There are many differences between GB/T DC Charging Pile and CCS2 DC Charging Pile, which are mainly reflected in technical specifications, compatibility, application scope and charging efficiency. The following is a detailed analysis of the differences between the two, and gives advice when choosing.
1. The difference between the technical specifications
Current and voltage
CCS2 DC Charging Pile: Under the European standard, CCS2 DC Charging Pile can support charging with a maximum current of 400A and a maximum voltage of 1000V. This means that the European standard charging pile has higher charging capacity technically.
GB/T DC Charging Pile: Under China’s national standard, GB/T DC Charging Pile only supports charging with maximum current of 200A and maximum voltage of 750V. Although it can also meet the charging needs of most electric vehicles, it is more limited than the European standard in terms of current and voltage.
Charging power
CCS2 DC Charging Pile: Under the European standard, the power of CCS2 DC Charging Pile can reach 350kW, and the charging speed is faster.
GB/T DC Charging Pile: Under the GB/T Charging Pile, the charging power of the GB/T DC Charging Pile can only reach 120kW, and the charging speed is relatively slow.
Power Standard
European standard: The power standard of European countries is three-phase 400V.
China standard: The power standard in China is three-phase 380 V. Therefore, when choosing a GB/T DC Charging Pile, you need to consider the local power situation to ensure the effectiveness and safety of charging.
2. Compatibility difference
CCS2 DC Charging Pile: It adopts CCS (Combined Charging System) standard, which has strong compatibility and can be adapted to a variety of brands and models of electric vehicles. This standard is not only widely used in Europe, but also adopted by more and more countries and regions.
GB/T DC Charging Pile: It is mainly applicable to electric vehicles that comply with China’s national standards. Although the compatibility has been improved in recent years, the application scope in the international market is relatively limited.
3. The difference in the scope of application
CCS2 DC Charging Pile: also known as the European charging standard, it is widely used in Europe and other countries and regions adopting the CCS standard, and is widely applied in European regions, including but not limited to the following countries:
Germany: As the leader of the European electric vehicle market, Germany has a large number of CCS2 DC Charging Piles to meet the growing demand for electric vehicle charging.
The Netherlands: The Netherlands is also very active in the construction of EV charging infrastructure, with a high coverage of CCS2 DC Charging Piles in the Netherlands.
France, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, etc. These European countries have also widely adopted CCS2 DC Charging Piles to ensure that EVs can be charged efficiently and conveniently throughout the country.
The charging pile standards in the European region mainly include IEC 61851, EN 61851, etc. These standards stipulate the technical requirements, safety specifications, test methods, etc. of charging piles. In addition, there are some related regulations and directives in Europe, such as EU Directive 2014/94/EU, which requires that member states must establish a certain number of charging piles and hydrogen refuelling stations within a certain period of time in order to promote the development of electric vehicles.
GB/T DC Charging Pile: Also known as China Charging Standard, the main areas of use are China, the five Central Asian countries, Russia, Southeast Asia, and the ‘Belt and Road Countries’. As one of the largest electric vehicle markets in the world, China attaches great importance to the construction of charging infrastructure. GB/T DC Charging Piles are widely used in major Chinese cities, highway service areas, commercial car parks and other places, providing strong support for the popularity of electric vehicles.
The Chinese charging standards for conductive charging systems, connecting devices for charging, charging protocols, interoperability and communication protocol conformance refer to national standards such as GB/T 18487, GB/T 20234, GB/27930 and GB/T 34658, respectively. These standards ensure the safety, reliability and compatibility of charging piles and provide a unified technical specification for charging electric vehicles.
How to choose between CCS2 and GB/T DC Charging Station?
Choose according to the type of vehicle:
If your electric vehicle is a European brand or has a CCS2 charging interface, it is recommended to choose a CCS2 DC charging Station to ensure the best charging results.
If your EV is made in China or has a GB/T charging interface, a GB/T DC charging post will meet your needs.
Consider charging efficiency:
If you pursue faster charging speeds and your vehicle supports high power charging, you can choose a CCS2 DC charging post.
If charging time is not a major consideration, or the vehicle itself does not support high power charging, GB/T DC chargers are also an economical and practical choice.
Consider compatibility:
If you often need to use your electric vehicle in different countries or regions, it is recommended to choose a more compatible CCS2 DC charging post.
If you mainly use your vehicle in China and do not require high compatibility, GB/T DC chargers can meet your needs.
Consider the cost factor:
Generally speaking, CCS2 DC charging piles have higher technical content and manufacturing costs, and are therefore relatively more expensive.
GB/T DC chargers are more affordable and suitable for users with limited budget.
To sum up, when choosing between CCS2 and GB/T DC charging piles, you need to make comprehensive considerations based on various aspects such as vehicle type, charging efficiency, compatibility and cost factors.
