Revealing its Cycle 3 ZEV National Investment Plan for the entire U.S. except California, Electrify America explains that it will no longer set up any new CHAdeMO connectors at any of its charging stations, starting in January of 2022. The charging network operator stated, “As sales of all new BEVs shift to CCS, Electrify America forecasts that over 90% of the non-Tesla BEVs in operation will use CCS by 2025. Electrify America is already seeing this shift at our stations. CHAdeMO usage accounted for just 9% of station usage in the first quarter of 2021, down from 15% in 2019.” In California, CHAdeMO usage accounts for merely 7 per cent of Electrify America’s network utilization. Still, the operator will keep on installing CHAdeMO connectors in the state. While the company said it would continue to monitor the evolving field to determine the best mix of connectors and technology to deploy, the California Air Resource Board (CARB) will most probably not allow it to ditch CHAdeMO standard altogether. It may be noted here that CARB oversees the operator’s plans in California, and the EPA oversees its plans for the rest of the nation.
