SHOULD CHADEMO DIE?

EV Channels Review

This panel discussion delves into the future of the CHAdeMO charging standard, with a strong consensus emerging that CCS is the way forward. While acknowledging the existing CHAdeMO infrastructure and the needs of current Nissan Leaf owners, the experts largely agree that new installations should cease and the standard should be phased out. Concerns were raised about the maintenance and reliability of existing CHAdeMO stations. The discussion also touched upon the complexities of charging standards for the average consumer, the potential of new standards like China's CHAOJI, and Tesla's evolving role in the charging landscape. A key takeaway is the need for simplification and standardization to accelerate EV adoption, with adapters and clear communication being crucial during the transition.
