Electric vehicles (EVs) use different charging standards. Many new fast-charging stations now use CCS2, but several EV models — especially older ones and Japanese brands like Nissan and Mitsubishi — still use CHAdeMO.
This creates a real problem for drivers and ev charging station operators: the car needs CHAdeMO, but the charger only offers CCS2.The OLINK CCS2 to CHAdeMO 250A adapter solves this. It allows CHAdeMO vehicles to charge safely and fast using CCS2 charging stations. It is a simple solution that improves flexibility, charging access.
Why This Adapter Matters
CCS2 is becoming the leading fast-charging standard, especially in Europe.There are still thousands of CHAdeMO vehicles on the road.
Installing a CHAdeMO-only charger is costly and usually not necessary.
This adapter helps operators use one CCS2 charger for more car types.
It improves charging station usage rate, profit, and customer experience.
Key Features of the OLINK Adapter
| Feature | Description |
| Rated Power | Up to 1000V DC / 250A fast charging |
| Contact Resistance | ≤ 0.5 mΩ — reduces heat and energy loss |
| Protection Level | IP54 waterproof + UL94V-0 flame-retardant housing |
| Working Temperature | −30°C to +50°C |
| Material | Copper alloy with silver plating |
| Customization | OEM/ODM support (color, logo, packaging, etc.) |
These features make the adapter safe, durable, and suitable for outdoor use.
Market Trends
CCS2 Is Taking the Lead
Across Europe and many other regions, CCS2 is now the main fast-charging standard. Most new DC charging stations are built with CCS2 connectors.
Demand for Adapters Is Rising
Even though CHAdeMO is less common, many vehicles still use it. Charging operators need cross-standard solutions to support different vehicles. As a result, the adapter market is growing quickly.
CHAdeMO Still Matters
CHAdeMO supports Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and bidirectional charging better than most other standards. This makes it valuable for fleets, energy storage applications, and special EV use cases.
Business Opportunity
A 250A high-power adapter allows one CCS2 charger to support many EV models. With OEM/ODM customization, it is ideal for charging station manufacturers and networks that want to offer more flexibility.
Application Scenarios
The OLINK CCS2 to CHAdeMO adapter is suitable for:
Public DC fast-charging stations
Mixed fleets (taxi, rental, logistics)
Cross-border charging networks
Charging station upgrades
Temporary and mobile charging solutions
Main Advantages
✔ High Compatibility
One charger can serve more EV models — better utilization and customer satisfaction.
✔ Lower Investment Cost
No need to install a separate CHAdeMO charger. One adapter solves the issue.
✔ Better User Experience
Drivers can access more charging points and travel with less range anxiety.
✔ Built for Outdoor Use
IP54 protection and durable materials keep the adapter reliable in harsh weather.
✔ Supports OEM/ODM
BrandingIdeal for charger manufacturers and charging network operators.
Technical & Use Tips
Confirm the charger does not exceed 1000V/250A.
Use the adapter between the CCS2 gun and the CHAdeMO vehicle inlet.
Regularly check for overheating or loose connections.
Make sure the EV supports CHAdeMO communication protocols.
For fleet use, create inspection guidelines for safe maintenance.
Challenges & Points to Consider
Some regions require certifications (CE, FCC, RoHS, etc.).
Backend systems (OCPP, payment apps) must support it.
Older vehicles may charge slower — this depends on the EV itself.
Proper cable handling and heat management are important for safety.
Conclusion
The OLINK CCS2 to CHAdeMO 250A adapter is a practical and cost-effective way to support more EV models using existing CCS2 charging infrastructure. It helps bridge legacy vehicles and modern charging standards — without needing to install new hardware.
If you manage public charging stations, EV fleets, or charging infrastructure — this adapter can help you increase revenue, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction.
