The Model S can charge at up-to 22kW on AC, but 135kW on DC. CHAdeMO is DC, normally at 50kW. I suspect that the Model S adaptor gives the car the 50kW DC and manages the CHAdeMO communications to the charger. This means that you will only be able to use it with cars that take in high-current DC on a type-2 connector and that seems to be limited to the Euro-spec Model S.

Totally understand Matt but @snofsberry was talking about the Blue adaptor which I assume is 32 amp 240v 7kw AC... Therefore I would think it's reasonable to consider it might work with a Renault Zoe and BMW i3 and any other car with type 2...

D'oh - that's what I get for skimming instead of reading!

I wonder what the weight of the adapter and CHAdeMO plug is compared to a few extra feet of high-current cable?
