Sumitomo Electric’s SEVD-11U CHAdeMO Charges In Boost Mode

CHAdeMO

charging standard with Boost Mode can easily exceed 120 kW of power, but where are the CHAdeMO cars that can accept such power?

This summer, Sumitomo Electric’s SEVD-11U CHAdeMO connector assembly

received the world’s first UL certification (UL 2251) to charge in Boost Mode, introduced by the CHAdeMO Association in standard specification 1.2 in March 2017.

The Boost Mode

allows charging at higher current than the continuous rated value for a short period of time, provided the temperature remains within a rated temperature range.

In the real world, it enables charging to go beyond 100 kW (when the battery state-of-charge is low) without special liquid cooling,

and then charging power is limited to the rated value (when at high SOC, EVs usually can’t accept high current anyway).
