GB/T 20234.3 defines how rapid DC charging works. There is just one nationwide DC charging system in China, rather than competing systems like CHAdeMO, CCS, Tesla-modified, etc., found in other countries.

Electric vehicles or electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) are CCS-capable if they support either AC or DC charging according to the standards listed by the CCS. Automobile manufacturers that support CCS include BMW, Daimler, FCA, Jaguar, Groupe PSA, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, MG, Nissan, Polestar, Renault, Rivian, Tesla, Mahindra, Tata Motors and Volkswagen Group, [2] [3] Gaton, Bryce (December 21, 2022).

European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. 25 May 2012 . Retrieved 16 August 2021.CCS stands for ‘Combined Charging System’ – ‘combined’ because it uses a slow-charging Type 2 connector to build on. It adds two extra DC power lines, which can then run a higher voltage than the standard connector. Unlike the connector and inlet, which depend on the geographical location, the charging communication is the same around the globe. Generally two types of communication can be differentiated.

Electric car charger types, connectors and speeds - RAC

The Type 2 and Type 1 connectors are very similar by design on the outside. But they very different on application and supported power grid. CCS2 (and its predecessor, Type 2) have no upper circle segment, while CCS1 has a completely circular design. That’s why CCS1 can’t replace its European brother, at least without special adapter. Using a CCS connector is really simple and no different than most other EV chargers. You’ll just need to park safely near the charging point and plug in. The charging unit will usually have instructions to help with the details, but it’s a simple process that you’ll soon get used to. Both rapid and ultra-rapid chargers usually use tethered cables that are permanently connected to the charging unit, so you can’t remove them.Hi everyone, I’m new to ev owning and am loving it so far. I have a new ZE50 136 GT Line with a type 2 charging plug and I have an Ohme smart charger installed at home. Forgive my ignorance, but I noticed that the the plug on a ccs charger lead tethered to public chargers seems to have a type 2 outlet surmounted by the 2 pin dc outlet. You might want to reserve rapid charging for occasions where it’s really needed, and use a standard charger overnight to do your regular charging. Learn more about electric cars: An ever-growing number of our patrol vans have built-in emergency mobile charging systems capable of giving an out-of-charge electric car enough power to be driven a short distance home, or to a charge point. Our All-Wheels-Up recovery system also allows our patrols to safely rescue electric cars with no need for a flatbed.
