To use a 125A, 150A, or 200A CHAdeMO charging cable, first locate the CHAdeMO port on your electric vehicle, which is typically a round, discrete port. Then, ensure the charging cable is compatible with your vehicle and charging station. Insert the large connector into the vehicle's port and wait for a confirmation signal that charging has begun before leaving the vehicle. To disconnect, always stop charging via the vehicle or app, wait for the vehicle's latch to release, and then unplug the charging cable from both the vehicle and the charging station.
The 100kW CHAdeMO is one of a selection of rapid charging standards created by a consortium of carmakers and industry bodies, which now includes more than 400 members and 50 charging companies. Its name stands for "Charge de Move", which is also the name of the consortium. The goal of the consortium was to develop a fast-charging vehicle standard that the whole automotive industry could adopt. Other fast-charging standards exist, like CCS.

Alternating Current Option: The 250A CHAdeMO Plug EV standard has two types of connectors – one for slow charging and the other for fast charging. The slow-charging connector, also known as the AC connector, is a single-phase, three-pin connector. This connector is typically used for charging at home or in commercial areas where charging time is not a constraint. The AC connector can provide a maximum charging power of 27.7 kW with three-phase current, while a one-phase wire provides a maximum of 8 kW charging power.
Safe Charging System: 250A CHAdeMO EV sockets are designed with safety insulation on their pinheads to prevent accidental direct contact with human hands. This insulation ensures the highest level of safety when handling the sockets, protecting the user from potential electric shock.
This advanced charging system is built to last, with a robust construction that ensures reliability and longevity. The socket is designed to outlast its competitors, making it an excellent long-term investment for EV owners. Its multi-available current rating and easy installation make it a great choice for both residential and commercial applications.
The socket is designed to be used with standard fast-charging connectors which are becoming increasingly commonplace across the world. This makes it an ideal choice for vehicle owners who want to charge their electric vehicles without having to worry about standard compatibility issues in the global market.
