There are 12 #CCS chargers, two of which feature #CHAdeMO ports, so, as one representative said, "If you can fast charge, you can fast charge here. Most CCS chargers were 185-kW ABB chargers, but there are two 350-kW stalls. Representatives told InsideEVs that the current charger proportions are relative to the current marketplace, and the ratio of NACS to CCS chargers and the ratio of 185 kW chargers to 350 kW will change as the market evolves.

Different #EV brands have different #charge port locations.

This has caused increasing frustration as the variety of cars has grown dramatically over the last decade.

Some say car companies should standardize...

#CircleK in #Norway says "Hold my non alcoholic beverage!"

If your car supports #CCS or #Chademo, then it WILL fit here!

This station has six dual CCS EV chargers, capable of charging 12 vehicles simultaneously. Three of which with option for Chademo. All CCS cables have flexible arms allowing you to reach your charging port anywhere on your vehicle! (Most European Teslas come with CCS. Older Teslas need a Chademo adaptor.) Max effect varies from 300 up to 400kw. All chargers support plug&play for compatible pre registered cars. Prices can be compared to diesel. But most of us only use fast chargers when ultra cheap home charging isn't practical. Like when on vacation. Visiting my mother out of town is also a completely valid excuse for testing out these new toys! (Ignore the fact that I could probably charge over night at her place...) The city of Tønsberg isn't big, but it still has several fast charging stations more or less like this one. Although, admittedly, most of them not as large. For those worried about fossil/IC cars blocking EV chargers; The sign says they will be fined and towed in no time! Besides, that sort of behaviour went extinct when the fossil drivers realized we could block their fuel pumps too... 😎
These metal arms will happily reach out to help you reach your charge port, no matter where you tried to hide it! 🤗
Hello sir! Please allow me to hold this cable for you while you fetch a coffee or an ice cream inside! 💪🫡
The sign roughly translates to: "Charging zone. Spots are only for charging cars. Max charging time is one hour. Violations will lead to fines/towing." What the sign doesn't say, is that if fossil cars block our chargers, then we will block their fuel pumps. We can charge at home anyway, so they have more to lose. 😁

Presently in the parking lot of an actual drug store, at one of just two DC fast charging stations in Columbia, MO home of our largest state university.

There are four chargers here. One is ICE’d (stupid gas car blocking it) and two are broken. But we got the last one to work.

As much as I hate Elon and Tesla, I sure am glad the new standard is NACS and with our next EVs we’ll be able to use that [wildly better] network.

There's (apparently) finally a #Chademo to #CCS2 adapter! (If you don't know what I'm on about, you're lucky. #Nissan #Leaf owners will know.)

Is this the same one you mentioned a while back, Gavin @KiwiEV ?

The sticking point is it's only sold on Alibaba, which is B2B, so you have to buy 2 and they're US$1050 each. Ouch. But at least now the adapter exists and we can hope the price comes down. alibaba.com/product-detail/CCS Heard about it here: youtube.com/watch?v=wydql2N_F- (Dala is Norwegian and a hoot.)

A friend of mine asked about the charging port on my car, casually asking if it was a port.

That’s a rabbit hole in which actually DOES NOT use any fast charging port you’d recognize from another country.

Japan uses a fast charging port called . This, literally, comes from the phrase “Cha de mo” or loosely “how about tea?” Which in Japan is closer to an invitation to a light meal.

This charging port, is almost literally named “how about a snack?”

A slight bit of explanation is needed. Pretty universally, rapid chargers in Japan are time limited to 30 minutes. It’s an odd quirk, but it’s quite predictable, and they generally charge by the minute, not the KWh.

Literally, the rapid chargers were designed to take as long as a light meal to charge a car (at that time) from 20 to 80%.

My car, a , needs a 100kW charger, to achieve this, but a lighter car like a leaf, is perfectly suited to the most common 50kW chargers.

Japan just does things differently.

There's so much #HATE in the comments section of our recent videos for the #NissanLEAF electric car, and in fact any car that uses #CHAdeMO as its charging standard.

Telling owners of older EVs to metaphorically just go suck it because their car's charging standard is no-longer used by new cars is antithetical to my entire reason for covering this industry. I'm really quite upset about it.

I’ve owned two LEAFs, and loved them. I don't love the way that Nissan handled the battery issues these cars had, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the cars because.. I DID.

Can you all help me understand why the #EV world is so darned fractured and #tribalistic right now, especially in the #US? It's getting me down.

@yatil our car has an old #chademo plug, which will be gone at some point (as far as I know). So this is already a limitation. And just because it says there's a station available, doesn't mean it's working. If it's not working, you can call the hotline and they might be able to reset, but maybe not.

If you can charge there and the station is working, you might have to wait because there's only one and several people already waiting to charge. I've experienced all that multiple times 😅

#EVcharging

US is embracing #Tesla #NACS charging standard that currently max out at 250kw.

European #CCS have chargers with up to 360kw.

Chinas #GBT standard seem to be able to go up to 480kw.

A work in progress #Chaoji is joining GB/T and Japanese #CHAdeMO standard with at least 900kw speed and bidirectional capabilities. Could be backward compatible with CCS.

Charging speed isn't everything though. Efficiency is important also. Is the US choosing the best way forward?
