Meet the Vortex Plus. UL 2252 Certified. Automaker Approved. Built for Safer Supercharging.
When Tesla opened its Supercharger network to leading automakers like Ford and GM, electric vehicle (EV) enthusiasts waited with bated breath, anticipating a major shift in the EV industry. Opt-in lists for complimentary NACS to CCS adapters saw months-long backlogs. EV owners closely followed updates from their dealers on when they’d be granted Supercharger access.
Across forums and Reddit threads, those who feared missing out searched for workarounds, like jumping the gun with borrowed adapters or uncertified gear. All while Tesla’s latest Superchargers were pushing out up to 500 amps of direct current at 1,000 volts.
That’s no joke. At those power levels, even a minor failure (such as a loose connection, poor contact, or low-grade components) can result in heat damage, charging interruption, or worse.
Not All Chargers (and Adapters) Are Created Equal
In California’s Bay Area, a study revealed that 1 in 4 chargers simply don’t work as intended. That’s already frustrating. But when you add high-power DC fast charging to the mix, poor adapter quality can turn from inconvenient to unsafe.
When you’re dealing with Tesla Superchargers capable of delivering massive currents, the quality of your adapter can make or break your charging experience.
The Hidden Risk Behind High-Speed Charging
Tesla Superchargers can add 150 miles in just 15 minutes, but only if your adapter and vehicle can handle the heat, literally and figuratively.
At these charge rates, safety isn’t optional. A weak connection, improper fit, or subpar materials can lead to overheating, arcing, disconnection mid-charge, or worse, potential damage to your vehicle or charging port
You wouldn’t plug a $60,000 EV into a charger with questionable safety, right?
The Vortex Plus: Certified Safe. Built for Confidence.
Enter the Lectron Vortex Plus, the first publicly available NACS to CCS adapter to be UL 2252 certified by SGS, a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
UL 2252 is the gold standard for EV charging safety, validating a product’s electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance under extreme conditions. In other words, you can trust it to work safely and reliably, every time.
Just like the original Vortex Plug, the Vortex Plus is rated for 500 amps and 1,000 volts, making it fully capable of ultra-fast charging. But it goes one step further. The automaker approved design has an added secure interlock system that locks the adapter firmly into place once connected.
This helps:
-
Prevent accidental disconnections
-
Minimize heat build-up
-
Ensure stable power delivery every time you charge
And when you’re handling the electrical equivalent of a firehose, that kind of protection is absolutely essential.
The Safer Choice for a Powerful Network
Let’s face it. You’re plugging your EV into one of the most powerful fast charging networks in the world. Why trust that connection to anything less than the best?
The Lectron Vortex Plus was designed for the exact moment when you finally get Supercharger access, and you want to charge with confidence.
Don’t just go fast. Go safe.
