CHAdeMO

The Japanese DC fast-charging standard, with its own connector and CAN-based communication rather than power-line signalling. It was the first widespread DC system and natively supports bidirectional charging, but in Europe and North America it has given way to CCS.

Example

Charging infrastructure: an example situation

A 100 kW model request does not establish real voltage, current, connector or negotiation compatibility.

Read CHAdeMO alongside CAN bus in this context. The serial network over which a BMS talks to the vehicle or inverter: a two-wire differential bus, defined in ISO 11898, carrying short prioritised messages at up to 1 Mbit/s, or faster with CAN FD. Every node hears every message, and a dominant bit wins arbitration without any collision.

Use in Lemonergy

Separate compatibility from requested average power.

This is a reference concept. No executable Lemonergy block has been verified for this term.
