Also, anything that uses the Japanese CHAdeMO standard can’t be adapted, so cars like the Nissan Leaf are being left out.

CHAdeMO can be adapted to CCS now with an active adapter.

That $1,000 from Alibaba adapter looks sketchy as all get-out and most of that article is CHAdeMO saying they don’t endorse it and expressing concerns over its safety. It might be fine but I’d prefer not to risk it. Perhaps the most concerning thing is if something hacked together for Alibaba still comes out to $1k, what would something from a stronger brand cost? I suppose that explains why we haven’t seen an official adapter yet.

Just because it looks sketchy, is stupid expensive expensive, and isn't endorsed doesn't mean it does not exist.
