Frequently Asked Questions.
1. Where can I find a list of vehicles that currently use the Tesla charging standard?
A comprehensive list of all automakers that have adopted the Tesla / North American Charging Standard
2. Will the Yellow Jacket Adapter be available in Canada?
Yes, the BeeCharged Yellow Jacket Adapter will be available in Canada, and you can pre-order it now.
3. What output can I expect in my EV? Do the same charge rates apply as they do for Teslas?
The Yellow Jacket Adapter is rated for 500A and 1000V. However, your actual charging rate depends on the Tesla Supercharger model generation output and your vehicle's onboard charging specifics. Charging rates may vary.
4. What is the voltage and current type (AC OR DC) supplied from the Yellow Jacket Adapter to the vehicle? Is the AC to DC in the car bypassed?
The Tesla Supercharger provides DC (Direct Current) power directly to the vehicle's battery. The Yellow Jacket Adapter is rated for 500A and 1000V.
5. Does Tesla guarantee that this will work with their Superchargers?
We actively engage with most OEMs and automakers to ensure the compatibility and reliability of the Yellow Jacket Adapter. It's important to note that Tesla does not offer guarantees for third-party compatibility. For the most up-to-date guidance on using non-Tesla charging adapters with Superchargers, we recommend reaching out to Tesla directly.
6. When can they use this adapter with the Supercharger since the functionality for the Tesla Supercharger is not active yet?
The functionality for Superchargers and non-Tesla electric vehicles using the Tesla / North American Charging Standard is expected to become active in early 2024. To coincide with this functionality, the Yellow Jacket Adapter is scheduled to commence shipping in January 2024.
7. Is the Yellow Jacket Adapter UL certified? Will this be certified by Tesla and OEMs?
The Yellow Jacket Adapter is UL2252 compliant.
