Does not work on e-Golf; needs two tries on Energica

I like the form factor, the size is about what I would expect from an adapter like this, especially compared to other vendors' products that are too big to fit on my e-bike (Energica Eva) Certainly. When connecting the bike, the connection between the adapter and the bike does not work properly - the bike starts to think it is charging with DC, then resets and starts charging with AC. At least that's how it works after 30 seconds and reboot. But on my wife's VW e-Golf it never starts to charge, the car reports a "no power" error. I asked for a replacement to see if the first one was just defective, but they both behave the same, so I suspect the loading protocol wasn't implemented correctly. I know Tesla chargers are finicky/proprietary (mine is v3) so I don't know who's to blame. Since it works on my Eve after a reset, which is the main reason I need it, I'll keep using it for now.

Pros
  • Garage & Shop
Cons
