AIC EV specifications for AC and DC charging

1. AIC EV specifications for AC and DC charging What is an Electric Vehicle Supply Unit (EVSE)? In simple terms, an EVSE is a wall mounted box that - that supplies electric energy for the recharging of electric vehicle batteries. The wall charger or charging station is really just a device that safely allows electricity to flow. The EVSE enhances safety by enabling two-way communication between the charging station and the electric vehicle. Also EVSE's have a safety lock-out feature that does not allow current to flow from the device until the plug is physically inserted into the car. AIC EV specs recommend using EVSE's to charge any EV safely as compared to using a simple 15 Amp 240 V socket. Also the current passed to the vehicle is both below the limits of the EVSE and below the limits of what the car can receive. Also most EVSE's come with added features like  Authentication  Integrated payment gateways  Software for Remote monitoring So essentially an EVSE is a wall mounted box that - that supplies electric energy to the onboard charger for the recharging of electric vehicle batteries, with lots of intelligence built-in. You can be assured that you are charging your EV in a safe and smart manner. Home Charging The home private chargers are generally used with 230V/15A single phase plug which can deliver a maximum of up to about 2.5KW of power. Thus, the vehicles can be charged only up to this rate. Public Charging For charging outside the home premises, AIC EV standards recommends that the electric power needs to be billed and payment needs to be collected. The power utilities may also want to manage power drawn by these chargers from time to time.

2. AC "Slow" Charging Slow AC charging is the most common method of charging electric vehicles. An EVSE supplies AC current to the vehicle’s onboard charger which in turn converts the AC power to DC allowing the battery to be charged. Under AC Charging there are 2 categories of charging  Normal AC charging These AC 2.5KW or 3KW Chargers could fast charge a 2-wheeler (for a battery with an energy density of 2KWh) in an hour’s time; 4-wheeler or larger vehicles with batteries of 12 KWh or more will be charged in five to six hours.  Fast AC charging Global electric cars like the Nissan Leaf or the Tesla have on board chargers with higher power ratings. This enables AC charging at a faster rate, from 7.7 kw to 22 kw. AC Plug Connectors Indian electric cars use the IEC 60309 Industrial Blue connectors and AIC EV specifications recommend using this plug. Global EV's use the IEC 62196 Type 2 connector. This plug was selected by the European Commission as official charging plug within the European Union. It has since been adopted as the recommended connector in countries outside of Europe. DC Fast Charging In this method of charging, DC current is sent to the electric car's battery directly via the DC charge port. Fast charging’s faster charge rate (usually 50 kiloWatts or more outside India) can supply 100 or more km's of range per hour of charging. A significant fast charging network available should make electric cars more attractive than otherwise, and lead to higher adoption rates. Power rating of fast chargers are  10kW/15kW/30kW/50kW or even higher capacity. Voltage rating at which fast charging has to be carried out

3.  48V/72V for Indian electric cars like the Mahindra e2o Plus P8, Mahindra e-Verito and upcoming Tata electric cars  Up to 750V or even higher used by global electric cars like Nissan Leaf and others Level 1 DC Chargers Public DC Chargers at output voltage of 48V / 72V, with power outputs of 10 kW / 15 kW with maximum current of up to 200A. As per the AIC EV specs, these will be called Level 1 DC Chargers. Level 2 DC Chargers Public DC Chargers at output voltage up to 1000V, with power outputs of 30 kW / 150 kW. These will be called Level 2 DC Chargers.
