CHAdeMO adapter wait frustration

[iHenkka]

The standards for CHAdeMO are like any other standards: there are many implementations of the standard to choose from. Tesla getting an adapter to work relatively reliably at all is impressive.

True.

It's a shame we only have DBT CHAdeMOs in Finland whereas Estonia for example is covered with ABB CHAdeMOs. With ABB you'll get the full power...however the cost I believe is twice as much and a bit more (20-30Keur), but what I can tell they are robust and meant to be running full blast 24/7.

And we don't have superchargers yet in Finland.

We have a very active Tesla Club in Finland and we started researching the issue with the DBT CHAdeMOs. Dunno if there's anything to do about it, but let's see. At least it'd be interesting to know the answers why it's limited, etc.

Here's an image of (ABB) CHAdeMO penetration in Estonia.. I mean, wow. (Hope the image shows)

Are the EU adaptors available now? I have been waiting for a few months but have heard nothing from Tesla yet... MW

A big batch seems to have hit the UK last week - I ordered on 30th Jan when the first reports of customers receiving them came out, and got mine (along with quite a few other people) on Friday. So if you ordered after me, you must be very near the front of the queue; if before me then you need to give them a prod!

Yes, mine arrived just last week. Been queueing for it since Sept 2014. Opens up a lot of new places to charge

In case anyone is interested in tracking the CHAdeMO adapter revisions, here is the Part # on the one I ordered last week and received today:
