Chademo Denote 150 Kw Supercharging Protocol

During CHAdeMO’s annual General Assembly inward Tokyo, Japan, the Association’s management has announced its plans together with ongoing activities towards bringing high ability CHAdeMO chargers to the market.

The Association plans to unloose an amendment to the electrical flow protocol, which volition enable charging amongst upward to 150kW (350A), this year. The revision of the protocol, announced to the Regular Members already final year, is all the same ongoing amongst technical consultations amongst members happening both inward together with exterior of Japan.

CHAdeMO’s Secretary General Dave Yoshida said: “One of the purposes of the Association is to evolve CHAdeMO protocol then that it tin amend response to marketplace needs. We encounter a crusade towards majority marketplace EVs amongst higher capacity batteries together with we, every bit the Association of fast charging protocol, laid for it past times working on the high ability protocol. This volition enable faster deployment of the high ability charging infrastructure, inward training for EVs that tin accuse amongst higher power.”

Recognising that the upward tendency inward EV autonomy volition atomic number 82 to a bespeak for charging amongst higher ability at primal locations, peculiarly along the motorways, CHAdeMO mandated its Technical Work Group to tackle issues such every bit the size of the high ability cable or managing temperature increase of the charger that may come upward inward contact amongst users.

The ‘plug’ itself volition stay precisely the same every bit the electrical flow one, important the high ability CHAdeMO chargers tin feed ability to both the electrical flow EVs every bit good every bit the upcoming EVs amongst higher battery capacity. Current CHAdeMO EVs volition too hold out able to job the 150kW charger, simply every bit today’s EVs are configured to accuse at or then 50kW, they volition accuse at the electrical flow speed.

Dave Yoshida added: “We are rattling pleased that, thank y'all to the difficult operate of our technical team, nosotros volition presently hold out able to unloose the novel version of the protocol to our members. We await commencement 150kW standardised chargers to hold out deployed inward 2017.”

CHAdeMO technical representatives are too actively involved inward the IEC Committee working on high ability charging, where, together amongst other international experts, they are preparing a revision of the DC high ability standards, based on the IEC standards published inward 2014.

In damage of higher power, for event 350kW (1 000V 10 350A), technical studies are ongoing together with the Association volition decide its farther evolution or then 2018, should in that location hold out marketplace demand.
