EV Charging Assemblies Solutions

Types of EV Charging

AC Charging

On-Board Chargers Usually Have Lower Power
  • Lower than 20 kW
  • Typically 3.3 – 6.6 kW
High power on-board chargers are feasible, but have several downsides
  • Bulkier than low power chargers thus taking more space and adding weight to an EV
  • Higher price of power electronics

DC Charging

Off-Board Chargers Usually Have Higher Power
  • Higher than 20 kW
  • Typically 20 – 100 kW
Off-board placement allows for increased charger dimensions and weight
DC charging stations are much more expensive compared to AC charging stations

Types of EV Charging Coupler Types

AC Series

TYPE 1 PLUG

SAE J1772 (IEC 62196 Type 1), SAE Electric Vehicle Conductive Charge Couple, also known as a J plug, is a North American standard for electrical connectors for electric vehicles maintained by the SAE International.
  • SAE J1772 (North American standard)
  • Complies with IEC 62196
  • Used in North America and Japan
  • AC (1-phase)
AC + DC

COMBO 1

The Combined Charging System (CCS) is a standard for charging electric vehicles, which uses the Combo1 (CCS1) connectors to provide power. These connectors are extensions of the IEC62196 Type 1 and Type 2 connectors, with two additional direct current (DC) contacts to allow high-power DC fast charging. And the CCS2 mainly use in Europe market and CCS1 mainly use in US market.
  • Same as Type 1, but with DC pins added
  • Combined Charging System (CCS)
  • AC (1-phase) + DC
  • Power up to 120 kW (600V, 200A)
AC + DC

  • Combined Charging System (CCS)
  • AC (1-phase) + DC
  • Power up to 120 kW (600V, 200A)
AC Phase

TYPE 2

The IEC 62196 Type 2 connector is used for charging electric cars, mainly within Europe. The connector is circular in shape, with a flattened top edge and originally specified for charging battery electric vehicles at 3–50 kilowatts.
  • VDE-AR-E 2623-2-2 (German standard)
  • Complies with IEC 62196
  • Used in Europe
  • AC (1-phase or 3-phase)
  • AC 3 Phase Power up to 43 kW (400V, 63A)
AC + DC

COMBO 2

The Combined Charging System (CCS) is a standard for charging electric vehicles, which uses the Combo 2 (CS2) connectors to provide power. These two connectors are extensions of the IEC62196 Type 1 and Type 2 connectors, with two additional direct current (DC) contacts to allow high-power DC fast charging. And the CCS2 mainly use in Europe market.
  • Same as Type 2, but with DC pins added
  • AC (1-phase or 3-phase) + DC
  • DC power up to 200 kW (1000V, 200A)
AC + DC

CHAdeMO

CHAdeMO first used in the Japanese market, but now it is also easy to find in the European market. And it is currently co-developing with China Electricity Council (CEC) the next-generation CHADEMO 3.0 ultra-high-power charging standard with the working name of “ChaoJi.”
  • Specified by JEVS (Japanese standard)
  • Developed by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), Nissan, Mitsubishi, Fuji Heavy Industries and Toyota.
  • Complies with IEC 62196
  • Used mostly in Japan, but also in Europe and USA
  • DC Only (Power up to 120 kW (600V, 200A))
DC Phase

GB / T

The Guobiao standard GB/T 20234 for DC charging within China. And now it is also easy to find in the Asia market, especially the countries near China.
  • GB/T 20234.3-2011 (DC)
  • DC (Power up to 187 kW (750V, 250A))
