NACS to CHAdeMO adapter

Product Description

This adapter enables CHAdeMO electric vehicles (Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi Outlander, etc.) to charge at NACS (North American Charging Standard) DC fast charging stations across North America. As a member of the CHAdeMO Association, Electway has developed this solution to help CHAdeMO owners access the rapidly expanding NACS network. With a nominal current of 125A (max 250A) and maximum power of 50kW, it delivers reliable fast charging for daily driving and road trips. Rated IP54 with an operating range of -30°C to +50°C, the adapter is built for all‑weather outdoor use. Plug‑and‑play, no vehicle modification required.

Product Features

• Efficient Charging: 125A nominal / 250A max, 50kW max power – ideal for daily needs.
• CHAdeMO 1.0 & 2.0 Ready: Works with existing CHAdeMO vehicles and future infrastructure.
• All‑Weather Durability: IP54, -30°C to +50°C – reliable across North American climates.
• Firmware Upgradeable: USB‑C port for over‑the‑air updates.
• Status Light Indicator: Built‑in LED shows real‑time charging status.
• Intelligent Safety: Overcurrent, overvoltage, short‑circuit, leakage, overtemperature protection.
• Heavy‑Duty Construction: Silver‑plated copper alloy contacts, UL94 V‑0 housing.

Key Advantages

• Unlock the NACS Network for CHAdeMO EVs: As NACS becomes North America's unified standard, this adapter gives CHAdeMO vehicles access to thousands of new DC fast chargers.
• Extend Your EV's Lifespan: Keep your CHAdeMO vehicle on the road longer without premature replacement – simply add this adapter to stay compatible.
• Reliable Protocol Conversion: Active conversion handles NACS/CHAdeMO communication, voltage matching, and real‑time safety monitoring.
• Reduce Range Anxiety: More charging options mean easier route planning and fewer “no compatible charger” moments.

Main Applications

• Japanese EV Owners in North America: Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi Outlander, and other CHAdeMO vehicles charging at NACS stations.
• Mixed‑Standard Fleets: Fleet operators with CHAdeMO and NACS vehicles can standardize on NACS chargers.
• Electric Fleets: Buses, delivery vans with CHAdeMO ports continue using modern infrastructure without retrofits.
• Dealerships & Service Centers: Service all EVs with a single NACS charger.

FAQ

Q1. Can a CHAdeMO EV use a NACS DC fast charging station?
A:Yes. The ELECTWAY NACS to CHAdeMO adapter allows compatible CHAdeMO electric vehicles, such as Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi Outlander, to connect to NACS DC fast charging stations. It provides a convenient solution for CHAdeMO EV owners who need access to NACS charging infrastructure.

Q2. What charging power and current does the NACS to CHAdeMO adapter support?
A:The adapter supports 125A nominal current and up to 250A maximum current, with a rated charging power of 50kW. The actual charging speed depends on the EV, NACS charging station and charging protocol, so the vehicle and charger may limit the final charging power.
