Anyone tested S/X CHAdeMO Adapter on Model 3

[EfficientWatts]

Just saw this on their ordering FAQ as well. English is Google Translated:

Model 3が利用できる充電オプションについて教えてください。
Model 3は、ご自宅での充電、スーパーチャージャー、ディスティネーション チャージング、およびその他の公共の急速充電設備 (CHAdeMO)や普通充電設備に対応しています。スーパーチャージャーまたはディスティネーション充電ステーションではプラグを挿すだけで充電できるほか、アダプターを使って公共の急速充電施設および普通充電施設で充電することが可能です。

Please tell me about the charging options available for Model 3.
Model 3 supports home charging, supercharger, destination charging and other public quick charging (CHAdeMO) and regular charging facilities. The supercharger or destination charging station can be charged simply by plugging it in, or it can be charged at public quick charging and normal charging facilities using an adapter.

Adapter is pretty much confirmed even more so. Now to see if it is a JP only thing or not...

When are the first model 3s expected to be delivered in Japan?

The Japanese order page says August

Chademo adapter now says for all Tesla north american variants!!

CHAdeMO Adapter


Even is listed in the model 3 charging section of the website!

So now the question is whether an older Chademo adapter works with the Model 3, or whether this is a new version that has Model 3 compatibility. It doesn't seem to have a new version number or anything...

 

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

Oh wow, it's almost as if Tesla waited until they were ready to sell the Model 3 in Japan, to give themselves as much time as possible to test it.

Electrek just now broke the story. Says requires 2019.24.1 to work. All old versions of the adapter work as well!

Tesla finally makes CHAdeMO adapter compatible with Model 3, giving access to 3rd party charging networks - Electrek

 

[Cosmacelf]

Ah, according to Electrek, all older Chademo adapters are also compatible with the Model 3. So it was just a Model 3 software update that was needed.

I called it, a long time ago. Japan sales would kick Tesla into supporting the existing adapter on Model 3. Now it has come true.

I would think with Tesla Superchargers not built out in certain parts of the country, and with Model 3s selling so well recently, this was an easy choice for Tesla to make, giving those owners already near CHAdeMO charging stations the ability to expand their fast charging horizons and it doesn't cost Tesla construction money in the mean time until they are ready to expand their own system in those areas. Win-Win for Tesla and its cars' owners.

Does this open fast charging up for Candian owners as well? not sure about the differences in electrical circuits between both countries.

CHAdeMO is a worldwide standard. So not only does it open up Canada it should allow NA Model 3s to DC charge in Europe. Of course only at 50kw but that is way better...

 

[Webeevdrivers]

Great news.

 

[RayK]

Well now, I guess I'm going to have to wait for 24.1 and then give it a try out at work. There's two DC Fast Chargepoint stations that I've been dying to use.

 

[F14Scott]

Did the math. In an M3D, that's about 185 MRpH. Not too shabby.

Does this adapter work for CCS chargers too?

Does this adapter work for CCS chargers too?

No, time to start (or find) another thread for that. Although most DCFCs I've seen typically have 2 heads, one CHAdeMO, and one CCS.

I'm hoping that adapter is way smaller and cheaper. Electrify America seems to be building out way more CCS stalls than CHAdeMO. I can hold out for a year at least if not more for a CCS adapter in North America before I'd even start to ponder spending so much on the CHAdeMO adapter. For now the Supercharger network works great for me. A cheap(er) (and smaller) CCS adapter would be great to affordably expand your charging options though.

CHAdeMO seems to be a dying standard outside of Japan.

Not yet. It would be nice to have that option.

CCS for Model 3 in North America

 

[SigNC]

I want to be excited about this but i must confess I'd much rather have CCS.

Well Japan deliveries are in less than 2 months, so they have to be getting ready for that. Could be some of the updated code is in place?

This is assuming of course Tesla is sticking with the current adapter strategy for Japan.

CHAdeMO only gies up to ~62kW's - at least until the Rev II vervion gets implemented ... requiring 1,000 volts. In the mean time - don't anyone hold their breath waiting.

Most rev 1's are configured to run 35 KW or even less. Still, that's better than waiting for L2 speeds.

I just bought the adapter. I travel to Arkansas a lot and with all the Walmart/EA sites there this is a very attractive option.
