IEC Electric Vehicle Charging Cable interface definition
The common Charging interface standards for European electric vehicles are Type 2 (IEC 62196) and CCS (Combined Charging System). Here are their interface definitions:
1. Type 2 (IEC 62196) :
Type 2 port consists of seven pins for connecting AC charging piles.
Type 2 interface is usually used for AC charging piles in Europe to support charging with different charging powers.
The Type 2 interface can also connect the fast charging pile, but in this case, an adapter is required.
2. Combined Charging System (CCS) :
CCS interface Two DC charging pins are added to Type 2 to connect the fast charging pile.
CCS is a standard that integrates AC charging and DC fast charging functions to meet the changing needs of different electric vehicles.
The CCS interface is commonly used in fast charging piles in Europe and North America to support higher-power fast charging.
The above is the definition of the common charging interface standard for electric vehicles in Europe. The development of these standards aims to improve the versatility of charging, so that different brands and models of electric vehicles can share charging facilities, and promote the popularity and development of electric vehicles.
