What is CCS J1772 Combo 1 Plug for DC Charger Station?

What is CCS J1772 Combo 1 Plug for DC Charger Station?

What is J1772 combo?
The J1772 Combo is an Electric Vehicle charging standard set forth by SAE and is an evolution of the older J1772 connector. … If you have a Tesla, or other non-J1772Combo vehicle, adapters are usually available.

Is CCS the same as J1772?
The CCS system in Europe combines the Type 2 connector with the tow dc fast charge pins the same way it does in North America with the J1772 connector, so while it’s also called CCS, it’s a slightly different connector.

CharIn’s recommendation for the untapped markets is to go with CCS2.
The map that you see above shows which CCS Combo fast charging standards were officially selected (on government/industry level) in particular markets.

CCS Combo Charging Standard Map: See Where CCS1 And CCS2 Are Used

The Combined Charging System (CCS) is available in two separate versions (not physically compatible) – CCS Combi 1/CCS1 (based on SAE J1772 AC, also called SAE J1772 Combo or AC Type 1) or CCS Combo 2/CCS 2 (based on the European AC Type 2).

As we can see on the map, provided by Phoenix Contact (using CharIN data), the situation is complicated.

CCS1: North America is the primary market. South Korea also also signed in, sometimes CCS1 is used in other countries.
CCS2: Europe is the primary market, joined by multiple other market officially (Greenland, Australia, South America, South Africa, Saudi Arabia) and seen in multiple other countries that not yet decided.
CharIN, the company responsible for the coordination of the CSS development, recommends for the untapped markets to join the CCS2 as it’s more universal (besides DC and 1-phase AC, it can handle also 3-phase AC). China sticks with its own GB/T charging standards, while Japan is all-in with CHAdeMO.

CCS (Combined Charging System): The CCS connector uses the J1772 charging inlet, and adds two more pins below. It “combines” the J1772 connector with the high speed charging pins, which is how it got its name. CCS is the accepted standard in North America, and was developed and endorsed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Just about every automaker today has agreed to use the CCS standard in North America
