EV Chargers in McMinnville, OR
FORD LEVEL 3 DC FAST CHARGERS
Each charger can charge 2 vehicles at once, so there are 4 connectors that are 120kW.
CCS Connector - Type 1
CCS Type 1 (Combined Charging System), or CCS Combo 1 or SAE J1772 Combo connector, combines the J1722 Type 1 plug with two high-speed DC fast charging pins. CCS 1 is the DC fast charging standard for North Amercia. It can deliver up to 500 amps and 1000 volts DC providing a maximum power output of 360kW.
The Combined Charging System utilizes the same communication protocol as the SAE J1772 Type 1 connector. It enables vehicle manufacturers to have one AC and DC charging port rather than two separate ports.
Most EVs in North America now utilizes a CCS 1 plug. Japanese automakers such as Nissan have transitioned from CHAdeMO to CCS1 for all new models in North America. However, like the SAE J1772 Type 1 plug, Tesla has their proprietary charging standard for North America.

CHAdeMO CONNECTOR
EThe CHAdeMO connector is a DC fast-charging standard initially developed by Japanese automakers and released before CCS. It can charge EVs up to 400 amps, providing a maximum power output of 400 kW. To reach the 400 kW output, any CHAdeMO charging stations would require liquid-cooled cables similar to the CCS types. No surprise to see that CHAdeMO is the preferred standard for DC fast charging in Japan. Even so, Japanese auto manufacturers are adapting models to CCS connectors for North American and European markets, so we will likely see fewer CHAdeMO chargers in markets outside of Japan as time progresses. Although not as universal or widespread as CCS, there is still ongoing development with the CHAdeMO protocol to enable even faster charging through their "ChaoJi" technology in partnership with GB/T.
The main difference between CCS and CHAdeMO is that CCS connectors allow car makers to fit only one EV charging port, which can accept AC and DC charging. However, with CHAdeMO, you require a separate charging port for AC, resulting in two charging ports on the vehicle.
