Tesla sells slow charging adapters... Usable at public charging facilities nationwide

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Tesla Korea announced on the 5th that it will begin selling the 'J1772 Slow Charging Adapter' starting from the 10th.

The J1772 Slow Charging Adapter is an adapter that allows Tesla vehicles to be charged at public slow chargers. From now on, Tesla customers will be able to use not only Tesla-exclusive charging stations but also public charging facilities nationwide.

The price of the Tesla Slow Charging Adapter is 130,900 KRW (including VAT), and a one-year warranty is provided from the date of purchase. The purchasable J1772 Slow Charging Adapter is limited to one per Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

Sales will begin sequentially starting with existing Tesla vehicle owners. The first eligible purchasers are customers who received their vehicles by December 2019 and can apply for purchase through an SMS survey sent on the 5th. Customers who respond to the survey can complete their purchase via ARS credit card payment sent on the 10th and will receive the adapter via cash-on-delivery courier service. Starting in April, purchase applications will be accepted for customers who received their vehicles in the first quarter of 2020 using the same method as the first group.

To provide maximum convenience, Tesla plans to continue selling the charging adapters via ARS payment and postal delivery even after the first and second sales phases. Additionally, Tesla will announce the sale of the CHAdeMO fast charging adapter, which connects to public fast chargers, around April this year.

Tesla is committed to building its own charging infrastructure, including Tesla Superchargers and Destination Charging Stations. Currently, there are 32 Supercharger stations operating nationwide, offering fast charging through more than 180 stalls. Approximately 400 Wall Connectors are in operation at Destination Charging Station sites.
