Combined Charging System

What is Combined Charging System?

A unified connector and protocol family enabling both AC and DC charging via one vehicle inlet (CCS1 in North America, CCS2 in Europe and India).

Why Combined Charging System Matters

• Fewer Ports: AC and DC combined.

• Faster Scaling: Common standard.

• Safer Sessions: Built-in checks.

• Easier Roaming: Network compatibility.

How It Works

CCS systems analyze:

• Vehicle voltage and current limits.

• Cable cooling.

• Authentication and billing.

• Grid signals.

Control systems manage:

• Reservations.

• Dynamic allocation.

• Thermal monitoring.

Key Technologies

• CCS inlets and cables.

• ISO 15118 and DIN protocols.

• High-amp cooled connectors.

• Utility meters.

• OCPP platforms.

Applications

• Intercity corridors.

• City fast hubs.

• Workplace DC posts.

• Fleet depots.

Benefits

• Consistent user experience.

• Faster rollout.

• Lower integration effort.

• Higher reliability.

Use Cases

• Corporate fleet programs.

• Mixed AC or DC sites.

• Cross-roaming.

• Plug & Charge OEM systems.

Callout: One global family. Flexible charging without guesswork.
