Genesis Free NACS Adapter Thread: Post Your Updates

[baker961]

I certainly hope the GV60 gets an update to enable manual activation, but looks like the software screen shown in the video is for a G80

That’s not what my G80 looks like.

That’s not what my G80 looks like.

The fine print in the video says “2026 preproduction Electrified G80”

Just received an email that our adapter has shipped!!

Same. Looks like it ships a week after you get the initial email. They went with cheap USPS shipping, but I guess we shouldn't complain!

The Genesis USA youtube channel has posted some videos, and one shows the Genesis smartphone app being used to find Tesla superchargers, and also used to initiate charging sessions at Tesla superchargers.

I didn't see the ability in the Genesis app to search for Tesla superchargers (see video starting around 40 seconds). The only Networks I can see on the app at Chargepoint, EVgo, Electrify America, Blink, Greenlots, SemaConnect. I confirmed I'm using the newest iOS version of the Genesis app (version 3.2.2 Prod). I've also successfully enrolled in Genesis Pay.

Just wondering if anyone else has the functionality in their Genesis app as shown in the video?

Communication feels like an afterthought. I wonder if it is better in the South Korean market or if Genesis is just bad at it wherever.

Also, I find it amusing in the video that they say the Tesla cables may not reach if your vehicle is parked improperly as if it is our fault that the spaces don't line up.

They didn't have the fortitude to say you will have to block two stalls to park at a station but instead equate blocking two stalls as "properly parking."

Pretty sure every other Tesla driver is going to view you as the *sshole but thanks Genesis...

It doesn't matter what they think, Tesla advises people in their own app to block two stalls when charging a non-Tesla EV. You won't be the first person, the last person, or likely the only person doing it at the station.

Regarding the video, autocharge via Genesis Pay is the one thing that would actually motivate me to set it up, should they make it available in Canada. I hate fumbling with charging apps and payment screens, they're so much more miserable than a gas pump.

I'm responding to the impetus on the owner to park "correctly" vs Genesis admitting the situation blatantly calls for blocking two stalls because this was never implemented correctly by Tesla.

I don't care what is shown in the app or on some reference page from Tesla in terms of parking. There is theory and there is practice. When you show up in your non-Tesla vehicle and block two spots your run the risk of an uninformed Tesla driver being irate if they can't charge (frankly I don't blame them). Look around on forums from other OEMs who have access to the SCN and you will see stories of people getting into altercations or even having the police called on them because they are trying to charge at a Tesla station in a non Tesla.

Most Tesla drivers aren't reading forums or updated parking guidelines buried in some update. They are accustomed to going to a station, charging without incident and leaving. This implementation, where some cars can't reach because of charger port placement and short Tesla cables, always was going to invite some amount of conflict and chaos. Given EM's MO, that seems par for the course.

I received my email a couple days ago. I'm in SC.
Sorry for being tardy on my reporting.

Just got my shipping notification with tracking info.

The functionality to search for charging stations exists, the ability to filter on the charger connection does not. Also, when searching networks there are only a few available, Tesla is not one of the available networks. Here are ones ones available for me: Chargepoint, EVgo, Electrify America, Blink, Greenlots, and SemaConnect.

Interesting, they reference needing to have a payment method registered with Genesis Pay. I wonder why that would be, since really you're setting this up with the Tesla mobile app... Starting, payment, etc.

Yeah, my app has none of this.

 

[ideutsch]

Neither does mine. They must have released the video prior to the new version going live on Apple and Android app stores.

 

[Cabbage]

The only advantage I see to this is it reduces the number of apps we'll need on our phones. Still have to use an app to start charging. I'm good with keeping Tesla, EA, EVGO, and Chargepoint on my phone until we get true plug and charge.

 

[SaratogaLefty]

My app doesn't show Tesla either. I am on 3.2.2

 

[SaratogaLefty]

Its been a week since they indicated it had shipped, but the tracking number they provided says "Label Created Not yet In System".

This is not uncommon with high-volume shippers from Asia. They pack and label the units in the originating country, which gets a tracking number assigned. Then all of the packages in bulk are brought to the US and tendered to the carrier, who will then show them in their system.

 

[SaratogaLefty]

Guess you were right. As of this morning it shows as being in the Chicago USPS shipping center. Expected delivery this Thursday.

The same for me except the expected delivery date is Wednesday the 14th.

Per a Facebook forum post, the Genesis version of the adapter comes with a little carrying case…
