Allego ceases installing new CHAdeMO chargers
The declining number of electric vehicles with the CHAdeMO standard on the market has prompted the European charging network operator Allego to cease installing the plug on its charging stations. While existing charging stations will remain, they will not be replaced.
The operator assures customers its change away from the CHAdeMO plug will not happen overnight and that drivers who rely on the appropriate infrastructure will not be stranded. Allego says that just under 4 per cent of all-electric cars sold in 2021 used CHAdeMO. “And that number is expected to continue to decline,” Allego said.
“We are not actively replacing chargers that support CHAdeMO. But when we open a new location or renovate an existing location, we are implementing CSS chargers only.” the provider writes in its statement.
