Why this standard matters

CHAdeMO is the Japanese-origin DC fast-charging standard, predating CCS. It pioneered V2G (vehicle-to-grid) capability and reached 400 kW with CHAdeMO 3.0. However, CCS2 mandates in Europe and NACS rise in North America have left CHAdeMO largely confined to Japanese OEM ecosystems (Nissan, Mitsubishi).
