[EU] CHAdeMO charging issue

[widodh]

I've got a new S100D since September this year, but I haven't been able to use it with my CHAdeMO adapter. This adapter works just fine on my S85 from 2013, but it won't work on my new Model S.

I tried it recently at Fastned: Fastned



As my car set set to Dutch, let me translate: "Charging cable not properly connected, fully insert the cable"

I tried to remove it a couple of times, pushed a bit harder, no luck.

At the Fastned charging stations there are also CHAdeMO adapters provided by them, so I tried that one. Did not work either.

Did anybody else experience this?

I suspect you have the Mk1 Chademo adapter, they have updated it and the new Mk2 version works for all cars. I can't remember the year of change over but 2013 was defiantly a Mk1 era.

Could be, by adapter is very old indeed.

But it seems to work now with my 100D after many tries. I am not sure if its reliable though.

I went through a batch of Mk2 adapters as the first 4 I tried would not even latch with the charging station plug at 8 different stations, looked like QC checks were not carried out properly.

Is yours a pre facelift 100D? Not sure but that may well be the change over point to the Mk2 adapter.

My 100D is from June this year. It is odd that suddenly my adapter started to work after having so many issues with it.
