Good progress is being reported on the joint effort by the predominantly Japanese CHAdeMO Association and China’s
State Grid utility operator on their new common connector plug design for future vehicles from both countries.
Last summer they announced
an agreement to work together on a common connector design called ChaoJi for future use in Japan, China, and other regions using the CHAdeMO or GB/T connector today. ChaoJi (超级) means “super” in Chinese.
