Standards for the Charging Process

The international market for DC charging is undergoing an accelerated process of adaptation and consolidation. Over the past two years, Tesla’s NACS ecosystem has reignited the interoperability debate, and OEMs are driving integration forward. Meanwhile, megawatt charging (MCS) for heavy commercial vehicles is transitioning from the pilot phase to initial commercial installations and is expected to steadily grow in the coming years. This increases the need for multi-standard strategies, including CCS, among various stakeholders.

 

This dynamic development is further complemented by the growing demand for digital standards, such as ISO 15118 (Plug & Charge).

International charging standards are firmly in sight.

innolectric keeps track of these developments and integrates relevant standards directly into its products. Our products meet all market requirements and communication standards, including DIN SPEC and ISO 15118-20. Thanks to our updatable system architecture, new protocols can be installed at any time. This ensures that your applications will remain compatible and up to date in the future. Our development departments understand:

 

What requirements are placed on the hardware, especially the power electronics, in the charging infrastructure and on the vehicle side?

How is charging communication structured in the various use cases?

How are power electronics and charging communication interlinked?
