The electric vehicle (EV) charging landscape features three major standards: Combined Charging System (CCS), CHAdeMO, and GB/T. Each standard plays a crucial role in the global EV charging infrastructure, offering unique specifications and regional adaptations.
Combined Charging System (CCS)
CCS has emerged as a prominent charging standard, widely adopted in Europe and North America. This unified charging system combines AC and DC charging capabilities in a single inlet, providing flexibility for various charging scenarios.
CHAdeMO
Developed in Japan, CHAdeMO remains a significant player in the Asian market. This standard pioneered high-power DC charging and continues to evolve with technological advancements in the EV industry.
GB/T Standard
China’s GB/T standard has become increasingly important in the global EV ecosystem. As the world’s largest EV market, China’s charging infrastructure significantly influences international charging technologies.
