looks like it was produced by an engineer.
Actually - that line maybe should be - "looks like it was produced by an engineer (with Poor vision, so they made it big to see it better!)."
Also - I understand CHAdeMO - is Analog, while Tesla Model S & Supercharger Plug/Communications are in Digital format - so multiplexing of data can be done on just a fraction of the connections!
(I might be wrong, but that is something I remember hearing/reading back a while)
On a Different Note - Maybe sometime in the Future - Tesla Motors could make an Adapter for Cars like LEAF, iMiEV, and Soul EV - that use the CHAdeMO, so that they could buy it from Tesla - to Access the Supercharger Network!
Since the Input (Supercharger) is a smaller plug than the output (CHAdeMO) - it could be even more compact that the Current Tesla CHAdeMO Adapter! Also - this would be a chance for Tesla to both Maintain Control, of other vehicles accessing the Network, and promote their statement - anyone (CHAdeMO Equipped) can access the EV Transportation Solutions of the Supercharger, and the Adapter could be programmed for the Specific Model and Serial Number of user Vehicle, for the Supercharger to Track Access. Selling Price could be about $2,500 - $3,000 For Lifetime Access to the Network.
Tesla Get's the money directly be Selling the Adapter to the Owner, without an OEM involved or in the way! Sure it would be nice if they got on board, but I bet owners are more interested in using the network, than OEM's are interested in doing anything in any way that is looking like Tesla Won! EV Owners, not so much concern about that - they just want to get moving! The Adapter could tell the Superchargers what initial rate to start charging at - and the Tesla Superchargers would be like in a partly tapered off state, right from the start, for vehicles like the iMiEV!
My Adapter thoughts for the day!
