They said it could never be done because it would require a computer inside the adapter. Turns out, there are plenty of brilliant people in the world so the tiny computer is not impossible.

Santa Claus turns up late and wearing an orange puffa. Dala you rock.

I commissioned the CCS1 version for USA CHAdeMO vehicles and am testing it now near Seattle. Not ready for sale yet, but the same quality construction as this CCS2 version.

Good news for Japanese imports. All EV's sold in Japan uses Chademo so If we were to import japanese ev's this would be soo beneficial

Average happiness of entire population of Finland up by at least 5% today! Great to see it.

Thank you for testing the adapter and helping Dongguan Longwood company to improve the software by transmitting error logs.

Awesomely clever. Helps keep older Chademo-powered vehicles in the road.

I just dropped in to say that we deliver from our online store to all over the Europe, not only to Finland. The first pre-order is open until Friday of this week. So early birds, be early! Great job Dala!

This is amazing. Looks like there's life in the old Leaf yet!

I was wondering how the development was going on. Absolutely fantastic news! My leaf has a new lease of life! Thanks

Hyundai Ioniq Electric 28kWh and 38kWh do actually have CCS in Europe.

Keeps all these Chademo cars rolling . Great bit of work and congrats to all involved.

Looking forward to more videos of people testing these in different countries. Good to extend working life of older EVs, and a bonus for people who can't charge at home on AC.

Awesome! Price will drop for sure. Somebody needs to order 100items, lot of Leafs and Zoë owners will be really happy with those adapters

This is huge! Why aren't all the EV channels covering this

FANTASTIC! With my upgraded 30kWh battery in my i-MiEV, giving me a 220 kilometre range, and this adapter, long distance driving is much easier!!

I hope they are some other company will do something similar for the US with Chademo to CCS and or the coming NACS/J3400. The price is pretty steep at the moment but maybe with more iterations and some competition it can be reduced. Till then your idea of sharing an adapter makes a lot of sense. PS I would like to see Tesla Bjorn do a test with it. He's apparently after a Kia Soul EV as his press car shuttle and could make good use of it in the Winter months.

Hi Dala, that's awesome! You should make a video showing the inside of it, I'm curious how they implemented it. We always suspected it would need an internal power source to correctly initialise the two standards since there's no power available until charging starts - it's great to see that a company has actually put in the resources to figure this out. Only problem for now is that it costs €1500. I will probably buy one eventually, but I think I will wait for the price to drop before I do. I'm hoping it'll be under €500 at some point.

I purchased a CCS1 version today. I hope it works. They asked if I had seen the Dala video and if that how I found them. Yes. I asked for the Dala discount. Turns out it is 0%. Next time negotiate a discount for all of the referrals this video should generate:-). I am looking forward to driving a little faster vs. having to hypermile to the next, distant, Chademo charger. Thanks.

Thank you for buying and testing this for us

How EXCITING!!!! I am going to wait a little bit for the competition and see what comes up! Thanks for the exciting news and update!

Outstanding! 😂 Great video as usual, Dala.

Dala your enthusiasm and determination is commendable 🎉 I don’t own a Leaf but one thing that has put me off is Chademo. Next thing, do these LFP Leaf replacement packs work in reality? An affordable replacement battery pathway combined with an adapter would give the Leaf fleet a lifetime extension for sure! It has always struck me that the Leaf with its simple battery design was designed to have somewhat consumable batteries over its lifetime.

I wanted to buy a used leaf, but as you say 90%+ is CCS, and the chademo often broken or occupied. One could even watch locations with 4 Tripple chargers beeing modified to ccs only. The EV community really has been waiting for this, becuase there are lots of still good leafs that were suddenly useless. Mayve there will even a version, that can be built into the car, replacing the whole socket. thanks for sharing.

Indeed phantastic! Thank you for pushing this for so long!

Brilliant idea, looking forward to seeing these for sale. As you said Sir, it will make life so much easier for leaf owners, I'm surprised Nissan aren't selling something similar, the only thing about my leaf that is a nightmare, is the lack of fast chargers available for motorway journeys .. Great video, thank you Tak 👍🇬🇧

Great to see! Opens another option for enabling DC charging on EV conversions. Many aftermarket VCUs and BMSs includes native support for CHAdeMO so buy a cheap inlet and this adapter and your good to go (plus some contractors etc.). There is only two other options so far (as far as I know) to enable CCS DC charging on converted cars, and that is BMW i3 EVCC or getting a super pricy kit from Fellten (3300 pounds!!).

This is great news. Well done all those who made this possible. Thank you.

Interesting that the minimum order for this adapter is two units. This is going to change though. Even the price of $1,000 is going to change. We're not in the income bracket to afford $40K+ for a new EV but the idea of a $7,000 carefully chosen second hand Leaf is very appealing and factoring in the price of the adapter is a reasonable option.

Next video: Dala's EV Repair: I put a CCS convertor in my Leaf

Whoo, very impressive development!

HELL YEAH! THIS WILL SAVE AND PROLONG THE LIFE OF SO MANY EVS! We need a north american one!

Thank you Dala, for sharing such excellent news! I'm located in North America, so will wait until a NACS/J3400 to CHAdeMo Adapter becomes available. Or, a CCS-Type1 to CHAdeMo Adapter (but I'm not expecting CCS-Type1 to be maintain beyond the next 2-4 years)

Awesome! Nice find. Looks huge haha!

Nice! Thanks for the update.

I would love to see this adapter used with the tesla's chademo adapter for some cursed adapter madness

I got all excited about this based on the video title. Only to hear you say "CCS2 to Chademo" and I'm in the US where we use CCS.

This is fantastic. All we need now is for some enterprising company to figure out a way to build one of these into the car itself, like a CCS conversion kit. That could add significant value to used Leafs.

This is extremely exciting news. Stumbled on this while looking for some videos to explain to my parents how to charge and road trip my leaf and this is going to make doing that road tripping so much less of a pain or unknown in the future.

Dala, you are Chademo Jesus!

As a new leaf owner this is great news 🎉

To say it's a bit pricey is an understatement. $1000. And I think it would have to allow the cable to lock to it for me to buy one. But thanks for the continued excellent work. Cheers

In thirteen years of owning my leaf, ive never actually used the black port for charging! I need to get out more.

I’m chatting through emails with the company now because of your video. I live in Orlando Florida and only one chadamo is working in the closest 5 counties, I hope to have one in the next two months to play with and see if it works

Amazing news! I had ruled out vehicles with Chademo charging. I will bear this in mind when we are looking for our second EV.

OMFG I can't believe it 😢 I need this. Right now. Checking the store

Thanks for sharing this info, Dala

NO WAY the once impossible made possible! 🤯

This is just great! Thanks for this information 😃👍🏻

This is amazing, hopefully they'll make a version for the north American CCS. I'd buy one soooo fast

This is fantastic! Engineering can solve a lot of problems here.

Super, now a kit to convert the car and my wife will be happy!

Thanks for posting this

Interesting video. This adapter is probably what many CHAdeMO drivers have been waiting for. Regarding the design, I could have preferred that the adapter itself was divided into 2 parts with a short cable in between. CCS cables are typically both heavy and stiff and I think that the charging port itself in the car is exposed to extra stress in the current design.

My goodness! FINALLY! Thanks!!!! I'll buy it NOW :-)

Makes DIY CCS for your EV conversion much easier. Mount this in the car - chademo is easy to DIY.

Thank you so much. We have the same problem in the United States. I looked at the Longo’s site and you can buy them for $1050 but you need to buy 2. So unless I can find someone else interested in buying one of them I think I will wait for numbers or prices to drop. Thank you so much. This is very encouraging. Don and Suzanne Rumbaugh, Pennsylvania, USA.

Outstanding! Thanks Dala. Now if we can also get an NACS to Chademo adapter...

This news is outstanding!!!

Nice, very exciting news. Thx Dala😁

Fantastic, I wish that thing was aruond 5 years ago when I was driving a Kia Soul, it would have helped a lot. Happy charging!

Thanks, some enterprising company may offer these for rental for when you do long road trips. I only use public charging very rarely.

Dala is the happiest in Finland!

Excellent vid, thank you.

Super 🎉👍 at last. Perfect for me for the summer vacation.

Teslabjørn wants it for Norway, well done!

im glad its possible! but with the size and price of that thing, i wish they made it a full conversion or a stationairy adapter of some sort.

Will keep lots of older evs running for years to come

Wonderful. Hopefully ccs1 adapter comes soon.

So Great ! Thanks for sharing

You are my new Favorite UKpostsr

I like how the company name more or less describes how the device looks

this is so cool. thank you !!

Very nice!!!!!! A must have for chademo Bevs!!! .....but also nice to have a battery like yous in the Leave.....😢

Wow ! I need one , I usually use level 2 or home plug , but I do need one at times, I want the 2024 leaf in future once it reaches 5 years old and it only has the damn Chademo.

Das wird vielen chademo Ladern den Hintern retten!

Great scott! This is awesome

I'd have no hesitation ordering this if they ever become available in Norway.

Daniel, Hurraah, ordered one, thanks for your work, best Carel Hassink pro-LOX Netherlands

Dala, you had some reservations about this adapter in earlier videos. Have those concerns been resolved, is this a new version? Thank you for testing this!

Now that there is a working portable version. Will that technology be adaptable to make a permanent in car Chademo to CCS2 conversion? Basically replacing the Chademo socket and the short length of cabling to the first loom connection with a CCS2 socket, an inline version of the adaptor and the connector for the loom. There is probably some 12v power available nearby removing the need for a battery in the module.

This is great news. I am looking forward to when they come out with a CCS combo one port adapter

Amazing. We just got rid of our Kia Soul EV(US) in favor of a more modern CCS car because it was Chademo and there's barely any chademo infrastructure remaining as most major charging networks are phasing it out. this is a game changer

Surely the best solution is for the charging stations to keep an adapter or two for loan when someone needs it? Maybe they would take a deposit to stop people running away with it. Or have the adapter secured to the CCS charging station.

I just received mine today here in Orlando Florida did my unboxing video shared the link to this video on my video hopefully I can help you out a little bit. I have a small channel but you never know. Anyway, I’m gonna be waiting for you to post some more videos about this thing I’m gonna test it out around Disney World and all the Disney chargers in the area probably this weekend if I can get it working I’m not great at downloading, firmware updates and not exactly sure how to do it, I wish the unit would’ve came with a little bit more instructions, but I am gonna try. Luckily, the Nissan leaf community on Facebook has been fairly supportive and sent over to your spreadsheet even though I don’t know what I’m looking at when I look at your spreadsheet lol but I’ll figure it out.

This is really good news. You ask what I think: $1000 is a lot of money and will it keep working? I would buy such an adapter if it is a recognized company that stands behind it (maybe it is) and offers a replacement for $250 if it breaks. Of course, I dare to buy such an adapter when you have seen it on the market for example for a year and people give good reviews. It's a little early for me, but it's great news and potentially my car has become worth more.

I would have actually bought a Chademo -> CCS adapter. I live in Eastern Europe and here charging network is lagging behind - often a mall has only one stall with CCS and Chademo. CCS is always occupied while I haven't ever seen Chademo being used. Chademo -> CCS adapter in this case would've helped to charge in those cases.

2:42 i can imagine a 50kg lady in high heels and winter storm saying ”Amazing, it just works!”

The proper solution would be for Nissan to provide a CCS replacement service for their charge system. i.e. rip out the type 2 / chademo subsystem and replace with a unified CCS system. I bet it's eminently doable even if it cost a grand or something to provide as a service. It would be a permanent solution and safer than some hulking adapter sold from China.

Great news Dala. 👍💪✌

the Chinese would never have made it work without your help. good job Dala👌

Maybe they could have adaptor hire Vending machine that requires credit card deposit, and adaptor is returned after use. Place the vending machines at charging stations.

So Darla.... I like the what you have and congratulations on get it done. My question is what about us over in USA we are moving to NACS here for all EV's. Will you make something from Chademo to NACS?

If it works consistently and doesn't develop a fault and one day melt/catch fire mid-charge, then this is a kind of miracle. For me, I would like to see some long term testing. I would only need it on long journeys, and while expensive I think worth it to enable convenient use of CCS...

@DalasEVRepair I am curious about the charging rates. Does it still throttle the charge down via the Leaf controller? I notice that most ccs are of higher charge rates. Also thank you for posting this! Definitely going to buy one very soon

Great, love it! Roadtrip time

New Zealand still has many cars coming from Japan, so we have between 50% or 33% of the connectors for CHAdeMO at all public DC locations (except Tesla stations). But I have seen some places where the new installs have some 100kW+ CCS and then some 25kW CHAdeMO/CCS dispensers to the side for people with older cars, or for people who are staying for longer. I would get an adapter like that if I start finding places with no CHAdeMO. As long as there are some 25kW CHAdeMO dispensers available that would be ok for my Leaf.

Thanks, Great job! The adapter looks handy and wondering why it took so long to make such a tool. The price is high, but I see no fundamental reasons for such a price tag, except for R&D investments to pay off. Looking for a charge speed test and price decrease.

Najs! Detta gör de lättare för infra ägare också. Och utan vidare ger ett lämgre liv på Chademo bilar ✌️

As ever, Dala, you're the Boss!! Thankyou for showing us this, and thankyou too for the work you did, making your own. 1 question - is it this actual unit that allows the 75kw charge on 62kwh #LeafBatteryUpgrade cars?? Thanks again.
