Understanding CCS2 Chargers

A CCS2 charger (Combined Charging System Type 2) is the gold standard for EV charging across Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Unlike fragmented charging systems, CCS2 integrates AC and DC power delivery through a single, streamlined CCS2 plug, ensuring compatibility with nearly every modern EV. Key components include:

• CCS2 Connector: A charging connector engineered for high-power DC charging, reducing downtime for drivers.
• CCS2 Charging Cable: Available in air-cooled (80A–400A) and liquid-cooled (500A–800A) configurations to meet diverse power needs.
• CCS2 Charging Port: The universal inlet on EVs that accepts CCS2 connectors, designed for durability and safety. A combination of AC and DC charging.

This unified approach simplifies infrastructure development, making CCS2 the preferred choice for governments and automakers alike.

The Evolution of the Combined Charging System (CCS)

The Combined Charging System (CCS) was developed to eliminate the confusion of multiple charging standards. CCS2, in particular, combines the Type 2 AC connector (commonly used in Europe) with two additional DC pins, enabling ultra-fast charging. Its benefits are clear:

• Global Standardization: Over 90% of non-Tesla EVs in Europe and Asia rely on CCS2. (the rest adopt the ChAdemo connectors or CCS1)
• High Efficiency: Supports power outputs over 350 kW, cutting charging times by 50% compared to older systems.
• Scalability: Designed to accommodate future advancements in battery technology.

CCS1 vs CCS2: Breaking Down the Differences

While CCS1 (used in North America) and CCS2 share the same foundational technology, critical distinctions impact their regional adoption:

Feature	CCS1	CCS2
Connector Design	Type 1 (J1772)	Type 2 (Mennekes)
Primary Market	North America	Europe, Asia, Oceania
Max Power	350 kW	350 kW+ (liquid-cooled)
EV Compatibility	Limited to CCS1 vehicles	Broad OEM support

CCS1 is mainly used in North America (USA, Canada, Mexico) and South Korea, while CCS2 is widely adopted in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, parts of Asia (including India, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong), South America, South Africa, Arabia, Greenland, and Iceland.

The other major difference, is their AC charging capacity, for CCS1 it supports 1-phase AC charging. max current 80A, max capacity is 240V*80A=19.2KW, While CCS2 supports 3-phase AC charging, max current 63A, max charging capacity is up to 43KW.

For businesses expanding globally, CCS2’s widespread adoption makes it the smarter long-term investment.

CCS2 Charging Speed: What You Need to Know

CCS2 charging speed is a game-changer for drivers and fleet operators. Here’s how it works:

1. Cable Technology:
   • Air-Cooled Cables (80A–400A): Ideal for urban fast-charging stations. Our latest 375A CCS2 charging cable, can charge continuously at 1000V 375A, at boost model it support 400A charging. ( at 400A in one hour, temperature rise less than 50K) ideal choice for rapid charge.
   • Liquid-Cooled Cables (500A–800A): Minimize energy loss, enabling ultra-fast charging for highways and commercial hubs.
2. Vehicle Compatibility: Newer EVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Mercedes EQS support 225–270 kW charging via CCS2.
3. Grid Integration: Our chargers include smart load-balancing features to optimize power draw without straining local grids.

With Fiver’s liquid-cooled CCS type 2 charging cables, a 10–80% charge takes just 18 minutes for a 100 kWh battery—keeping fleets on the move and drivers on schedule.
