CHAdeMO Replacements at AmpCharge public charging sites

AmpCharge currently supports both CCS2 and CHAdeMO DC fast charging connectors across our network.

As EV technology and standards have evolved, the majority of EVs and plug-in hybrid vehicles in Australia now use CCS2 connectors. As a result, demand for CCS2 charging has continued to grow across the AmpCharge network, while fewer vehicles rely on CHAdeMO connectors. To better reflect changing customer demand, selected CHAdeMO connectors will be replaced with CCS2 connectors at certain AmpCharge sites.

This change will primarily affect customers who drive vehicles that use CHAdeMO DC fast charging connectors. Examples include certain Nissan Leaf vehicles, Mitsubishi i-MiEV vehicles, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV models, Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV models, and Lexus UX300e vehicles.

Customers with CCS2-equipped vehicles will not be affected by this change.

The replacement program will be completed in stages over the coming months. The timing of the works will vary by site. Customers can check the latest information on affected sites at: ampcharge.com.au/replacing-chademo

A total of 46 AmpCharge sites with CHAdeMO connectors will be replaced with CCS2 connectors as part of this program. You can find the full list of impacted sites at: ampcharge.com.au/replacing-chademo

Yes. During the replacement works, the affected charger will be temporarily unavailable for up to six hours while the connector is replaced and tested. Where other chargers are available at the site, customers will still be able to use those other chargers during the works.

Customers will be informed through a range of channels including:

• Point-of-sale and onsite signage
• Notifications through the Ampol app, PlugShare and Google Maps where available
• Email communications to affected CHAdeMO customers
• Updates on other AmpCharge digital channels, including the AmpCharge website

No. As part of this program, selected CHAdeMO connectors are being replaced with CCS2 connectors at certain AmpCharge sites to better reflect the growing demand for CCS2 charging. Ampol will continue to assess customer demand and network requirements over time.

The proposed acquisition of Evie by Ampol remains subject to regulatory approvals, including approval from the ACCC. Until that process is complete, Evie and AmpCharge continue to operate separately.
