Ok, volle Punktzahl für die neuseeländische Krimireihe #Brokenwood: In einer Folge ist die Mordwaffe ein #Elektroauto - und die Requisite hat tatsächlich eines genommen, dessen Ladesystem (#CHAdeMO) bidirektional ist. D.h. man bekommt (zumindest theoretisch) da durchaus den Strom für den Mord raus. Das nenn ich mal #Fiktionalität!

A friend of mine asked about the charging port on my car, casually asking if it was a #ccs port.

That’s a rabbit hole in #Japan which actually DOES NOT use any fast charging port you’d recognize from another country.

Japan uses a fast charging port called #chademo. This, literally, comes from the phrase “Cha de mo” or loosely “how about tea?” Which in Japan is closer to an invitation to a light meal.

This charging port, is almost literally named “how about a snack?”

A slight bit of explanation is needed. Pretty universally, rapid chargers in Japan are time limited to 30 minutes. It’s an odd quirk, but it’s quite predictable, and they generally charge by the minute, not the KWh.

Literally, the rapid chargers were designed to take as long as a light meal to charge a car (at that time) from 20 to 80%.

My car, a #solterra, needs a 100kW charger, to achieve this, but a lighter car like a leaf, is perfectly suited to the most common 50kW chargers.

Japan just does things differently.

There's so much #HATE in the comments section of our recent videos for the #NissanLEAF electric car, and in fact any car that uses #CHAdeMO as its charging standard.

Telling owners of older EVs to metaphorically just go suck it because their car's charging standard is no-longer used by new cars is antithetical to my entire reason for covering this industry. I'm really quite upset about it.

I’ve owned two LEAFs, and loved them. I don't love the way that Nissan handled the battery issues these cars had, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the cars because.. I DID.

Can you all help me understand why the #EV world is so darned fractured and #tribalistic right now, especially in the #US? It's getting me down.

US is embracing #Tesla #NACS charging standard that currently max out at 250kw.

European #CCS have chargers with up to 360kw.

Chinas #GB/T standard seem to be able to go up to 480kw.

A work in progress #Chaoji is joining GB/T and Japanese #CHAdeMO standard with at least 900kw speed and bidirectional capabilities. Could be backward compatible with CCS.

Charging speed isn't everything though. Efficiency is important also. Is the US choosing the best way forward?

Schrödingers Gebrauchtwagen

Mein Herzmensch ist konsterniert, weil ein so alter Gebrauchtwagen noch so viel Geld kostet, befürchtet aber gleichzeitig, dass womöglich ein Mangel (z.B. ein Unfallschaden) verschwiegen wurde, weil das Auto im Vergleich zu anderen Angeboten gleichen Typs, Alters und Laufleistung ein ganzes Stück günstiger war.

Die einzigen Bedenken, die ich hab, sind die Zweifel, ob es die nächsten Jahre noch genügend #chademo-Ladesäulen gibt.

Wie verbreitet ist eigentlich #chademo noch in Deutschland/Europa? Isses arg unvernünftig sich jetzt noch ein #Elektroauto ohne #ccs zu kaufen?

Why would anyone plug to a #CHAdeMO socket on a 150kwh #CCS2 charger when there are 5 other 50kwh available???

UK EV drivers: can we now say that CCS has won the battle against CHAdeMO?

@Aminorjourney #CHAdeMO was about 2 years ahead, but overlapped the development of Model S (which took 5 years); it was in early development when #ModelS started. It was not a published standard until 2 years after the first public #Supercharger station opened. It was also a mere 50kW at ~400V.

I mean, do you really think #Tesla should have made the Model S only 50kW? That would have been horrible towards raising public acceptance of #EVs as an alternative to #ICEs.
