# Tesla and accessory maker EVject find common ground

> Tesla and aftermarket accessory maker EVject have reached an agreement regarding the safety of their Escape Connectors. EVject will recall its V1.0 and V1.1 connectors and replace them with V1.2 connectors featuring built-in thermal protection. This decision follows Tesla's lawsuit claiming safety issues with the original products. EVject aims to maintain good partnerships with Tesla and customers will receive complimentary upgrades. The V1.2 connectors will ship later this year with advanced thermal sensors for enhanced safety during charging.

It appears that Tesla and aftermarket accessory maker EVject have come to an agreement. In a recent email reportedly sent by the accessory maker to its customers, EVject stated that it would be recalling its V1.0 and V1.1 Escape Connectors and replacing them with V1.2 connectors, which includes built-in thermal protection.

Tesla filed a lawsuit against EVject over allegations that the company’s product, which allows drivers to disconnect and drive away from a Supercharger without leaving their cabin, was unsafe due to its lack of overtemperature protection. As part of its lawsuit, Tesla looked to ban EVject Escape Connectors from being imported into the United States.

Tesla’s lawsuit received polarizing reactions from EV community members, many of whom urged the company to work with the aftermarket accessory maker since the product serves a vital role in keeping owners feel more secure during Supercharging sessions. Tesla CEO Elon Musk himself addressed the community’s concerns, stating that he would be investigating the matter. Considering EVject’s recent communication to its customers, it would appear that Musk’s investigation has borne fruit.

EVject noted in its communication to its customers that it wants to be “good partners with Tesla.” The accessory maker also noted that it is recalling its V1.0 and V1.1 Escape Connectors. Instead, the company would now be selling its V1.2 Escape Connector, which fully meets Tesla’s standards. The V1.2 connector is expected to start shipping later this year.

“The EVject Escape Connector is evolving to meet the latest safety standards. Our upcoming version will feature advanced thermal sensors to enhance safety during charging. These improvements will help prevent potential hazards and ensure optimal charging performance. Upcoming version (v1.2) will include: (1) Advanced thermal sensors for enhanced safety; (2) Improved temperature monitoring; and (3) Compliance with the latest charging recommendations,” the company noted.

Customers who have purchased EVject V1.0 and V1.1 Escape Connectors will be getting a complimentary upgrade to a V1.2 connector. The accessory maker is asking its customers to return their V1.0 and V1.1 connectors, after which they will receive credit to purchase a V1.2 Escape Connector when it becomes available.

“Per Tesla’s request, we have discontinued the sale of V1.0 and V1.1 and are offering a complimentary upgrade to EVject Supervised V1.2, which includes built-in thermal protection, and works with all current Tesla charging options and vehicles,” the accessory maker reportedly noted in its email.

Tesla Charging acknowledged EVject’s Escape Connector recall in a post on its official social media account on X. “Tesla and OEMs will keep working with the industry to provide safe adapters and develop common sense regulatory standards,” Tesla Charging wrote in its post on X.
