Interesting. Hopefully they are going to partner with Tesla on Superchargers!

Chargepoint mysteriously shows a Tesla handle in their own charger in new promo video

So are we gonna see 3 connector DC Fast Chargers? (CCS, CHAdeMO and Tesla)
i thought the Tesla Chademo adapter has a limit on current that basically prevent people from using it for DC charger with more than 50 kw output. Pretty sure version 2 of the adapter will be out in the future.Has anyone used the chademo adapter on one of the 100KW level 3 chargers? I wonder if they can put electrons into a Tesla at the maximum rate with the adapter.
I'm wondering if that's what the announcement will be the week of the 15th.The Chademo spec imaxes at 62.5KW. Is there a new spec?
Also, the video has been removed so perhaps Chargepoint jumped the gun and showed something they're not supposed to yet.

I was talking about Chademo adapter made by Tesla. Not the Chademo station specs.CHAdeMO specification is:
50kW = 500 volts max * 125 amps max (really 62.5kW capable), about 2007-2008 time frame?
100kW = 500 volts max * 200 amps (max initial design)
150kW = 500 volts max * 350 amps (2017 launch, really 175kW capable)
350kW = 1000 volts max *350 amps = (proposed summer 2016)
If I go to a 100KW Chademo station, will the adapter down cycle to 50KW to not overload the adapter?
I disagree, charging infrastructure needs to come first. Both my Tesla's can charge at 120KW+, but no charger except Tesla SC can provide that - most crawl at 6KW. Having a network build up that can charge faster is great, plus will encourage manufacturers to make EV's that can charge that fast. Who would want to travel in a Tesla if they were limited to L2 public chargers? Or, how many people who buy a Bolt would pay an extra $10K to charge fast if no chargers were out there. I bet a lot more people would she'll out an extra 30% for a Bolt if it charged at 1000mph AND there were plenty of chargers along major routes.Assuming your batteries can handle it. On a 90KWh pack, this is a 4.5C charge rate, which no Tesla pack can handle. The reason superchargers are 120-135KW is that for current packs, that's actually faster than the batteries can handle. It's never been about the chargers.
Remember that Chargepoint is now beginning to set up infrastructure to support the Germans arriving during the next two years and after. In addition tesla will be working to make higher charge rates acceptable to the battery packs.Assuming your batteries can handle it.
