  • They’re still installing them here in Norway. Not as many as the CCS chargers, but there’s at least one or two dual CHADEMO/CCS charger at every location going up. There’s nearly 100K Leafs alone here, and quite a few other EVs that also use CHADEMO.

    My 2014 Berlingo has a 22.5KWh battery, and I have no problems getting around. It just takes a bit longer than with other cars if I want to drive far. Which really doesn’t happen all that often.

    Cars with CHADEMO may be a small part of traffic, but they stop to charge more often than other EVs. That’s a fact that many suppliers seem to forget.



  • They’re all effing idiots.
    (Assuming we’re talking about US-based oil companies)

    In other parts of the world, oil companies are refocusing as energy companies and spreading their focus to hydro, solar, wind, wave, and so on.

    Also, where do they think the power to charge all those EVs are coming from?

    It’s NOT just appearing out of the blue. Well, wind and solar maybe…

    There’s also the fact that we’ll have a need for liquid fuels for a long time still, so the end isn’t near for them. Unfortunately.

    It’ll take a long time before shipping becomes independent of oil.

    Sure, we’ve got over 80 car ferries running solely on electricity here in Norway, But those generally have routes with no more than 30minutes sailing time. and 1.2MW contactless chargers on the docks…

    That’s not going to amount for much with a Panamax or larger cargo ship is it?
