CHAdeMO
CHAdeMO is a fast-charging system for battery electric vehicles, developed starting in 2010 by the CHAdeMO Association, formed by the Tokyo Electric Power Company and five major Japanese automakers. The name is an abbreviation of "CHArge de MOve" (which the organization translates as "charge for moving") and is derived from the Japanese phrase "" (), translating to English as "How about a cup of tea?", referring to the time it would take to charge a car. It competes with the Combined Charging System (CCS), which since 2014 has been required on electric vehicles sold in the European Union, Tesla's proprietary connector used by its Supercharger network outside of Europe, and China's GB/T charging standard. , CHAdeMO remains popular in Japan, but is being equipped on very few new cars sold in North America or Europe. First-generation CHAdeMO connectors deliver up to 62.5 kW by 500 V, 125 A direct current through a proprietary electrical connector, adding about ...

ChaoJi
The ChaoJi connector (, meaning "Super" and referenced as CHAdeMO 3.0) is a proposed standard for charging electric cars, under development since 2018. The connector has a lemniscate shape ( ∞), with a flat bottom edge and is planned for charging battery electric vehicles at up to 900 kilowatts using direct current. The design incorporates backward compatibility with CHAdeMO (used globally) and the GB/T DC-charging (used mainly in mainland China), using a dedicated inlet adapter for each system. The circuit interface of ChaoJi is also designed to be fully compatible with the Combined Charging System, also known as CCS (used mainly in Europe and North America). A joint agreement between the CHAdeMO association and the China Electricity Council/ State Grid Corporation of China was signed on 28 August 2018 after which the development was enlarged to a larger international community of experts. Implementation the plan was for new EVs to be fitted with a female ChaoJi DC inlet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
