Title: WTB Zero J1772 adapter
Post by: codeoptimist on October 25, 2015, 06:11:39 AM: I'm the proud new owner of a 2015 Zero S, and I want to get a J1772 adapter so I can use level 2 charging stations near my workplace. (I realize it won't charge any faster; it's just harder to find available wall outlets.)

Does anyone have a used adapter they'd like to get rid of?

I made one with 5 C13 outputs from one J connector. I can hook up multiple zeros with quick chargers or multiple quick chargers from one J plug. It is simple to hook up, and the communication circuit for the J pug is easy to make it is 2 resistors, a switch, and a diode. With some simple searching you can find all of the wiring diagrams online. You can save yourself 200-300 bucks with about an hour worth of work. Sorry it is not exactly what you wanted to hear but good luck.

As Electronpusher said, you can make your own, but I would recommend buying a production item not because it's a terribly difficult item to make, but just for warranty purposes.

Of course, that'll be only to maybe a dozen early adopters at first, but those early adopters have chargers, naturally. :)

I would want to buy a J1772 adapter with a plug standard 3-prong 120V connector and quick charger connector.

Ah. I find it difficult to get news on that front - is the big "Hypothetically charge under 1 hour" thread the main source, or is there somewhere else I can go?
