Type Standard Requirements for Electric Vehicle Charging Cables

Here, the most common charging cables on electric vehicles using DC current are introduced: for example, CCS combined charging and Type mode charging and other specifications.

As society develops, electric vehicles have gradually solved people's travel methods, and charging technology has gradually improved.

The following will introduce the basics of various types of EV charging cables so that you can find the right cable for your electric vehicle.

From the perspective of charging speed, according to market research, there are three types of charging speeds, including fast charging and slow charging, among which there is also fast charging, which is faster and shorter than the first two. Slow charging is below 3kW, and the average charging time is 6-12 hours. The fast charging type is between 7kW and 22kW, and it takes 3 to 4 hours to fully charge. The fast charging type is the fastest, ranging from 50kW to 120kW. It takes about an hour to fully charge.

Types of electric vehicle charging cables

When charging an electric vehicle, there is a connector that plugs into the charging cable to plug into the vehicle. The type of connector varies depending on the rated power of the vehicle and the charging point.

Charging Mode Two

This type of EV charging cable is usually provided by car manufacturers and is available in several versions. Car drivers can use a household socket to charge their vehicles. It has a box that communicates between the vehicle plug and the connector plug, called an In-Cable Control Box (ICCB). Some of these types of EV charging cables come with connectors for multiple CEE sockets, allowing you to get up to 22kW of charging power.

The following is analyzed according to EV Charging Mode Three: This type of EV charging cable connects the charging station and the electric car. Usually, the charging station provides a Type 2 socket. This allows you to use a Type 1 or Type 2 (Type1 and Type 2) plug, but it is not excluded in different regions. Therefore, to charge your vehicle, you must convert the charging mode three EV charging cable from Type 2 to Type 2 or Type 2 to Type 1.

Type 1 (Type1)

The Type 1 connector is single-phase and can achieve a rated power of up to 7.4kW. This type is common in the Asia-Pacific region.

Type 2

This three-phase design standard plug is used in many parts of the world, mainly in Europe. Charging levels up to 22kW can be achieved in private charging areas. And in public charging stations, rated power up to 43kW can be achieved. In private charging areas, charging power usually reaches 22kW. Compatible with all mode 3 cables, most stations have type 2 sockets.

These types of EV charging cables can provide rated power up to 50kW. Of course, for specific product model specifications, please contact us, welcome to follow: OMG EV cable
