CCS2 to CHAdeMO adapter

What's the main benefit of this software flash in your own opinion?

I don't have a leaf because of Chademo. But this is a cool project and I hope it gets better and cheaper.

it was more like 7-8 and couldn't justify. so i would have no issue in getting one of these adapters when/if my need arises.

bought in early 2020 myself, no regrets. my reliance on fast chargers is about 15 times a year. never an issue when planned and fully charged when setting off. i would always consider 2/3 options on long trips in case one becomes faulty or other unforeseen issue. There is a good selection of chademo out there, just west Mayo and Galway is bleak and probably kerry/Donegal can be added to that too.

I think even though most new chargers are CSS2 there's still new Chademo going in here and there. A lot less but still an improvement.

Nyland said as much in his video even there. He didn't need the CSS adapter on his 500k run.

what is the best adapter choice on market now?

likely to be interested on this myself. not in an urgent need, but nice to have for the few long trips i make. just like insurance.

discount isn't massive but the price is attractive rather that the 900+ euro versions that is out there. what is also attractive is a group in ireland having these on the charges on this island so issues and fixes could be shared easily.

i've submitted mine, as you said there is no commitment to buy but i do hope to see enough for the 2nd tier pricing.

the product shows firmware can be updated, so any initial issues with infra in ireland can be worked on as a group. Advantage of a group buying a particular product, is that it makes it easier to get solutions and faster. I prefer this than forking out for a product only a few people have in this country and on my own in terms of resolving it.

it is not without risk

That's brilliant news, I've seen CCS cars not working properly at some Applegreen sites

tried this today, my early opinion is the person would need to have some skills and have the dongle as well as the leafspy pro app. tis a bit finicky. people should be informed that the dongle should come with adapter or encouraged to buy with the adapter, as if i didn't have it i'd be stuck or would need to reset the 12v.

3 charge attempts today.

First, ESB station. first CCS plug tried 3 times and got insulation plug error. no charge.

Second, same station but tried the other plug, seemless experience as describe in instructions and it auto switched off at 88%

third, the new easygo siemans unit. seemless experience and it auto switched off at 88% BUT and a very big BUT….the car was upset, dash turned red with the infamous "Warning, service EV system, No Power". plugged in the dongle and cleared the error for the battery and the brake system.
