standard J-1772 inlet and give you a boosted charge. Available in 32, 40, 50and 80 Amp flavors (top image) with varying length cables. Using one of these — plan your next trip with ease!Visit http://www.umc-j1772.com/ or call Dave at 1 805 886-5213 I had a talk with the inventor. Turns out there is a clone that is not urethane protected. Also you have to read the directions. You must plug into certain Tesla devices and wait 30 seconds. Not for use with superchargers. I have no deal with this guy. Just passing on information. Lawrence Rhodes -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
