I can easily see orders and plans for upcoming stations starting now beginning to change to skew more in favor of CCS in the US (ala EA). I doubt those installing stations will wait until 18 months to make such a change.DougWantsALeaf said:As Ariya won't hit US shores until 2022 in any volume, Chademo will stay the course for the next 18 months. But post 2022, especially if Leaf is stopped (guessing it will continue until Ariya arrives), then new dual handle DC stations will slow, and as units start to get replaced, Chademo will start to go...guessing in the 2025 timeframe.

They just need to offer it in North America if I am not mistaken. That and probably a software update to deal with the more complicated CCS protocol which again is already done in Europe.
I am happy to see Chademo still being installed if I am wrong though.

As I understand it (from reading threats at TMC where people know the details), it's not that simple. Tesla was already using a Type 2 Mennekes connector in EU, so the internal hardware of the charging port was different.salyavin said:https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/CCS/CCS_Combo_2_Adapter_en.pdf
