"The cable is aimed at non-Tesla EV owners who often need to double park when using V3 Tesla Superchargers Tens of thousands of Tesla Superchargers are now open to non-Tesla EVs in the United States, which can make life a lot easier for everybody, especially on long road trips. However, Superchargers were designed for Teslas, which have the charge port on the left rear of the car, whereas other EVs might have it somewhere else."
"To fix the issue, a company called Hansshow is selling an extension cable that also doubles as a DC fast charging adapter, promising to make life a lot easier for some EV owners. The second-generation version of the product was put to the test by Tom Moloughney, charging expert and InsideEVs contributor. Tom put the first-generation product through its paces and found that it was a safety disaster waiting to happen,. He also tested the prototype for the second-gen model, which fixed all of its predecessor's problems."
"The cable is available in 5-foot and 8-foot lengths, and is rated for 1,000 volts and 350 amps. To really put it to the test, Tom wanted to keep the 8-foot version under stress for an hour straight, charging his Rivian R1S and Ford F-150 Lightning from a low state of charge, where both EVs ask for 500 amps at the beginning of the session. However, that plan didn't work out. The Rivian stopped charging after 17 minutes while usin"
An 8-foot NACS to CCS1 DC fast-charging extension cable from Hansshow was tested for use at Tesla V3 Superchargers by non-Tesla EV owners who may need longer reach than the short Tesla cable. Tesla Superchargers opened to non-Tesla vehicles in the United States, but stall design and cable length can force double parking when charge ports are not in the left rear position. Hansshow’s extension cable also functions as a DC fast charging adapter and is offered in 5-foot and 8-foot lengths, rated for 1,000 volts and 350 amps. In testing with a Rivian R1S and a Ford F-150 Lightning, the Rivian stopped charging after 17 minutes while drawing high current early in the session.
