eVgo offers CHAdeMO fast charging to Tesla owners – UPDATE

December 20, 2019 December 20, 2019

A few days ago I posted a preliminary report saying that eVgo has bolted a Tesla-CHAdeMO adapter to the side of some fast charging stations, to better serve Tesla car owners. There is an advertisement running on Facebook that leads to a page on their website. That information makes it…

eVgo offering fast charging to Tesla’s on non-Tesla charging station

December 15, 2019 December 20, 2019

In the North America Tesla cars use a proprietary charging cord, therefore to fast charge a Tesla car in North America requires using the proprietary charging cord. This morning friends in a local Electric Auto Association chapter (GGEVA) noticed that an eVgo charging station in San Francisco had support for…

Why doesn’t Tesla install CHAdeMO or ComboChargingSystem charging stations?

March 22, 2019 March 22, 2019

According to Tesla, the company mission is to hasten the adoption of electric vehicles, and in general the renewable energy ecosystem. Hence Tesla is developing what are regarded as extremely awesome cars that happen to be electric, have managed to build a manufacturing asset base allowing them to approach a…

ABB challenges Tesla Supercharger network with 150 kiloWatt CHAdeMO/CCS DCFC charging station

October 4, 2017 October 5, 2017

If the standards-based charging networks, and the automakers other than Tesla Motors, are to have a chance, standards-based high-power charging stations like what ABB just unveiled must exist.  The Tesla Supercharger network is ingenious only in the forethought exhibited by Tesla Motors to invest in a widespread high power DC…

JB Straubel says Tesla talking with Automakers on Supercharger network collaboration

June 21, 2017 June 21, 2017

Over the weekend, at the Midwest Renewable Energy Association fair in Custer Wisconsin, one JB Straubel, the CTO of Tesla Motors, gave a talk.  According to a report by Electrek, Straubel said that Tesla Motors is “talking with” other automakers about the Supercharger network.  Clearly the current situation with three…

CHAdeMO demonstrates 150 kiloWatt charge rate, may retain relevance in DC Fast Charging

March 31, 2017 March 31, 2017

While CHAdeMO had a head-start over all other DC Fast Charging systems for electric vehicles, it may be that it will lose out in the standards/market-share competition to retain relevancy. We are plagued with three (four counting the Chinese) competing DC fast charging systems, when we as electric vehicle consumers…

Kia Soul EV can do 100 kW CHAdeMO – the desired charge rate for 200+ mile range EV’s

July 29, 2015 July 29, 2015

Over the next few years we’ll see more electric cars with 200+ miles electric driving range.  In a 200 mile range EV, the 50 kiloWatt rate we now call “fast charging” will seem slow.  The 200+ miles range will require 60 kiloWatt-hours of electricity storage, requiring a 1+ hour recharging…

EVTEC unveils four-port 100+ kW CHAdeMO/CCS fast charging station

April 6, 2015 April 6, 2015

The debate over electric car fast charging systems has been going on for years, and the only sign of a settlement is that some of the automakers are investing in dual-protocol fast charging infrastructure.  While it’s a great interim solution, as a practical matter the existing dual-protocol DCFC stations can…

CHAdeMO’s European death sentence commuted thanks to its standardisation

May 1, 2014 April 13, 2015

Some good news for CHAdeMO in Europe is that the European Union has adopted a draft proposal supporting the “Dual Standard Approach”.  While the Directive requires that all DC Fast Charging infrastructure support the Combo Charging System, through the EN62196-2 plug, it allows such charging stations to also support CHAdeMO. …

German automakers complain over non-standardized Tesla Supercharger, but where are the CCS cars?

April 10, 2014 April 13, 2015

It would be wonderful if there were one fast charging standard for electric cars.  We’ve collectively gone through periods with dueling standards, and it was painful.  But, the current environment has several fast charging standards (CHAdeMO, China, Combined Charging System, and Tesla) each of which are vying for dominance.   Recently…

Honda shows off the future with a Smart Home, Photovoltaics, an energy management system, and DC-charged Fit EV

March 26, 2014 March 31, 2015

Today, Honda launched a new project – the Honda Smart Home – that’s a glimpse into the future of buildings and transportation.  And, it’s a future that isn’t terribly far away because most of the project uses off-the-shelf equipment.  The idea is to look beyond zero emission vehicles to a…

IEC approves CHAdeMO as fast charging standard, keeping us locked in Beta-VHS phase

March 17, 2014 March 31, 2015

The nice thing about Standards Organizations is that there’s so many of them.  If your standard gets rejected by one organization, such as the Society for Automotive Engineers, you can go to another standards committee, like the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), to get ratification.  That’s what has just happened in…

Frankenplug fast chargers in California don’t help DC QC standards war with CHAdeMO

January 28, 2014 April 13, 2015

In California, eVgo is beginning to build their charging infrastructure (finally – aren’t they a little behind schedule?) and the good news for BMW i3 and Chevy Spark EV owners is the infrastructure being built supports both CHAdeMO and Combo Charging System fast charging.  But the situation just picks at…

Nissan EV Advantage program – 2013 – looking to spur CHAdeMO charger installation

January 12, 2014 August 12, 2015

In late 2013, Nissan started funding CHAdeMO charger installation across the US as part of a larger plan to rapidly expand CHAdeMO infrastructure. Nissan, and the Japanese automakers, are continuing to press forward on CHAdeMO adoption despite the fact that the SAE and European automakers have chosen the SAE Combo…

CHAdeMO and SAE DC Fast Charging adoption possibilities – EV adoption prospects are hanging in the balance

April 10, 2013 April 13, 2015

It’s thought that DC Fast Chargers deployment is a crucial element to widespread electric car adoption.  For example, the Japanese deployed a widespread CHAdeMO network in 2008 and immediately saw electric car utilization rates go up.  My feeling is that fast charging is the way to implement the normal behavior…
