Seeking Advice on CHAdeMO to CCS Adapter for Chevy Bolt EV
I’ve recently been looking into the possibility of using a CHAdeMO to CCS adapter to charge my Chevy Bolt EV at some of the CHAdeMO charging stations in my area. Given the growth of electric vehicle infrastructure, I wonder how feasible this setup is, especially considering how the Bolt is manufactured and its charging capabilities.
Questions I’m Considering:
Availability: Are there reliable adapters currently on the market?
Compatibility: Does anyone have experience using such adapters with the Bolt? I’ve heard mixed responses regarding compatibility.
Charging Speeds: How does the charging speed compare when using CHAdeMO versus CCS, especially in real-world situations?
Safety and Warranty: Would using an adapter affect my vehicle’s warranty or raise any safety concerns?
What I’ve Found So Far:
I’ve seen a few conversations online, particularly in the Nissan Leaf community, which often discuss adaptations and charging solutions across different models. However, specifics about Chevy vehicles seem scarce.
It seems that most charging stations lean towards CCS, and I want to ensure I can maximize my chances of finding compatible charging options when on the road. If anyone has insight or experiences to share, it would be greatly appreciated!
Summary:
I’m hoping to gather as much information as possible from those who may have worked with CHAdeMO to CCS adapters, especially for Chevy models. Any help or advice would go a long way in alleviating my concerns and helping me make a more informed decision about my charging options.
I’ve been looking into CHAdeMO to CCS adapters for my Bolt EV. From what I’ve found, compatibility varies widely among different brands. Any suggestions?
I’ve tried a couple of different models. The one I settled on seems reliable, but the charging speed can drop significantly. It’s something to be aware of!
It’s great to hear about different experiences! Are there specific adapters that are recommended for the Bolt, or should I source based on user reviews?
I’ve been using a CHAdeMO to CCS adapter with my Bolt EV for a few months now. The charging speed isn’t as fast as direct CCS, but it certainly gets the job done if you’re in a pinch!
