Correct, I was speaking of J1772 charging stations, which I thought would have been understood in the context of the earlier posts.

CHAdeMO Adapter

He's looking for an affordable way to network the charger so that they can have automatic usage monitoring and billing.
The fact that Chargepoint charges double for an L2 station is insane. I'm really surprised that no-one has been able to successfully undercut Chargepoint's crazy expensive networking fees.
At $550/year + fees for each transaction, it's going to be nearly impossible just to cover electricity costs. I mean, even if a station is used 4x/day, that is another $0.38/session that needs to be added on to the cost of a charge. I believe the txn fees are something like $0.50-$1.00 on top of that.
This is one of those reasons why Tesla went the free route for the SuperCharger network.
Some would argue that a Roadster HPC is in the same family as J1772. (Some of the same companies involved, for example.)
Anyway, I wasn't nitpicking your assertion. I was pointing out that, once again, Tesla is more customer-focused than the rest apparently.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately this has little value in getting us to New Mexico or even a return from Corpus Christi to Houston. We can easily get there, but charging there is questionable.
There is a better way. You don't need it hosted at all. If what you're looking for is a payment mechanism, try Liberty Plugins Liberty Access Technologies
They have a pay by cell phone system which is much less expensive than networking the charging station. Then all you have to do for drivers to find it is list it on Plugshare.
Hi Tony,
Here are a few from me....
Rabobank, Goleta - 70 amp Clipper Creek
Rabobank, Santa Maria - 70 amp Clipper Creek
Rabobank, Atascadero - 70 amp Clipper Creek
Marsh St Garage, SLO - 70 amp Clipper Creek
They're out there, you just need to look...It would be awesome if Plugshare would realize this and offer a specialized filter...

Randy, Tony and others know about those 70A stations. Tony was specifically asking about where the 40A ChargePoint stations are that @Liuping referred to. The point made up-thread about breaker rating vs. output rating is the key here.
Cottonwood
Roadster#433, Model S#S37
And a couple that I have helped get installed are Clipper Creek, 70A usable current, 90A breaker, CS-90, J1772's in Salida, CO and Pagosa Springs, CO.
Indeed, it's very confusing. And until recently, most electric cars couldn't charge any faster, anyway.

Cleanup on aile 3.... I think this discussion should be moved elsewhere as we're already a looong time off CHAdeMO adapters 
And every time I see a new post in the thread I come here to check quickly if it's finally launched.

I just read in CHARGED magazine there are 554 CHAdeMO stations on - line in the USA and 1000 now in Europe. So an adapter is very much needed now.

I've used all those more than once, plus the Tesla Roadster 70 amps all the way up to Seattle with my Roadster adaptor.
None are 40 amp.
Has anyone got CHAdeMO-adapter in Europe? Last week I discussed with car salesman in Auto-Outlet (which sells Teslas in Finland, since we don’t yet have official Tesla representation here). I asked him about CHAdeMO-adapter and he told me, that they have one in their store. If I had knew, that they are so hard to come by, I would have asked him to show it

At the said CHAdeMO meeting in Yokohama Tesla rep also mentioned that U.S. style adapter will come first and European version will be coming but its schedule is not currently available.
