What Is CHAdeMO?

By Scott Hinderer 08/01/2022 7:38am

Two electric car charging plugs, the left one a CHAdeMO, the standard in Japan, the right one a Type 2, standard in Europe.

An electric vehicle fast charging system standard used primarily in Japan, but also in America. Automakers supporting CHAdeMO in at least one nation (usually Japan) include BMW, Honda, Kia, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Peugeot, Subaru, Tesla, and Toyota. See also, CCS–Combined Charging System, SAE J1772.
