all right so Shawn what the first thing you wanna do when you want to charge
your Model 3 with CHAdeMO is you get your CHAdeMO adapter
all right and then you'll roll on over yep gonna come up to your car
this is a two-handed process because the connector is so large sure so I make
sure we're open here
there you go now it should open there you go yeah it does help to get that
done ahead of time all right oh yeah so now you don't need two hands
and you're gonna take out that blue one which is your CHAdeMO yeah you're
gonna push this lever in and then pull out and then you're gonna click the two
together see these two grooves here so is there a top? there is
a top and then the two groves will line up all right and then you push it till
it clicks there you go and now you're good to plug it into your car okay and
then it's very heavy so make sure that you don't let it beat on the on the side
of the car like so okay it's clicked it's locked so now what we'll do is you'll
you'll activate the station yeah hang just like you did very gently there that
way doesn't hit the car and now we just say we're gonna start charging
yes yep there we go there we go so youre gonna enter your phone number that's all
right so your receipt will be sent by text message, right so you get a receipt by text
proceed okay $2 to initiate and then 20 cents per minute
all right so then what happens is the once you hit start the station will do a
handshake with the car it's gonna do a test to make sure that there's no
leakage and that the car is ready and you saw that little red light come on
down there and it'll locked all right so now it's just gonna run through a bunch of
different voltages there that are free predetermined with the car to make sure
that everything is solid and then it's gonna start charging and you'll hear
actually the fan kick up on the station
so he's got one converter for all four stations which helps keep the noise down
helps with the maintenance and the it allows these stations to be much smaller than you
might have seen with some of the competitive products and that's how you
charge a Tesla Model 3 on the CHAdeMO we'll catch you on the flipside
remaining 35 kilowatts coming in an hour so he's added two kilowatt hours already
it's only been a couple of minutes yeah let me shoot the screen so you can
see this is the screen you get when on a model three when you're not in the car
and it's and it's showing you that way you can tell at a glance so much more
readable than on my model X here we go voltage and the charge rate
everything on CHAdeMO is a little different than on the Tesla station it's
actually going to ramp up so as the car gets as the car gets more
full the voltage will go up as you see there's going up and then the amperage is
right about 100 and it's actually converting everything inside that CHAdeMO
adapter that's it's got a 50 kilowatt limit okay so when you're done
with your CHAdeMO when you want to disconnect what you'll do is you'll hit
stop on the screen either on your car or on the station yeah so we've been almost 15 minutes
and I've gained actually 12 percent it's not bad you know about a percent a minute and a
minute yeah almost okay so how do we stop so you hit stop
on the screen or you hit stop in the car all right it'll finish up it'll ramp down
and at that point it'll be ready to unlock so you can then push the the
handle just like at the supercharger I'll push it up yep and then now it's
gonna be two hands again so you'll push and release on the CHAdeMO and then
you'll pull the adapter away and then at that point your car's closed it's it's
connector unless it's an early Model S that only
has the magnetic spring open and and you're good to go so you're charging
session is complete five dollars and fifty cents not bad for the fifteen
minutes and gain about twelve percent and that includes the two fifty yeah
yeah so if you you know without that it would only be about 2.50 okay there's a
three behind us there's a three behind us this this is Sean from Tesla Family Channel
and you just saw us doing a tutorial of how to use the CHAdeMO after on the
model three with his car and now we're gonna finish checking out the the rest
of the RS automotive while everything is open because last time we came it was
closed but we still were able to get a charge because he leaves the station's
open and so remember to subscribe and leave a comment down below and if you
liked this video give it a thumbs up and then after you're done with this video
jump it over to Sean's channel and take a look and see check out my content
that's okay that's what editing for that is what editing is for
