I’ve read most of the threads that discuss using Tesla chargers to power up the Clarity. And most (wisely) say you cannot or should not use a Tesla Supercharger.
But is that really true? I’ve pretty much come to accept that in regards to tech, if someone says it can’t be done, somebody else will hack together an ingenious solution.
Have any of you tried (and maybe burned up your car)? Can we hack the communications between the Clarity and the Supercharger stations to make it work? If we’re going to see charging stations with the NACS standard everywhere in a year or two, I certainly hope we have a way to make use of them.
Note I’m more interested in a “here’s how we might make it work” discussion than another “why it won’t ever work” discussion, of which there are plenty. I’m well aware the voltage differences, that the onboard Clarity charging system is smart (or sensitive), that there are NACS to J1772 adapters out there, etc. Let’s consider those to be challenges rather than locked doors……….
