I bought an A2Z adapter back in June and have not used it. It has the DC
supercharger capability from Tesla and I sent it to a friend in Indiana since
he bought a 2023 Mach E GT in South Carolina and had to drive it home to
Indiana. Not sure he even used it, but I know many on the Facebook Mach E
group have used the adapters and haven't had any issues. I charge my 2023 Mach
E Premium AWD most of the time at a ChargePoint in Kent, Ohio at work that has
10 cents/KwHr rates which is cheaper than 12 at home. Not a big difference,
but why not since I only drive 44 miles per day usually. I've been averaging
about 100 MPGe on this vehicle with those rates. I still have my 2000 Honda
Insight Citrus that gets 66 MPG and weighs 1900 lbs. The Mach E is close to 5k
lbs and drives much better. This is a huge vehicle compared to what I have
driven in the past, but it's cheaper to drive the Mach E on electric. I will
drive the Insight on the bad winter days in NE Ohio since it's all aluminum and
still looks new at 24 years old, need to keep the Mach E nice.

Has anyone here gotten one of these third-party adapters?
If so, how's it working for you?
