CCS Fast Charging (Overview)
Disclaimer: This Page is still work in progress! Any information written here is a draft only and should be handled as such. Contributions more then welcome. If you have questions please ask them in the discussion section of the page or in the OpenInverter Forum.
This Page is meant to give an Overview of CCS Fast Charging in general (& on a basic level an understanding how it works).
There are two main projects: An integrated EV charge controller dubbed Foccci and a python based EV and EVSE side stack dubbed pyPLC.
Minimum Voltage
Each charger type has a certain minimum voltage which it is able to provide. This means, to be able to use a charger, the battery voltage in empty state must be at a certain level. The charger reports this voltage in the message DIN.ChargeParameterResponse.EVSEMinimumVoltageLimit.
| Min Voltage | Charger Types |
|---|---|
| 50V | ABB triple charger,
ABB HPC Efacec QC45 triple charger |
| 100V | Kempower |
| 150V | Alpitronics HYC300,
Numbat, PhiPhong, QingdaoPenodato |
| 200V | Compleo Cito BM (20kW Triple),
Ionity Tritium |
| 229.99V | Tesla Supercharger V3 |
CCS solutions for DIY cars
Goal: listing all current projects related to CCS currently ongoing and finished (examples: I3 LIM, pyPLC, Foccci (sometimes miss-spelled as Focci), Clara, etc.) in a sorted manner.
- I3 LIM solution: (todo add link)
- Foccci+Clara solution: Foccci - openinverter.org wiki
- pyPLC: https://github.com/uhi22/pyPLC
Additionally you will find a list of succesfull implementations by the OpenInverter Community linked at the bottom.
