How many charging pile standards are there in the world?

At present, there are four main charging pile standards in the world. Do you know them? At present, the four main international charging pile standards are: Chinese national standard GB/T, CCS1 American standard (combo/Type 1), CCS2 European standard (combo/Type 2), and Japanese standard CHAdeMO.

What is a CCS type 2 charging pile?

The electric vehicle charging network in Europe is required to implement the CCS Type 2 charging pile standard, and CCS Type 2 has gradually become the main European charging pile standard. In the CCS Type 2 standard, in the DC fast charge mode, the voltage is 500V, and the output current is 200A.

What are European charging infrastructure regulations?

The current European charging infrastructure regulations set minimum requirements for charging stations. In the near future, these will include smart charging, which is in turn enabled by digital communication standards.

Do electric vehicles need a unified charging pile standard?

The prerequisite for convenient charging of electric vehicles is that the charging pile can be adapted to all electric vehicles to avoid incompatibility between charging piles and electric vehicles, that is, a unified charging pile standard is required.

Should smart charging standards be adopted at the European level?

The Commission has asked European Standardisation Organisations to adopt key smart charging standards at the European level, which should at the same time speed up the international standardisation process. Among these are standards that will be based on ISO 15118, IEC 63110 and IEC 63119 (see page 16).

Can EV charging equipment be integrated into a building energy management system?

In order to enable customer-friendly integration of EV charging equipment into a building energy management system, it is key that other standards, such as IEC 63110, build on the energy flexibility abstractions defined in the CEM standard. This is seen as the de facto implementation of the standard.
