Theoretically, separated port for AC/DC is good to make plug smaller, isn't it? I don't care much about charge port implementation surface area on car.

- vel0city 4y agoThe CHAdeMO connector overall isn't much smaller than the CCS connector. Handling a CHAdeMO connector is extremely similar to handling a CCS connector for the same rated capacity. I do somewhat care about the space needed for two charging outlets versus one. It's a much larger door to open. It's a larger moving part susceptible to a larger area of impact potentially breaking it. Larger door means probably more complicated hinge management. Two connectors instead of just one means more wires, more communications, more pins to potentially break or get dirty, etc. Adding CCS to J1772 adds two pins, adding CHAdeMO adds like 10.
