The Tesla service representative told me that adapters (even Tesla adapters) are the most likely failure point. They can get hot and melt. I quit using mine after he told me.

"The user-convenient and secure Plug & Charge feature that envisioned with ISO 15118 enables an electric vehicle to automatically identify and authorize itself to a compatible charging station on behalf of the driver, to receive energy for recharging its battery. The only action required by the driver is to plug the charging cable into the EV and/or charging station, because the car and the charger identify themselves to each other by exchanging certificates which were provided beforehand via a certificate pool to facilitate payment.” That’s the ‘billing' bit that I mentioned earlier, the adapter will be passive so communications will go right from the car to the Supercharger or other NACS stations. As to the fuses, I think they are so rare to blow that you’ll be glad to be rid of an adapter that did blow, something really bad happened and could have caused other damage. If you wanna check the connection more circumspectly you’ll need active monitoring and w/o a power source you’d need a battery and that could die waiting for you to use the adapter so probably not going to have any built like that.

Dumb question, maybe, but assuming that the terminal is open to all EVs, why do they need to identify vehicles at all? If the user presents a valid credit card, or maybe an RFID card if you must, then let him charge. Credit cards work just fine for gasoline filling stations.

Yeah, this. Musk scares me. I can totally see him doing something like this, even if it means losing revenue. He seems to get weirder and more unpredictable by the day. Watching him flush ~$30 billion in value while making Twitter into his own personal playground was quite eye--opening. I really wonder if he's starting to lose it, maybe partly from overwork. There'll be adapters to CCS-charge those new NACS Fords and GMs - right? David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
