2 The Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE) defines the general physical, electrical, communication, and performance requirements for EV charging systems used in North America, as part of the SAE J1772 standard. Below are the current charging levels that are practiced in the North American market. Type 1 (SAE J1772) is a single-phase connector and is a standard for EVs in North America and Japan. It allows you to charge your car at a rates of up to 19.2 kW. Of course, this is contingent on the compacity of your car’s on-board charger, voltage and amperage grid capability. • Charging "levels" are specific to Type 1 (SAE J1772) and are used to categorize the rated power, voltage, and current of the charging system. The evolving standard currently has 2 different EV charging levels for AC Charging. AC Level 1: Residential charging from a standard 120V outlet with a maximum current of 12 or 16A. AC Level 2: Residential, Workplace charging from a standard 240V outlet or from a dedicated EV charge point (EVSE). In this scenerio, 240V AC, with a maximum current of 80A provides for a maximum power of 19.2KW. In this configuration, the EV's on-board charger converts AC to DC. Type 2 (IEC 62196) Plugs, socket-outlets, vehicle connectors and vehicle inlets - Conductive charging of electric vehicles is a series of international standards that define requirements and tests for plugs, socket-outlets, vehicle connectors and vehicle inlets for conductive charging of electric vehicles. Type 2 (IEC 62196) connectors have three additional wires allowing for triple-phase power and current providing for higher charging rates when compared to single-phase Type 1 (SAE J1772) connectors. For residential charging, the highest charging rate is 19.2 kW, while charging stations can achieve charging rates of up to 43 kW. Again, this is dependant on the compacity of your car's on-board charger, as well as the your scenarios voltage and amperage grid CCS1 & CCS2 EV Charging Connectors & Inlets AC EV Charging Connectors & Inlets Type 1 (SAE J1772) | UL 2251 | Japan, Canada & United States Type 2 (IEC 62196) | TUV | Australia, Europe, India & Thailand The Combined Charging System (CCS) is a standard for charging electric vehicles, which uses Combo 1 and Combo 2 AC/DC inlets which can be used with both AC and DC connectors to provide power at up to 400kW. Combined Charging System connectors and inlets are an extension of the Type 1 (SAE J1772) and Type 2 (IEC 62196) connectors. These connectors have two additional direct current (DC) contacts to support high-power DC fast charging. CCS Inlets support AC/DC charging while CCS connectors support DC charging only. capability.
