see Ev Charger Level 2 - Quick Charge PowerIf you want to advocate for Type-2 being the standard for all public charging points going forward, are you willing to advocate for them to be socketed stations and that everyone should carry their own cable like they do in Europe? This solution is the only elegant way to move forward in a mixed vehicle inlet market because Type-2 vehicles carry a Type-2 to Type-2 cable and J1772 vehicles carry a Type-2 to Type-1 cable.
The Tesla destination chargers are actually the worst thing for the overall Australia charging infrastructure development because they are Type-2 captive cable and it is impossible for J1772 vehicles to use them. However, in effect, they are the same as the Tesla Destination Chargers in the United States - they are exclusive to Tesla vehicles and the site hosts know and accept that.
I can understand ChargePoint's reluctance to go with Type-2 because they have no hardware product to support it. Of course, they will paint the picture the way they did in the letter quoted above - it serves their interest. IMHO, the number of manufacturers (who sell trivial quantities of vehicles) matters a whole lot less than the volume market share of each charging port type.
Yes, this is the forthcoming solution for Tesla proprietary charging stations. The ideal customer is someone who has a North American Tesla vehicle and a J1772 vehicle. Destination chargers are another application of this specialty adapter. My main point was that Type-2 to Type-1 cables are standard in the industry while Jdapter and the reverse J1772 station to Type-2 Inlet adapter sold in Australia require some additional effort by specialty aftermarket companies. Not even Tesla provides these adapters.see Ev Charger Level 2 - Quick Charge Power
Obviously US style but could work for Type 2.
No I think you're right on the money.
The good news is that the New Zealand Transport Agency has seen the light AND the better news is that apparently BMW has agreed to replace the charge ports on all i3s, and charge.net.nz agreed to replace all the CCS connectors on their Tritium fast chargers.
If NZ can do it, so can we!
Hi MDK,
I read through the link above. Just wondering where you have sourced the information regarding the CCS connectors being changed in BMW NZ's cars and Charge.net.nz's chargers?

I don't think it can be overstated how important it is that every CCS vehicle in country use the same connector. Having a mixture of CCS Type-1 and CCS Type-2 vehicles would be a disaster. AC connections are easy to adapt.Agreed Mennekes will become the standard in Australia. In the not to distant future new models will arrive with CCS Type 2 including Hyundai Ioniq, Renault Zoe, Renault Kangoo ZE etc. J1772 will exist on japanese models as well as some US domestic models due to the shizen mains supply voltages for a while to come.
You have your units mixed up. kW is the power being delivered at any instant. kWh is the energy delivered. 1kW, delivered for an hour, gives your battery 1kWh of energy.
Here's my email to Chargepoint, the biggest installer of J1772's ...
