Tom posted his tests.

That would be useful!

If you watch Tom's video, note there was a little bit of controversy with Tesla being okay with this. Their recall on the original adapter happened due to Tesla asking for it and that could happen again. Granted, I'd expect refunds to be given if that happens, but just something to consider if you want to buy one once released. It does sound like Tesla is testing it, thus also a chance it never comes to market if they don't approve.

As for myself, Tesla stations I use are never busy enough to consider this. However, I'd be pretty tempted if I did a bunch of long distance driving in California or other areas where the stations get packed. (Remember, this is not just about curtesy to others; if tesla's park every other spot, you can get blocked that way unless the right end one is open.)

 

[Leaf to Lightning : )]

all my experiences with Tesla units have been in the 120-130 kwh range... and although you might get 150-170 at EA units, I find the experience at the Superchargers to be so easy, reliable, and without worry or concern that it will 'work'... I can't say that about my experiences for the first 18 months or so with all the other charger providers...
Mostly, I'm not that worried about the highest 'speed'... so, relaxing and enjoying the experience at the numerous numbers of units at Tesla locations makes for a more comfortable feeling... even when towing our camper.

I've supercharged my Lightning dozens of times in US and Canada.
Typically see 170 kW peak, sometimes 177 kW, average 125 kW over a 30 minute charge.

EA is not faster in my experience, have charged a dozen times on EA and many times the peak is 130 kW or lower, even on 350 kW stations.

Re: extension cord not needed at superchargers, that's mostly true in my experience, but I needed to wait 15 minutes the other day to test my new A2Z Typhoon Pro at a local supercharger which had a single stall free, when I needed two side by side to angle my truck to charge.

As someone who has charged numerous times at Telsa and EA, I can state I usually get more consistent max speeds of 160-180 kw on Tesla, not EA particularly in very cold weather.

I used my Typhoon Pro for the first time yesterday (Charlottetown, PEI 2 times). 188kW! The new Typhoon Pro is a lot better than the original, but when unplugging, you need to remove the Tesla plug first and then remove the adapter because sometimes the adapter will get locked onto the Tesla plug, and you will need to plug it back into the truck to get it to release.

Also charged at an Electrify Canada station twice yesterday. Could only get 90kW - it seems they’ve throttled this location since the initial opening last September.
