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).

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
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.

• LIM success stories: todo link forum articles and wiki pages
• pyPLC success stories: todo link forum articles
• The Foccci galery, photos of the cars which use Foccci: https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5077
