What is CHAdeMO?
CHAdeMO is a Quick charge technology developed by CHAdeMO Association (Charge de MoVE). It allows you to quickly charge electric cars and is one of the most widely used fast charging technologies in the world. In Europe, you can find the Type 2 plug or the CCS plug.
How does CHAdeMO work?
CHAdeMO uses a special plug that goes into a charging station is plugged in to quickly charge the electric car. The plug has eight contacts that have various functions. This includes contacts for transmitting DC power, a communication interface between the car and the charging station, and contacts for transmitting ac.
Which electric cars use CHAdeMO?
CHAdeMO is used by many electric car manufacturers, including Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Kia. There are also a growing number of electric car models from other manufacturers that support CHAdeMO plugs.
How fast can you load with CHAdeMO?
CHAdeMO allows electric cars to be charged quickly. The charging capacity is given in kilowatt (kW) and indicates how much electricity is delivered in a specific period of time. The size of the battery is specified in kilowatt hours (kWh) and indicates how much energy the battery can store.
Most CHADEMO-enabled electric cars can be charged with a charging capacity of up to 50 kW. Depending on the size of the battery, charging can take between 30 minutes and an hour.
Benefits of CHAdeMO
CHAdeMO enables fast charging of electric cars and is one of the most widely used fast charging technologies in the world. It is also very safe and reliable.
conclusion
CHAdeMO is one of the most widely used fast-charging technologies for electric cars worldwide. It allows electric cars to be charged quickly and is very safe and reliable. If you own an electric car or want to buy one that supports CHAdeMO, then it is important that you find a suitable charging station that is compatible with this plug.
