Below you can read about EV charging points key fact;
Electric vehicle supply equipment ( EVSE ) is a key component in the roll-out of charging infrastructure for EVs using a conductive or wireless charging solutions.
Most EVs can charge from a conventional three-pin socket using Mode 2 charging equipment often supplied with the vehicle.
EVSE for conductive charging solutions supports two principal charging options:
- AC supply for the on-board vehicle charger; and
- EVSE charger for DC supply to vehicle battery
There is wide power range in EVSE, which may range from as low as 6A to well over 100A and four commonly adopted charging methods, called ” modes “.
This are described bellow:
- Mode 1 charging
In mode 1 charging, connection of the EV to the AC supply network utilizes standardized socket-outlets not exceeding 16A and not exceeding 250 Volts of AC single phase or 480 Volts AC three-phase, at the supply side, and utilizing the power and protective earth conductors.
- Mode 2 charging
Mode 2 charging for single-phase domestic socket-outlet providing current of 10A or less. In mode 2 charging connection to the EV utilizes standardized socket-outlets not exceeding 32A and 250 V AC single-phase or 480V AC three-phase at the supply side, protected by earth conductor together with a control pilot and system of personal protection against electric shock between the EV and in-cable control box (ICCB)
- Mode 3 charging
In Mode 3 charging, connection of the EV to the AC supply network utilizes dedicated EVSE where the control pilot function extends to control equipment in the EVSE, permanently connected to the AC supply network. The EVSE may be supplied from a three-phase AC supply and will often incorporate Type 2 plugs where tethered cables are not used. AC charging equipment tends to be either in the form of ” charging points ” or wall-mounted charging units, and comes in variety of current ratings, for example 13A,16A and 32A.
- Mode 4 charging
In Mode 4 charging, either single-phase or three-phase AC is converted to DC within the EVSE. Resulting DC is supplied to the EV via a charging cable that is tethered to the EVSE. The control pilot function extends to equipment permanently connected to the AC supply. Due to it’s greater complexity, Mode 4 EVSE tends to be in the form of larger units that are usually designed to be wall or floor mounted.
