Sustainable Transport Solutions. Technical Note 5: Electric vehicle recharging infrastructure for on-road EVs (PDF) (Report). Clean Vehicles Partnership . Retrieved 23 August 2022. It was developed by a Japanese association and is designed for rapid DC loads that can supply up to 50 kW of power with a current that can reach 125 A.

Unlike in North America, Tesla 3 and Y owners in Europe can charge their vehicles with a CCS Type 2 charging station, and Tesla S and X owners can use an adapter. EV Connector TypeSome vehicle inlets may contain the extra connections to allow the CCS DC-only charger (high-current DC) to be inserted. [17]

Configurations with the letters CC and DD were discussed during the work on the document but are not specified in the published version of IEC 62196-3:2014. It is an AC charger used in a variety of EV models, such as BMW i3, i8, BYD E6, Tesla Model S, Renault Zoe, plug-in hybrid Volvo V60, VW E-up, Audi A3 E-tron, plug-in Mercedes S500, hybrid Plug-in VW Golf, Porsche Panamera and Renault Kangoo ZE.

Tethered or Untethered: Which is right for me?

Any cable used must be truly ‘heavy-duty’ in that the core must be able to sustain high loads and the whole thing should be properly tested, weather-proof and flexible. Owning an electric vehicle is great and electricity is available pretty much everywhere but not at any price and manufacturers’ guidelines should always be adhered to. EE [ edit ] A CCS1 (Combined Charging Standard 1) DC charging connector, which is used in North America. It is an extension of the J1772 standard AC charging connector. Using an EV connector does not just boil down to the amount of current we want, or communicating the correct amount of data between the EV and charger. Instead, manufacturers must also consider that the physical charger needs to be plugged in and the connector cable itself has to be ‘lugged’ to the vehicle. Therefore, there are many factors that go into the design, including:
