What are the international charging pile standards? Do you know?
Aug 05, 2023
At present, four main charging pile standards have been formed internationally, do you know them?
At present, the four main international charging pile standards are: China's national standard GB/T, CCS1 American standard (combo/type 1), CCS2 European standard (combo/type 2), Japanese standard CHAdeMO.
CCS (Combined Charging System) combined charging system
CCS (Combined Charging System) combined charging system standard originated from the SAE standard of the Society of Automotive Engineers and the European Association of Automobile Manufacturers ACEA standard based on the DC fast combined charging system combo standard, in 2012 at the 26th World Electric Vehicle Congress in Los Angeles, the United States officially established the "Fast Charging Association", in the same year Ford, General Motors, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Daimler and Porsche and Chrysler and other virtues 8 Major car companies issued a statement on the establishment of a unified fast charging standard for electric vehicles, and then announced the joint promotion of CCS standards. It was quickly recognized by the American and German automotive industry associations.
The advantage of this charging interface is that it integrates ordinary charging and fast charging into a plug and socket, using single-phase, three-phase alternating current and direct current, and has successively become a universal charging pile standard in the United States and European Union countries and countries that adopt US and EU standards such as South Korea, Singapore, India, Russia and other countries.
The standard represents a commanding height of the industry, has always been a place of competition between science and technology and industrial power, Japan thanks to strong automotive technology and industrial strength, electric vehicles have also developed earlier, in the charging pile standard is also strongly promoted, in the face of the competition of Japanese charging pile standards, in September 2014 the European Union passed the "Alternative Energy Infrastructure Construction Directive", proposing to prohibit public charging stations from 2019 to build Japan's CHAdeMO standard charging piles. The implementation of the CCS Type 2 charging pile standard is required in the European EV charging network, and CCS Type 2 is gradually becoming the main charging pile standard in Europe.
The CCS Type 2 standard in DC fast charging mode, with a voltage of 500V and an output current of 200A, can fully charge an electric vehicle with a range of 350 kilometers in only 30 minutes. At present, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and other brands in Europe support the CCS Type 2 standard charging pile.
