FAQ

Q1. Can a CCS1 EV use a CHAdeMO charging station?
A:Yes. A compatible CCS1 to CHAdeMO adapter allows a CCS1-equipped EV to connect to a compatible CHAdeMO DC fast charging station. It provides the required communication and power connection between the vehicle and charging station, making it easier to access available CHAdeMO charging infrastructure.

Q2. Does the CCS1 to CHAdeMO adapter support DC fast charging?
A:Yes. The CCS1 to CHAdeMO adapter is designed for DC fast charging applications. The actual charging speed depends on the adapter’s rated current, the EV’s maximum DC charging capacity, and the output power of the CHAdeMO charging station.

Q3. How does a CCS1 to CHAdeMO adapter work?
A:The adapter connects the CCS1 port of an electric vehicle to a compatible CHAdeMO charging station and manages the required charging communication between them. Once compatibility and charging conditions are confirmed, DC power can be delivered to the EV according to the limits of the vehicle, charger, and adapter.
