Introduction to EV Charging
On a mission to transition towards sustainability, India is leading the way with Electric Vehicles. The development of EV Infrastructure is essential for having a reliable ecosystem.
Key factors to consider for an EV Charging station
- Different levels of charging speeds and connector compatibility
- Need for smart, scalable solutions for developing EV Infrastructure
- Integration with smart grids for optimum use of energy
- Level 1 charging
- Level 2 charging
- Level 3 charging
- Typically used for home and public AC charging
- It provides fast charging and reliable performance
- Offers both DC and AC charging capabilities
- Offers fast and ultra-fast charging capabilities, making it suitable for long-distance travel and highway charging stations.
- The type-6 connector supports DC fast charging, making it ideal for highways, and public charging stations, giving quick turnaround time for EV users
- Designed to handle high-voltage, perfect fit for commercial EVs, ensuring fast and reliable charging for larger vehicles
- Supports V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) and V2X technologies
Understanding EV charging levels
You are probably aware of Octane ratings at the gas station (Regular, mid-grade, premium). Similarly, in EV, we have Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 charging. The higher the level, the faster the charging speed. delivered via CCS2, GB/T, Type 2, and Bharat AC/DC (AC-001 & DC-001) connectors, depending on the level. Bacancy ensures a seamless compatibility with India’s EV charging infrastructure and enables efficient AC and DC fast charging with advanced OCPP and CAN-based communication protocols.
Consists of a standard 220V outlet, the same as the outlet you use at your house, typically delivering 6.8- 15A, ideally used for overnight charging, which takes about 8-12 hours approximately. It uses basic plug-in charging with no communication protocols.
Consists of a 240V outlet and supplies up to 32A, which has built-in software to communicate with the EV and adjusts the power to faster charging than Level 1. This is ideally used for apartments, retail spaces, campuses, etc, and takes about 4-6 hours (depending on the SOC).
Consists of 400V or higher using direct current (DC) with current ratings 125 or higher. It is known for its rapid charging capability compared to other levels. This is primarily found on highways or in public places and is perfect for long-distance travel. It takes about 30-60 minutes. It uses CAN for charger-vehicle communication and OCPP protocol compatibility for backend integration with charging networks.
With cutting-edge technology and seamless integration, Bacancy’s CCS2 Controller and DC Fast Chargers ensure fast, efficient, and future-ready EV charging solutions.
Types of EV Charging Connectors in India
In India, EV connectors follow globally recognized standards to ensure compatibility across different vehicles. The most common connectors include:
Type 2 (AC Charging)
CCS2 (DC fast charging)
GB/T (DC Fast charging)
GB/T connector (also known as Bharat DC) is designed to power DC charging stations with fast and efficient charging capabilities. We can see GB/T (DC Fast charging) connectors primarily in commercial situations, and Bharat AC charger connectors are typically used for the slow charging of two-wheelers or small vehicles.
Type 6 connector
At Bacancy Systems, we specialize in providing both AC and DC Charger connectors, Type 2 and CCS2 connectors, ensuring that your EV charging infrastructure is future-ready and efficient.
