Combined Charging System (CCS) explained

In this video I will explain how the Combined Charging System (CCS) work and what is the process of communication between the car and the charging unit.

Your description of AC is wrong - In AC mode, the car does not tell the EVSE how much current it needs. The EVSE advertises the maximum available current to the car, and the car draws whatever it wants up to that maximum. This limit can vary during charging, e.g. for solar or load-balancing.

DC charging does not use the PWM signal. It uses the Homeplug Greenphy power-line comms protocol over the CP line when the PWM
duty is <5%

It was great video! Can you please share the slides or PDF of those documents you showed in video?

Could you kindly make a video about SLAC, please?

7:07 car is not sending PWM to charging station its other way.
station sends 1khz PWM to EV

One basic question - does DC DC charging and AC charging happen simultaneously at a time or one should opt of DC ultra fast charge or AC charge?

I’m at Egypt and here they use CCS2 for DC stations and I got Ford Focus Electric 2017 from USA and it’s CCS1, I use adapter, I can charge fine with ABB stations, but I can’t using EVbox stations. The car starts the lock on the gun and then it unlocks and the charging session terminate, why is that. ???

[enginerepairguy]

can i then buy a car in the US and charge in europe by just using an adapter?

Can we charge a vehicle-AC type-2 connector with DC current

How does the CCS chargers get the SOC on the car before charging? - I am quite sure I have see the SOC when charging my Tesla (Is it doing some canbus stuff somehow)

So technically if I have Electric motorcycle which has CCS charging port, and company given charger of 3.5kW, I can still charge the bike at public car chargers which are CCS no matter if they are 30kW or 60kW, CCS standard will negotiate correct amperage for my bike and it will be safe?

What will happen if set the PWM to 100%?.
