  1. I just got mine a few days ago but haven’t had a chance to test it yet. I didn’t get it from the EU reseller though, from one of the the Chinese companies (looks exactly the same though – it’s the one that Dala EV got on alibaba)

  2. Those Fiskers probably piled up because of various problems they had with getting the software ready for customers.
    This car seems to have been pain in the a.. for Magna who developed and produces (or rather: produced) it.

  3. I'm not sure if the limits are cable restricted. Most charges follow CHAdeMO v1.0 standard. This allows for charging at up to 62.5 kW. The maximum voltage is 500V, and the maximum current is 125A. v2.0 license is more expensive? CHAdeMO 2.0H, allows for charging at up to 400 kW. The maximum voltage is 1000V, and the maximum current is 400A. I know v2.0 is popular in Japan but didn't Europe settle on 1.0?

  4. My worry about the CHAdeMO adapter is, the list of tested CCS2 chargers is pretty small; I'd worry about turning up to a site with no Chad chargers and finding the adapter wouldn't work with whatever charger brands were on site.

    If you take a minimum of 2 chargers as "safe", there are 60+ mile stretches of major roads in the UK, with no safe CHAdeMO stops along them; without going waaaay off route.

    M4 corridor to Gatwick, Reading is the last place with more than a single charger – leaving 63 miles to the chargers at the airport.

    The one and only time I counted on a single charger – it was being blocked by a 2011 Leaf driver insisting on 100%, even though at 90% it was already down to 2KW.

  5. 1000 GBP for that CCS2 to Chademo adapter is quite a lot of money. If I'd bought a 62kwh Leaf it would make sense but my 24kWh with 113k miles is only worth 2 or 3 of those adapters.
