What is CHAdeMO?

The plug, the current, the car

CHAdeMO is an older DC fast standard, common on the first generation of Japanese EVs. It remains in the directory because those cars are still on the road.

The connector is larger than a CCS plug and uses a different pin layout. Most CHAdeMO stations in this directory deliver 50 kW, with some 100 kW sites; a few also carry a second connector for other cars.

Newer EVs have largely moved to the CCS standard, so a CHAdeMO site is worth checking before a trip in a newer car. For a Nissan Leaf or an older Kia Soul EV, the directory's connector filter is the quickest way to find one.

What the label means

CHAdeMO is DC fast charging. It is not compatible with a CCS plug without an adapter, and suitable adapters are uncommon.

Where CHAdeMO stations are

The states and territories with the most stations listing CHAdeMO. Each link opens that state's page; the directory keeps the connector filter for a narrower view.

Cities with the most

The cities where these stations cluster. A link opens the city's own guide where one exists, otherwise the directory around that city.

Counts are stations that list CHAdeMO, not plugs. One station can carry several connector types, so a station can appear here and in another connector's count. Prices are the networks' own per-kWh tariffs and can change by time of day. Counts from the directory data of October 2026.

Which cars use CHAdeMO?

Nissan Leaf and other older Japanese EVs. Legacy EVs that still use the standard. The connector a car accepts is fixed by its inlet; an adapter may be needed for a different standard, and support varies by vehicle and station.

How much does CHAdeMO charging cost?

Of the 140 stations that quote a per-kWh price, the median is A$0.75 and 32 charge A$0.50 or less. Networks set their own tariffs, and some add a session or idle fee.

Are CHAdeMO stations always fast chargers?

No label guarantees a rate. Typically 50–100 kW; the station and the vehicle negotiate the actual charge. Check the station's peak power in the directory before relying on it for a quick stop.
