Genesis Free NACS Adapter Thread: Post Your Updates

[DS9]

Just got an email from Genesis, but it turned out to be my monthly vehicle health report. So, still waiting on the NACS email . . . . .

Looks like Hyundai has released a part number for the adapter. I’m assuming that Genesis will use the Hyundai part (??).

Google:

PIH68-AK400​

The scam will be that we will get the free one in a year - meanwhile, feel free to buy the part directly for a cold $250 any time!

Received my A2Z adapter today. Feels very solid / high quality and comes with a nice case. Unfortunately, won’t have time to test it until maybe this weekend.

I received my SuperTap and TeslaTap Mini 80A today. I’m looking forward to testing them out. The 80A TeslaTap is overkill for the GV60, but it was a good combo deal. The SuperTap is quite hefty and seems well built. I’m looking forward to finding a Supercharger to test it with.

Does anyone have any idea why neither the A2Z nor the Lectron adapters are working with a 2025 GV60? The Supercharger bank shows in the Tesla App for the GV60 (a new development as of a few weeks ago). There seems to be no handshake. It just does nothing for 2-4 minutes, then says there’s no car connected. Thoughts?

I’m guessing that you may not be trying a V3 (250KW) or V4 (325KW) Supercharger

In the Tesla app, you have to filter to Superchargers that are compatible with your car, which then wouldn’t show V1 (72KW) or V2 (150KW) stations.

You also have to be certain to follow the start charge instructions in the app.

I have my GV60 in for its 25,000 mile service today, and they said a recall (he probably meant service campaign) was just issued for the car today that provides the new NACS adapter. However, it is on backorder, so they will give it to me when it is in stock.

Thanks for the responses. The Supercharger absolutely is ‘compatible.’ It didn’t show up as usable until the beginning of April. Is there any chance that the official Genesis adapter creates some sort of a handshake that other adapters do not? Seems impossible, right?

Correct, impossible. The adapters have absolutely no logical circuitry. They do have heat sensors, but those behave generically.

Couple things. Keep on mind, I have not tried mine yet.

1. Did you follow the instructions that came with the adapter? My Lectron says to plug it into the car and then plug in the NACS cable.

2. If I remember right, if you connect the adapter to the cable before plugging it into the car, it has been suggested you must wait 30 seconds before plugging it into the car.

Did you try either of those?

We followed the Tesla app’s instruction sequence and it worked with no issues - connected and started charging within about 20 seconds.

App says to select the specific charger (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B etc.) before un-docking the cable:

I thought the question was why the Lectron and A2Z adapters don't work.

Yes, but the issue is most likely NOT the adapter, but instead the sequence, presuming a compatible Supercharger.

We’ve used 2 different Superchargers without issues.

Over in Hyundai world, the campaign has started today. Maybe Genesis is next! See the poster for dealers:

 

[Looney100]

Despite your frustrations, you’re still way ahead of us Canadians. Hyundai/Genesis hasn’t mentioned anything about plans to distribute adapters here.

 

[Zcd1]

Of course, as has been mentioned before, anyone who can afford a GV60 can certainly afford the ~$200 price tag of any of the available adapters.

Not sure I understand the angst.

Speaking for myself, it’s not the cost, it’s the principle of the matter. Genesis has advertised to owners that adapters will be available, sends a notice of when owners can request an adapter, and then fails to communicate when they don’t meet their self-imposed timelines. When one purchases a luxury vehicle, they expect a level of communication and service commensurate with the cost. This is just another instance of Genesis failing to live up to the level of service of legacy luxury brands.

That being said, I was already leaning towards a third party adapter, so this delay just spurred me to purchase what I wanted instead of waiting for Genesis to get their act together.

No chance. I've already used my A2Z adapter multiple times - no problem. If anything, it's easier than getting hooked up at EA. Today it took me 4 tries to get an EA station hooked up, maybe 10 minutes of plug, unplug, plug, unplug. At least when it finally did work it zipped right up to 234 kw.

The entire design of EA stations and the interface leaves much to be desired.

From super unwieldy cables, to a very confusing interface to screens that wash out to the point of illegibility in sunlight, they’re a master class in poor UI implementation.
