CHAdeMO is a DC charging standard for electric vehicles. It is both the name of the DC charging technology and the organization tasked to develop it. CHAdeMO ensures compatibility and seamless communication between the car and the charger.
CHAdeMO was developed starting in 2010 by the CHAdeMO Association, formed by the Tokyo Electric Power Company and five major Japanese automakers. An ecosystem of companies offer CHAdeMO-related products and services, working together to promote and enable electric mobility on a global scale.
