What does CCS2 charger mean? What is the difference between CCS2 and CCS and GBT? CCS2 charger is a charging interface standard designed for electric vehicles. The following is an analysis of CCS2 chargers and the differences between CCS2 and CCS and GB/T (usually referring to China's national standards):
1. What does CCS2 charger mean?
1.1. Definition: CCS2 (Combined Charging System 2) charger is a charging interface standard that combines AC and DC charging functions. It is widely used in Europe and other regions and has also been used to a certain extent in the United States.
1.2. Features:
1.2.1. Multi-mode charging: supports both AC and DC charging modes, which improves the flexibility of charging equipment.
1.2.2. Compatibility: Compatible with Type 2 (Mennekes) AC plugs, allowing vehicles to use AC charging when needed.
1.2.3. Fast charging: Capable of high-power DC charging, usually supporting charging power of more than 150kW, and even hundreds of kilowatts in some cases, suitable for long-distance travel and fast charging needs.
1.2.4. Safety and intelligence: It has a variety of protection measures, such as overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit protection, etc. It also supports communication protocols and can monitor and manage the charging status.
2. Is there a difference between CCS and CCS2?
2.1. Definition and scope:
2.1.1. CCS: usually refers to the early combined charging system standard, mainly including CCS 1. CCS 1 is mainly used in North American countries and South Korea, supports DC charging, but does not have AC charging function.
2.1.2. CCS2: As an upgraded version of CCS, it adds AC charging function and improves the power and compatibility of DC charging.
2.2. Plug design: The plug design of CCS 1 is usually simpler and focuses on DC charging; while the plug shape of CCS2 is similar to Type 2 AC charging plug, but two additional DC charging contacts are added at the bottom of the plug.
2.3. Application scenarios: CCS 1 is mainly used in DC fast charging stations in North America; while CCS2 is widely used in Europe, the United States and some countries in the Asia-Pacific region, meeting the dual needs of electric vehicles for fast charging and AC charging.
3. What is the difference between CCS2 and GBT?
3.1. Standard formulation:
3.1.1. CCS2: Developed by the European Organization for Standardization, it is mainly used as an electric vehicle charging interface standard in Europe and some other regions.
3.1.2. GB/T: Developed by the China National Standardization Administration, it is the national standard for electric vehicle charging interfaces in China.
3.2. Plug shape and size: There are significant differences in the plug shape and size of CCS2 and GB/T, so they are incompatible.
3.3. Charging function and power: Although both CCS2 and GB/T support AC and DC charging functions, there may be differences in charging power and charging protocols.
3.4. Scope of application: CCS2 is mainly used in Europe and the United States; while GB/T is widely used in electric vehicle charging stations and charging piles in China.
