Finally Porsche's CHAdeMO standard quick charger is 150 kW

Opened Porsche Turbocharging Station at Hilton Tokyo Odaiba

"Porsche Turbocharging Station" that Porsche has installed in various places as a charging place for electric vehicles.

The CHAdeMO standard quick chargers installed in these stations were said to have a maximum output of 150 kW.

But, however.

"But now it's still 90 kW," so there was a long period of time where I said, "Originally, it should have been 150 kW, but it's still not right now."

I used to call it "150 kW fraud" (← I'm so sorry (laughs)), but here we are! !

Finally, in 2023, a 150kW quick charger appeared.

No, it was long.

But it was good.

I don't own an electric car, so I don't have to worry about chargers that much at the moment, but even so, since the first CHAdeMO was installed, I've always wondered, "When will it reach 150 kW?" I'm so happy ^^

What was announced this time is that from July 1, 2023, a new Porsche turbocharging station will be opened in the underground parking lot of Hilton Tokyo Odaiba.

And in the announcement, there was a description that "We have installed a maximum 150 kW class output CHAdeMO standard quick charger jointly developed with ABB."

Here is the charger. The one where the cable on the left side has a bumpy shape is 150 kW ↓

150kW quick charger that already existed in PEC Tokyo

But in fact, I had already seen CHAdeMO at 150kW before this day. I had met him.

That is the place at the Porsche Festival / Porsche Garage held at the Porsche Experience Center in June 2023.

Anyone noticed? ?

When I happened to look at the charger, I was secretly excited and thought, "Huh? Maybe this is finally 150 kW?"

When CHAdeMO was first installed, it was said that the cable would be thicker at 150 kW, but after that, it was said that the cable would be about the same thickness because water would pass around it. It might get thinner (due to technological progress)." *At the time when I asked the question a long time ago.

After all, the cable didn't become so thick even when it went from 90 to 150 kW, but I was a little surprised because I didn't expect it to be wrapped around the cable like this.

This is the 150kW compatible quick charger that I met for the first time at the Porsche Festival ↓

For those who have a Taikan, I would like you to try this 150kW charge once and experience how different it is from before ^ ^
