CHAdeMO QC (just like the L2) depends on who owns it. They decide how much it costs - and whether the cost is by the hour or per session etc.Is the Chademo free, as someone implied? Only the Chargepoint next to it has the credit card thingy. Does the Chargepoint control the Chademo? I've never seen either of these before.

Ecotality/Blink is trying out a $5 ($8 for "guests") flat fee in California. They might change it based on the negative feedback, but it's clear those chargers will be changed to paid in the near future.CHAdeMO QC (just like the L2) depends on who owns it.

I don't see a U.S. CHAdeMO adapter as being high priority. They are only deployed in a few places around the country and there is no coherent plan for further roll out.
Woo-hooo!!! These are sweet words:
"A CHAdeMO adapter will be available later this year for use with CHAdeMO public charging stations"
This means European and Japanese cars (at least) will have an actual CHAdeMO adapter - it isn't a port that's built into the car. That means that once it's in Europe, it can be used in the U.S. as well.
Anyway, after the TesLive presentations it now seems obvious that Tesla will be releasing it in the U.S at the same time.
Nothing is more frustrating than charging at 7KW while a Leaf charges right next to you at 50KW.
Not necessarily. The European Model S clearly uses a different port (see the pdf document), so a CHAdeMO adapter made for the European market will not work in the US. European deliveries should start this month.That means that once it's in Europe, it can be used in the U.S. as well.

I think what he means is there are zero CHAdeMO chargers anywhere near him (Kansas City). In fact, the closest DC chargers to him right now is the supercharger station in Normal, IL!Are you serious CHAdeMO outnumbers super charger 10-1 now in the USA. Tennessee for example has 14 public CHAdeMO stations along major interstates and NO plans for any superchargers until 2015. Look at Plug-Share for more data.
Yes, there is...
Leaf plugged into the only J1772 in the area with an empty CHAdeMO bay right next to it.
(Leavenworth 2 weeks ago).
You are assuming the Leaf had a CHAdeMO outlet and the DC charging option (which it might not have had). There's a good chance it didn't have that option.Ug that would suck. I would check to see if the Leaf had any contact info left on the dash, that is the polite thing to do, the called them and ask them to move to the Chademo. If no contact info, and the Chademo would have reached, I would have used my fob to activate the Chademo and moved them to that to finish them up.

Plus there's plans for superchargers along I-70 on both the Kansas and Missouri side near Kansas City in the 2014-2015 time frame. No such plans for CHAdeMO chargers yet.

The only chance of places outside of Leaf-heavy areas of getting a CHAdeMO charger is if a nearby Nissan dealer installs one. But that does not necessarily give non-Nissan and non-customers of that dealer access to it.
In europe the chademo-adapter should arrive at the end of the year

My take from watching Jerome Guillen at TESLIVE is that there will eventually be a Chademo adapter in the US. He said he couldn't say, but... If you watch the video, I think you'll agree it's on Tesla's list.Erm, guys? Take a look at that PDF. Notice particularly the photos of the European car's charging port.
Any adapter produced for the Euro cars looks like it absolutely will NOT work with US autos. It's a completely different plug on the car.
It might be possible to just use the same circuitry to create a US CHAdeMO adapter with the connector that we're all familiar with, then again it might not. Depends what all those extra pins are for. The Euro cars might have other conductors or circuitry that enables CHAdeMO compatibility, but which is not included in the US connectors.
I sure hope it's an easy conversion, and that there will be a US adapter. I have several CHAdeMO stations near me that I'd love to use. But that picture really makes me wonder how simple the conversion might be.
Thanks for the link, JCSTP.
