What is CCS to CHAdeMO Adapter?

This adapter creates the protocol conversion from CCS to CHAdeMO which turns out to be quite a complicated process. For more than 10 years engineers could not produce this device despite the market need. It features a small, battery-powered “computer” inside which is responsible for the protocol conversion. This CCS2 to CHAdeMO adatper can be used for all CHAdeMO cars including the Nissan Leaf Nissan ENV-200, Kia Soul EV, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Lexus EX300e, Porsche Taycan, and many others.

Overview of the CCS-CHAdeMO Adapter for Nissan Leaf

This CHAdeMO adapter is a groundbreaking device that enables CHAdeMO vehicles to charge at CCS2 stations. This CCS CHAdeMO adapter gives access to thousands of CCS2 stations, which significantly increases the choice of charging stations. Now the owners of Nissan Leaf, and other CHAdeMO vehicles, can utilize both infrastructures- CCS or CHAdeMO.

What are the benefits of using CHAdeMO Adapter for Nissan Leaf?

The prevailing charging standard in Europe is CCS2, therefore the majority of the charging stations utilize this standard. It is a rare scene to see a newly installed CHAdeMO charger, in fact, some operators even dismantle stations with this standard. This Nissan Leaf adapter can potentially increase your average charging speed as most CCS2 chargers are 100kW+ while CHAdeMO chargers are usually rated at 50kW. We reached 75kW with the Nissan Leaf e+ (ZE1, 62 kWh) while the adapter is technically capable of 200kW.

How to charge a Nissan Leaf with а CHAdeMO charger?

To charge the Nissan Leaf at a CHAdeMO charger, follow these steps: First, park the vehicle at a CHAdeMO charging station. Then, you need to plug the CHAdeMO charger into the vehicle's charging socket. As soon as the plug is securely connected, the charging process starts automatically or via the control panel of the charging station. To use a CCS to CHAdeMO adapter, the CCS plug is inserted into the adapter and then connected to the CHAdeMO charging socket. This enables simple and flexible charging of the Nissan Leaf, regardless of the available charging station.
