Interpretation of the five major charging pile standards

As the increasing number of electric vehicles continues to increase, the charging piles are also further increased, but the ev charging ports and charging piles on the market are different. How to ensure the car charging compatibility? The international charging pile standard is gradually unified, and there are mainly five charging standards.

They are CCS1 American standard (combo / Type 1), CCS2 European standard (combo / Type 2), Chinese standard GB / T, Japanese standard CHAdeMO, and Tesla's unique connector standard.

The CCS1 and CCS2 are collectively called the CCS joint charging system, which integrates normal charging and fast charging into one plug and socket, capable of using single-phase, three-phase AC and DC power.

CCS1: The plug has a 5-hole design, and the main markets are North America and South Korea.

CCS2: the plug uses the 7-hole design, which is the European charging pile standard. CCS Type 2 standard in DC fast charging mode, voltage 500V, output current 200A, only 30 minutes to charge an electric car with a range of 350 kilometers. At present, European BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and other brands all support CCS Type 2 standard charging piles.

GB / T: With the rapid development of China's electric vehicle industry, China's unique national standard has been formulated, among which, AC and DC plug are different.

CHAdeMO: Japan is the main, is a high-power fast charging standard, the main Asia-Pacific region Mitsubishi and other models of choice.

Tesla is implementing its own unique standards while offering new cars compatible with CCS2 connectors in the European market, and the CCS2 standard usage countries should be increased in the future.
