God bless CHAdeMO. It was the DC fast-charging plug shape that was poised to win the charger format wars, purely by being installed on the only EVs capable of fast charging in their day, the Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi i-MiEV. Alas, it didn’t succeed. Most DC fast charging stations are now CCS only and will soon pivot to NACS. Most fast charging service providers have also announced that they’ll be sunsetting support for the CHAdeMO. Yet, the lack of support for CHAdeMO is a serious issue. Nissan still sells a brand new Leaf that can only DC fast charge via a CHAdeMO connector. In a CCS and NACS world, what does that mean for Leaf owners who want to fast charge?
