CHAdeMO Chargers in Australia
DC fast-charging standard used by Nissan, Mitsubishi, and select other EVs
CHAdeMO is a DC fast-charging standard primarily used by Japanese EVs including the Nissan Leaf, Nissan Ariya, and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. While newer EVs have shifted to CCS2, CHAdeMO chargers remain widely deployed across Australia, often alongside CCS2 at the same station.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which cars use CHAdeMO in Australia?
- CHAdeMO is primarily used by the Nissan Leaf, Nissan Ariya, and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Some older Kia Soul EV and Citroen C-Zero models also use CHAdeMO.
- Is CHAdeMO being phased out in Australia?
- CHAdeMO deployment has slowed as CCS2 has become the dominant DC fast-charging standard for new vehicles. However, existing CHAdeMO infrastructure remains in place and widely available across Australia for current CHAdeMO vehicles.
- Can I use a CCS2 charger with a CHAdeMO car?
- No — CCS2 and CHAdeMO are physically incompatible and there is no widely available adapter. CHAdeMO vehicles require a dedicated CHAdeMO outlet to DC fast charge.
