Genesis Free NACS Adapter Thread: Post Your Updates

[EVsquatch]

Update: Someone on reddit in the IONIQ 6 section posted that they received an email confirming their free adapter and posted the email. They appear to be the first one on reddit to do so.

As per usual, Genesis as a luxury brand is taking a back seat to Hyundai. I'm still irked that those of us with 23 model years have HDA1 vs HDA2 even though they were supposed to come with HDA2 (some of the first GV60s off the line had them). Genesis pulled them because of a chip shortage but Hyundai was including them in mid trim IONIQ 5s in the 2023 model year.

The wait continues but at least somebody somewhere got an email....

My sense is that they have delayed sending out emails because they likely haven't secured enough production for the adapters…

And yet, there are reports on Hyundai forums that people have ordered, paid for, and received the adapter (with a Hyundai part number). It’s hard to imagine that Genesis would have a different part, though they might give it a different number.

Here are photos of the Hyundai adapter. Again, unknown if Genesis will have the same one, but seems probable.

Do you happen to know who the supplier is? Ford partnered with Lectron to make a version that is certified by Ford and is more robust than the non-Ford one Lectron sells. If Hyundai is making these in house, there will likely be shortages for a while given how long it takes to get parts from Hyundai/Genesis. I am guessing Genesis will use the hyundai branded adapter as well.

Sorry, I have no knowledge of that, though the box is marked “made in Korea”. Maybe someone will recognize some design aspects in the photo. Or maybe it’s a homegrown Hyundai device!

To add more info, there is speculation that there are two part numbers. Part AK401 (shown in the photo) may be a service tool part, while part AK400 is the retail part.

Searching on the internet searching for OEM Hyundai parts, I found the below. The website stated Brand "Hyundai," however there is the possibility another mfg. actually made it for them?​

Currently testing out my new A2Z adapter. Charging at a Tesla SC is so much easier than EA. It just works! I do have to say, though, I’m a little disappointed in the speed I’m getting. I’m at 65% SOC and only getting 44kw. Outside temp is about 65F. Is this normal?

Edit: After about 15 minutes, it jumped up to 97kw and holding steady

What did it charge per kWh at the Tesla locale? .55 cents?

Yep, very pricey. Certainly not something I would do on a regular basis. At that rate, gas is currently cheaper.

 

[Looney100]

In my neck of the woods, Supercharging goes for 85c/kWh, while Electrify Canada provides a quicker charge at 48c/kWh.
Definitely a last resort.

In California Supercharger prices vary depending on the station and time of the day. One near my house if I were to charge before 8am it would be .39c/kw (US) = .53(CAD), after 8am it would cost .59kw (US) = .81(CAD). If I charge at home the lowest rate would be .44kw (US) = .60kw (CAD). I believe in some other States in the US the rates are even lower in the +.20kw (US). Of the 50 States,in the US, California has one of the most expensive electric rates, which stinks. Gas price for ICE vehicles in California are between $4.99(US) to $5.37(US) per gallon! Would it be cheaper for you to buy a TESLA charging membership to lower the charging costs per kw? On my website in the US it states it cost $12.99 (US) a month for the TESLA membership.

Here in CT, I just filled up my wife’s car at $2.98/gallon.

Wow!!! At $2.98/gallon that's almost free compared to California prices, LOL!

Here at home in North Georgia, we pay 9 cents a KWH regardless of time of day. That is why I almost never charge out in town. We have only DCFC on any of our EV's twice in about eight years. The 300 miles of range we get on the GV60 takes us anywhere we normally go.

 

[EVsquatch]

DCFC is going to be expensive no matter what. The true savings is charging at home 80-90% of the tme. You have a high likelihood will spend more money charging then paying for gas on road trips but you will more than make up for it charging at home vs paying for gas year round.

As much as I can't stand EM or Tesla right now, I will use the SCN as a last resort because our tax dollars helped build it (EM used billions in government backed loans early in Tesla - the same loans he is now trying to prevent competitors like Rivian from getting). Also, the SCN in my view is fundamentally different because it is providing a service to all (well eventually) EVs and not just Tesla.

I'm getting numerous marketing emails from Genesis but still no email about my free adapter. I did test my A2Z Typhoon pro adapter today and no drama, it just worked.

Did anyone else notice this disclaimer on the A2Z site for the Typhoon Pro?

"Please note that third-party adapters, including our NACS-CCS1 adapter, are not currently officially authorized for use on Tesla® Superchargers™. Ensure your vehicle brand has access to the network before purchasing. This adapter is also compatible with 3rd party NACS DC chargers such as ChargePoint and EVgo."

I have the GV70 ev and bought the Lectron charger. I bought the car recently enough that I don't qualify for the free charger (although the dealer didn't realize that). In case people are curious It worked well with the Tesla Super charger in North Carolina (I think they call it V3 - it was the second newest one). I ran the car down to 20% before plugging in and it predicted 22 minutes from 20 to 80%. I kept it plugged in for 15 minutes before quitting (since I was trying it near my home as an experiment). It seemed to be about on pace or perhaps ever so slightly slower. The Tesla next to me was charging slightly faster. I got 27.6 kWh in 15 minutes at .51$/kWh. It sped up as the charge went on, perhaps because the Tesla left even though we weren't supposed to be sharing charge. My guess was that this came out to about the price of gas, but this solved my range anxiety completely. I mostly drive around town and charge at home, but would have been very nervous going 250+ miles without the Tesla network as an option since there are so few other fast chargers on my usual routes. Now that fear is gone. Also stopping for 15-20 minutes strikes me as little to no imposition. My previous EV would have taken 40 minutes to gain 60% and that does seem like a big imposition for a road trip.

Might be an unrealistic hope, but maybe Hyundai designed the adapter for handling 500 amps (I would think that would only be increased wire gauge and providing enough heat sinking to handle the current), but they only tested/certified to 350 amps since that's the max the EGMP platform could handle.

We have an A2Z adapter we purchased for our other EV (Polestar PS2), have also used it with our GV70EV and it works fine (as to be expected).

Just like Ed said about the Genesis GV70ev. Ordered the A2Z off Amazon for $179 and got it in a day or two, installed the Tesla app and added a credit card. First try failed because I didn't push the Tesla connector in until I heard the click. Lights came on in the GV70EV and I charged at 123kWh for 18 minutes (37.8 kWh for $18.53. ) We charge at home at $.14 a kWh, so the $.48 per kWh premium is just a lifesaver on the road. The GV70ev will make its maiden voyage in a few weeks to Myrtle Beach, which has been out of reach because the nearest Electrify America supercharger is 80 miles away. Thank you, Ed.
