Fast Charging CCS Connector & Inlet | DC GB EV Charging Connector
CCS1 - Canada & United States | CCS2 - Austrailia, Europe, India & Thailand | GB/T 20234 - China
DC EV (electric vehicle) fast charging refers to a method of recharging electric vehicles using direct current (DC) instead of the alternating current (AC) that is typically used in homes and businesses. This allows for much faster charging times compared to using AC charging.
DC fast charging stations typically provide high-power DC electricity to the vehicle’s battery, allowing it to charge much more quickly than it would with a standard AC charger. Depending on the vehicle and charging station, a DC fast charger can deliver up to 350 kW of power, which can provide a range of up to 100 miles (160 km) in just 10-15 minutes of charging.
The Combined Charging System (CCS) is a standard for charging electric vehicles, which uses Combo 1 and Combo 2 AC/DC inlets which can be used with both AC and DC connectors to provide power at up to 400kW. CCS connectors are an extension of the SAE J1772 (Type 1) and IEC 62196 (Type 2) connectors. CCS connectors & inlets have two additional direct current (DC) contacts to support high-power DC fast charging. CCS connectors support DC charging only.
CCS1 EV Charging Connector & Inlet
UL | Canada & United States
The CCS1 connector is an enhanced version of the Type 1 connector, with two additional DC power contacts for the purpose of fast charging. CCS1 EV Charging Inlets support AC and DC charging.
FEATURES
- Compatibility: CCS1 (Combined Charging System) EV connectors are designed to work with a wide range of electric vehicles, including both AC and DC charging.
- High Power: CCS1 connectors can deliver high power charging up to 350 kW, allowing electric vehicles to charge at a much faster rate than standard Level 2 charging.
- Two-Part Connector: CCS1 connectors have a two-part design, consisting of a Type 1 or J1772 AC connector for slow charging and a DC connector for fast charging.
- Communication: CCS1 connectors use a communication protocol called ISO 15118, which enables secure communication between the electric vehicle and the charging station.
- Safety Features: CCS1 connectors have several safety features built in, including automatic shut-off in case of a fault, ground fault protection, and overcurrent protection.
- User-Friendly: CCS1 connectors are user-friendly, with a simple push-button mechanism for easy connection and disconnection.
- Compact Size: CCS1 connectors are compact in size, making them easy to handle and store, while still being capable of delivering high power charging.
- Durability: CCS1 connectors are designed to be durable and reliable, with weather-resistant construction and rugged materials that can withstand heavy use.
- International Standard: CCS1 connectors are an international standard, meaning that they are widely recognized and supported by charging stations and electric vehicles around the world.
- Future-Proofing: CCS1 connectors are designed to be future-proof, with the ability to support new charging technologies as they become available, such as wireless charging and bidirectional charging.
CCS2 EV Charging Connector & Inlet
TUV | Australia, Europe, Thailand and India
The CCS2 connector is an enhanced version of the Type 2 connector, with two additional DC power contacts for the purpose of fast charging. CCS2 EV Charging Inlets support AC and DC charging.
Charging “levels” are used to categorize the rated power, voltage, and current of the charging system. The standard currently has 2 different EV charging levels for DC charging.
- DC Level 1: EVSE DC charging ranging from 50 to 1000V, with a maximum current of 80A and a maximum power of 80kW.
- DC Level 2: EVSE DC charging ranging from 50 to 1000V, with a maximum current of 400A and a maximum power of 400kW.
GB/T DC EV Charging Connector
GB/T 20234.3 | China
The DC charging standard (GB/T 20234.3) uses a different charging interface than in North American and European markets. Instead, the GB/T20234.3 standard specifies a larger connector that supports charging at up to 250 kW and supports current of 80/125/200/250A and voltage of 750-1000V.
There are four pins for signaling: two to provide charging confirmation (CC1 / CC2) and two for communication via CAN bus (S+ / S-).
