50kW in the U.S. - Oh - except maybe at your local Hyundai dealership soon, they'll bring 100kW. That said, Chademo does do 100kW in the European community too, in many places .
True - same price in the U.S. And aren't the Japanese versions 50 hertz?
Dual chargers have nothing to do with CHAdeMO. The former is for AC charging only, either HPWCs at >40A or the uncommon J1772s at >40A. CHAdeMO is a direct DC connection to the battery, similar to supercharging but at less than 1/2 the rate. I don't think CHAdeMO adapter is a "must have". Many folks have traveled cross country using superchargers alone. Plan the route you want to take and see if it's adequately covered by superchargers. If not, look on Plugshare to see what other charging options you have for the gaps, such as CHAdeMO. Then make your decision based on that.
actually - turning on your area - there are 100kW CHAdeMO networks in some areas
Has anyone ever charged at 100kW at a CHAdeMO in the U.S.? It must be as rare as a unicorn. You're much more likely to find a CHAdeMO limited to 25kW than one that puts out more than 50 kW. I stand by my "less than half the rate".
I have had 80+ momentarily a few times but fairly rapid drop to ~50kW is my typical. Your "less than half" statement is absolutely correct IMHO with the sole exception being that Supercharger can be slow too, when A and B are both occupied with both initiating about the same time so tapering does not resolve conflict. That situation is, in my experience, pretty rare if your in a location where CHAdeMO represents a likely choice. I use CHAdeMO often, though much less as the supercharger network expands.
so 100kW chademo's are a moot point then, as even if you come across the super rare 100kw CHAdeMO - the Tesla adapter becomes a sort of limiter? Maybe soon it'll be time for a Rev B adapter?Nope. Check out the picture below of the adapter nameplate. 125A Max. That equates to about 50 kW at a pack voltage of 380-400 volts.
