I will update the first post to give an overview, but the CP ECU (Charge Port Electronic? Control Unit) is responsible for:gleb wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 2:33 pmHi. kudos on your project.mdrobnak wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 10:44 pm http://www.setec-power.com/ccs-adapter/
Apparently 200 A (so 50A higher than the CHAdeMO adapter) to US Tesla...
Sorry for the layman's question, but what does a charge port controller do?
From the videos that @Jack Bauer posted I understood that ECU box does the talking between the battery and the charging station, where does charge port controller sits in this scheme, and how is CCS 2 Tesla adapter affects this?
* Talking to the EVSE, which can be (not necessarily a complete list):
- J1772 or EU Equivalent
- CHAdeMO via adapter
- CCS on EU units
- Chinese GB standards
- Tesla Superchargers
* Talking to the Battery Management System
* Talking to the Charger (PCS)
* Talking to the car gateway for things like VIN for Superchargers
It allows the power to get from the charge port, to the battery, either directly in the case of fast charging, or via the charger for AC charging.
We are not involved with the CCS type 2 adapter - that is for Model S and X. My link was for _US_ cars for CCS type 1. Those of us who are Tesla owners were hoping for an official adapter, but looks like this 3rd party has done it.
I hope that answers your question.
