Let's check out the TeslaTap Mini which allows you to charge any EV not made by Tesla at any Tesla charger (that isn't a super charger.) I recently reviewed Lectron's adapter that does the same thing but will no longer be reccomending anybody buy it due to it's consistent charging failures.

I agree. Don't cheap out on an essential component for an expensive car.
Great video! Really appreciate the real-time test with the Lectron for comparison. I've just made my decision on going with the Tesla Tap! Thanks!
You won’t regret it
We have a gen 2 Tesla Mobile Charger connected to our 10-30 dryer plug in the garage. Needed an adapter for our 2024 Ioniq 5. Came across this video after I purchased the Tesla Tap mini 60A, and I can confirm Ioniq Guy’s review. Excellent build quality and works flawlessly.
Don’t waste your time or money on the cheap Chinese knockoffs. I made the mistake of first ordering the Lectron, thinking I could deal with the hassle of the “Unsuccessful Charge” and then go in and start the car. Well, did not even get that far as the NACS port was deformed and would not fully receive the Tesla plug. Immediately returned the useless piece of plastic.
Buy American and support this small business that makes an excellent product. You just spent $45K-$55K on your car, $300 for the most important connection is not going to break the bank. You get a product that is built to last and lines the pockets of Americans, not patent-infringing corporations.
I think the issue is in the combination LECTRON / IONIQ. I’ve this LECTRON adapter working flawlessly with my Polestar 2 for two months now; I use it when parking in downtown garages. I’ve a J1772 EVSE at home.
Great video! I had heard that the TeslaTap had extra components but it's nice to see that up close.
This definitely seems nicer than the Lectron one, but regarding the patent issue, what exactly was the patent for? If it is just the concept of a Tesla to J1772 adapter, I personally don't think that should be something you can get a patent for. The only thing novel about the TeslaTap is the PCB, which Lectron didn't copy. Everything else about the product is just connecting the corresponding Tesla and J1772 contacts together (which both companies didn't even do the same way).
If I didn't have the Tesla Tap non-mini, with the cable in between the two ends, I'd get this. I did only spend $160, but it is obnoxious to store, tho not impossible. It's never failed me, and I've used it for all 3 of my recent EVs, for emergency charging, and overnight hotel stays. It may not have paid itself off in electricity, but has in the sense of always having a backup plan.
Only 2 tows from a wrecker in price, that's worth it.
What a difference! and with the smaller size i think its a great option to have in the glove box especially if you travel a lot!. Thanks for the video.
Excellent comparison, thank you!
Thank you for the info. Bought the 60amp directly from TeslaTap and saved a few bucks.
That looks great. I'll have to put that near the top of the list.
Very informative and helpful! When I get an Ioniq 5, I'll have to get one of these -maybe two, to use with my Tesla HPWC at home and my Tesla UMC when on roadtrips. I assume it works with the latter just fine…?
Great review, helped me make a decision, seeing how it fits in a coat pocket also was a selling point. Now to get the telsa mobile evse to round it off
Just purchased a Niro EV. There are public chargers, but none near me. Purchased the Tesla Tap! Thanks for your review!!!!
I just purchaged the Tesla Universal home charger, it had the Tesla connector AND the Tesla adaptator for my Ioniq 5 and it was just a little costly more than the adaptator you show.
What a great and insightful video!
nice,,, i was reading about gensis and they stated to not use other chargers on their cars ??
So is this one UL rated? You brought it up as a negative in the Lectron video but I don’t think it was addressed for the TeslaTap.
Great video. Do you have recommendation for CHAdeMo adapter ? Thank you
Chademo isn't compatible with CCS/J1772 ports. They don't speak the same language so it's impossible to adapt them.
Any advantage of getting the 80 amp version?
So I see you have a charger cable strung along the wall and some kind of wall unit to hold it. Is that unit a purchasable product or is it something you just rigged up? I see a lot of potential in cutting down on cable clutter with something like this...
Awesome review thanks gonna buy the Tesla tap instead of the Lectron
Really well done review. Would be great if there is a coupon code out there!
Great review and great Product! Can you do one more test, is introduce a simulated power outage (power down teh Tesla EVSE) and wait 15 minutes and power it up again, see if the charging will resume. The reason I want to buy one of the Tesla Portable chargers and the TeslaTap mini, with that combo I have a mobil charger with option to 115 volt or 240 volt charge and also plug into a Tesla destination charger all in a nice little pack as the TeslaTap Mini is so small it can fit int he Tesla Mobil charger case.
I bought the miniTap at the first place. The last thing you want when charging is needed is a problem with the adapter. It has to work every time. I saw to many bad reviews about the Lectron to spend my money on it. Good video. Thx.
I can understand your recommandation... Lectron for 180 Canadian versus your Tesla tap at 850 Canadian.... Price consider and the amount of time I may use it.... Definitely purchase Lectron
I did not recall if this is a C/UL listed electrical device?
Apparently, Tesla announced today that everyone can use SuperChargers soon. Does this mean I should buy the 80Amp adapter for my Ioniq5?
Do we know what would happen if TESLA changes firmware on the charger station and/or on the car side and then that PCB in the adaptor is no longer compatible?
Thanks for the video! Could you show us in a video how to use these at a Tesla site? What do you need from Tesla's side? How do you pay? What exactly do you do there?? Does DC charging working? Would be happy even with a YT Short if you're busy!
These do not work with Tesla superchargers. Only the smaller chargers.
Curious too
Can that adapter be obtained in the European market? You can see Teslas everywhere which is shocking here in Spain, we buy like we were sheep instead of comparing different manufacturers. You can assume there are quite a few Tesla chargers around.
Doesn’t work with my new Vinfast VF8 😢 at 48A. I have tried 2 different adapters I bought out of Amazon.
Can you email your Hyundai contact about the tumblers going out to owners? Really curious why some are getting them and others not and why now some are reporting getting organizers instead of tumblers.
I have the tesla mobile charger and hope to get the Ioniq 5 soon. Would you think it’s better to invest in a dedicated charging box or go with the tesla tap? I assume the tesla tap is reliable enough?
I think the TeslaTap is a good option. The Tesla mobile connector seems to be a really solid EVSE for the relatively cheap price of 200
Great review Corbin!
Hey dude, Is there a way to get you a percentage of the sale of one of these? I really liked your review and plan on buying it but in case there was a promo code or something that gets you at least something for the great video and great advertisement you’re giving this company.
Can you use it at a Tesla Supercharger? Since there are no screens how do you setup an account? It’s a good alternative when your are in a region traveling and there’s only Tesla Supercharger in the area.
Only level 2, not for superchargers
Only Tesla Destination Chargers (L2). Which there are 30k across America. Often in hotels and other locations. So pretty useful
Hey Ioniq Guy, your videos kick ass! I have a question, would you think its an okay idea to have the Tesla Mobile Connecter/Charger coupled with the teslatap mini as my main EVSE for the i5? The reason for this is because my home only has a 10-30 outlet, and I want something that is UL listed, as well as not pay for something hardwired as I may move in a few years.
For sure! That would be a great combo plus for the future when Hyundai and all the others finally have the Tesla connector, you won't have to buy something else.
@@TheIoniqGuy thank you! Much love and appreciation for what it is that you do, keep up all the hard work it does not go unnoticed.
Curious if you/anyone has tried the Telsa Tap (full size) and how well did/does that work? I purchased while waiting for my Ioniq to arrive, before learning about the mini version.
Full sized version works just as well, just takes more space and is a lot cheaper.
I used the Tesla Tap no problems at a Hotel that just had Tesla Home Chargers available for overnight guests.
My 2nd car is a Hyundai Kona EV 2020, would this work just fine? Thanks.
Yeah, it should work perfectly
A lot of people on the Amazon reviews find that the connection to the Tesla charging stations is much too tight and they have trouble removing it. So you didn't experience this? Also, would you recommend the 80 amp version for $40 more than the 60 amp version?
I didn’t experience that. 60A is more than enough since the Ioniq 5 can only accept 48A max
@@TheIoniqGuy, thanks. Yes, that makes sense. I did decide to buy the 80-amp model in case that’s needed for a future EV. I ordered directly from the manufacturer to ensure that I get the latest model. Some people have reported very tight fits with some Tesla destination charging stations, and TeslaTap has updated the design (on both the 60- and 80-amp versions) to better accommodate those.
there's no electronics in those I don't understand why it wouldn't connect/charge correctly everytime 🤔
is there any chips or transistor in that red thing in it?
Yes, the TeslaTap has a tiny circuit board that does some sort of handshake with the car.
So how long to fully charge the Ioniq using the mini with a 60 amp Tesla charger ?
About 5.5 hours
Unrelated, but how were you able to open up the charging door by pressing the squares? I’ve always tried but mine doesn’t open that way.
I’ve never had any issues. As long as the doors are unlocked just a firm press is all it needs
Mine doesn’t do that for some reason and it’s a Limited. I’ll ask at the Hyundai dealership next time I go in for maintenance. Thanks
Mine didn’t work either, but I put several layers of electrical tape over the “nub” on the door that presses the button and now it works fine.
@@TubeKingx Press harder. The squares aren't a sensor or anything, pressing on it just causes the door to click the "close" button which is inside the charging area. If it still doesn't work put some tap or something on the post inside the door to make it easier to press.
@@Chris28mmz yeah I noticed that if I press extremely hard almost to the point that I’ll break my thumb it’ll open. I’m taking it in to service this Saturday to hopefully fix it. If not I’ll try tape I guess :/
I bought a TeslaTap Mini 60amp and I can't plug it to my Ioniq5. For an unknown reason, it doesn't fit properly and can't click. I've sent 2 messages from their web site. I even fill the return form. No news from theta all. Is there another way to communicate with them? I really want my TeslaTap to work! I appreciate if you have any advice.
Call the phone number on the TeslaTap. That's very strange.
@@TheIoniqGuy I called TeslaTap and I spoke to Dave. After explaining my problem, he told me that an old batch of TeslaTap Mini was realy tight on the tolerance margins following the CSS specs. According to him, a few batch of Ioniq 5 and also Rivian had a ground pin connector 0.001 of an inch to big to fit the TeslaTap Mini connector. I had to use a reamer to slightly enlarge the ground pin hole on my TeslaTap Mini. Now everything works perfectly.
Great review! But it is a bit pricey and checked many website, they did 20% discount code before, and it is no longer valid. Can you please ask TeslaTap for it?
I asked the owner and he said he didn’t want to do one as he can barely keep up with orders at full price
I just emailed them, they offer 10% off for group buy of 10+ adapters
Nice! I just reviewed this too. Actually giving one away on my channel, doing the drawing tomorrow.
i think the charging limit is 10.9 kw,,, most tesla chargers are over that
Did you ask for a group discount code to give out? The ioniq forum got a group sales code and they took 15% off for a certain amount of time so I got like $38 off
I’ll reach out and see! I do remember that code being shared a few months ago
@@TheIoniqGuy 👍
@@TheIoniqGuy Any word from the TeslaTap folks on a discount code?
Yeah, they’re not willing to do one because there is so much demand
@@TheIoniqGuy that sucks but makes sense for him. Glad I got mine a while ago with the discount code
If only it wasn't $110 more than the Lectron. Hard price to swallow for something I will probably only use a few times a year.
WTF is the charge port on the passenger side!
thank you for saying that! would be so much easier if it was on driver side
$260.
Price is almost as much as a level 2 charger. I mean come on
You’re paying for made in the USA. They partnered with a Chinese company to sell a cheaper version. amzn.to/49K867P
💸Purchase the 60A TeslaTap here: amzn.to/3DtqfIx
Where can you get the tesla tap?
Can't find model - 225193 - could you please provide link. Thanks
259 is insanely priced. Sorry I understand quality differences but price wise it’s overpriced.
Yeah, I agree. Unless you have a use case where you will need it and use often then it’s a pass for now. This only helps you if there are no Electrify American or other options available.
@@AeschylusShepherd yea but I’m wondering if it wasn’t given for free if it would’ve been purchased for $259. Heck it’s half price of my level 2 home charger
I didn’t accept it for free he provided it for review but I’ll be purchasing it from him for full price. I’ll happily support high quality American made any day over questionable Chinese products
And when I say questionable I mean in terms of business practices ie infringing someone’s patent. Quality of the lectron seems fine for that price point
@@TheIoniqGuy yes believe me I wouldn’t ever question your integrity. I’m just saying he needs to get his price point down. He will not be able to compete even against Lectron. I wanted to buy his but the price point I couldn’t warrant.
Could you review the Shockflo adapter & compare itbto the Tesla Tap? It retails for $140 but the site below offers a coupon. It seems to be about the same size. It also requires the 30 sec pause after connecting the Tesla plug. th-cam.com/video/ofNCOyBTv7Y/w-d-xo.html
Besides the $20 coupon code from the above linked review, Amazon currently offers a $35 discount coupon, which can both be used on Amazon when you purchase it!
Ordered so I can check it out
Now they just need to make a supercharger adapter since Tesla opened up the stations.
Need hair!
