 This weekend was the Sweden premiere of the Japanese DC charger Chademo. First up is the Green Highway in Ostersund and soon there will be a like chargers to Arlanda. Is the truth so it is northern Europe's first Chademo-chargers now been set up in Ostersund. It uploads an electric car battery to 80 percent in just 30 minutes. Do not add an hour of charging, you get a half-charged battery in the quarter. That is why the new Japanese standard called Chademo. It means something like "let's drink tea while we load". The secret of fast charger is the high voltage of 500 volts, amperage of 100 amps and the charging station to convert mains AC to DC car battery. The charging station is aware of what type of battery to be charged and how much voltage and amperage as the battery can withstand. For carmakers, it is a plus to the charging electronics are in the charging station instead of in the car. It makes the car a few ten thousand Euros cheaper. Chademo Association was founded almost exactly a year ago, on 18 March 2010. Initiator of the standard is the major Japanese electricity company Tepco directly came away with four of the major Japanese carmakers Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru. Studies from Japan show that electric car drivers' confidence grows when they know there are fast charger. You become more courageous and increase its normal Speed range of 50 percent. There are now nine electric cars in Ostersund, but it will soon, some 30 to. The car on display along with the new charging station in Ostersund was a Peugeot ion, a systerbil to Mitsubishi eMiev. It is the Japanese and French electric car manufacturer who now drives the expansion of Chademostandarden in Europe. |
