CHAdeMO Adapter

He never had any problem for now

Is there a firmware in the CHAdeMO adapter? I thought it was only hardware.

Are you kidding? Of course there is. I'm sure only the very simplest of electronic devices manufactured today don't have firmware. In this case there are complex protocol conversion required, so absolutely yes it would have firmware in it.

Did he mention anything at all about a release date?

 

[nlc]

I asked but he don't know

According to a person on the swedish forums he was informed that the chademo adapter that he ordered together with the car would be delivered in Q1 2015... So I guess that's the current target for the european version...

Just in time for CHAdeMO's decline into obscurity to really begin...




I wonder if some day Nissan will deliver Leafs with Combo plugs rather than CHAdeMO, just as Sony eventually started making VHS VCRs.

That would be nice. The only probably being that Blu-ray (Tesla plug) already exists. Both CHAdeMO and CCS are archaic in comparison.

In Europe though, CCS is poised to be like micro-USB. It's mandated by law to be the bare minimum for public DC chargers installed going forward.

And that's why we need a CCS adapter instead!

I'm not sure if this has been spotted before, but while researching charging stations in VT on Plugshare I happened across photos of a Tesla CHAdeMO adapter in use in the wild.

I didn't think these were out yet - they're "Coming Soon" on the Tesla website - so perhaps this is a Beta? Charging station (which apparently also has a Frankenplug) is in Middlebury, VT:

Mill Street Parking, Middlebury, VT | Middlebury, VT | Electric Car Charging Station | PlugShare

I was surprised to discover that this is one of 8 CHAdeMo stations in VT on Plugshare, only one of which is at a Nissan dealer.

The Chademo adapter is now shipping with new cars delivered in Japan as of a few days ago.

 

[aznt1217]

Yes we know it's shipping in Japan, but what about the US...?

It will be great when it finally ships in the US, and also in Estonia which is probably the #2 country for CHAdeMo after Japan.

[dpeilow]

We have more CHAdeMO sites in the UK than Estonia now.

Great news (well, news to me anyway...), and all the more reason for Tesla to get the EU version of the CHAdeMo adapter in production!

Now the excuse will be that they are prioritizing CHAdeMO adapters for Japanese shipments, therefore US release will be further delayed. Just wait for it.

What's the Japanese version of Craig's List? Time to make some offers to buy in Japan; there are probably Japanese MS owners that don't need their CHAdeMO adapter much...

Do Japanese MS buyers get a CHAdeMO adapter with the car, or do they have to order it as an option?

Is the Tesla side connection in Japan identical to the US connection? I know Europe's is different.

It's the same as the US one. Only Europe gets a special one so far.
