As the main component of telex, EV cable is the carrier of power signal transmission, which plays a huge role in the charging process of electric vehicles. EV cables can be mainly divided into cable materials for charging pile stations and high-voltage cables in vehicles.

1. Main requirements for EV cables for new energy vehicles

EV cable is the main component of telex, which is mainly divided into charging pile/station cable materials and in-car high-voltage cable materials. Due to the high voltage, high current and harsh environment of use, the industry has put forward very high safety specifications and use requirements for cable materials.

2. Eight materials and standards commonly used in EV cables

At present, the eight materials commonly used in EV cables are XLPE, TPE, TPV, TPU, EPR, PVC/HNBR, silicone, and CPE/CR.

(1) Application of XLPE in EV cables

XLPE is mainly used for high-voltage cables in the car. The temperature resistance is good enough to burn red with an electric soldering iron, and it will remain on it for 10-20 seconds without damage. In 2017, the high-voltage cable in the car is mainly made of XLPE. Its standards in different application fields are as follows:

High voltage cable: ISO 6722, QC/T 1073, CQC1122/ DECRAK179 Charging cable: CQC1103 -1105, DECRA K175

(2) Application of TPE in EV cables

Compared with other cable materials, TPE has the advantages of adjustable softness, good touch, small specific gravity and high cost performance. Its standards in different application fields are as follows:

High voltage cable ISO 6722, QC/T 1073, CQC1122/ DECRA K179  Charging cable CQC1103 -1105, DECRA K175 EN50620, UL62

(3) Application of TPU in EV cables

TPU is mainly used in Europe, and some large cable factories in southern and central China want to develop TPU materials. Its standards in different application fields are as follows:

Charging cable CQC1103 -1105, DECRA, K175 EN50620, UL62

(4) Application of EPR in EV cables

EPR is used more in Europe, and is generally used in the core wire of charging piles. Its standards in different application fields are as follows:

High voltage cable ISO 6722, QC/T 1073, CQC1122/ DECRA K179 Charging cable CQC1103 -1105, DECRAK175, EN50620, UL62

(5) Application of silica gel in EV cables

ISO 6722, QC/T 1073, CQC1122/ DECRA K179

(6) Application of PVC/HNBR in EV cables

This material is currently the most used in China because of its excellent feel and softness. However, due to the halogen content, environmental protection issues need to be resolved in the future. Its standards in different application fields are as follows:

Charging cable: CQC1103 -1105, DECRAK175, UL62

(7) Application of CPE/CR in EV cables

Compared with other cable materials, CPE/CR has better oil resistance and crack resistance. Its standards in different application fields are as follows:

Charging cable: CQC1103/CJS4522

(8) Application of TPV in EV cables

TPV appears less in the market, because the processing temperature is high, more than 200 degrees, if there is no suitable color masterbatch, it is easy to change color.

Its standards in different application fields are as follows:

Charging cable: CQC1103

 1. What the SAE JI772 standard is

SAE J1772, also known as IEC Type 1 (IEC 62196 Type 1) or J plug, is the electrical connector standard for electric vehicles in North America. It is maintained by the International Society of Automotive Engineers. The official name is SAE Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice J1772, SAE Electric Vehicle Conductive Charge Coupler. These include the physical characteristics, electronic characteristics, communication protocols and performance requirements of the electric vehicle conductive charging system and the vehicle-side coupler. Its purpose is to define a general electric vehicle conductive charging system architecture, including general requirements for vehicle sockets and mating connectors, performance requirements and size requirements.

2. The development history of SAE JI772

The main force driving the development of chademo j1772 is from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). In the past, electric vehicles (such as General Motors EV1) were charged by inductive couplers. But later it was not recommended, and started to promote conductive car charging. Then, the California Air Resources Board also formulated the SAE J1772-2001 standard in June 2001 as the standard for electric vehicle charging in California.

The 2001 CARB regulations mandated that from 2006 onwards, the J1772-2001 specification must be introduced into the production of electric vehicles. CARB proposed a draft amendment to Title 13 section 1962.2 in 2008, compelling cars to be marketed from 2010 to use the SAE J1772 standard proposed later, and this amendment was passed in 2012.

Many electric vehicle depots after 2000 adopted the SAE J1772-2009 standard, such as the third generation of Chevrolet Volanda and Nissan Leaf, as well as earlier models. This connector has become a standard device in the U.S. market, mainly because there are many charging stations with this type of connector in the U.S. electric vehicle network (U.S. Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act has subsidies for programs like ChargePoint America, which also has some help).

The European version of the vehicle is also equipped with SAE J1772-2009 connectors, until European car manufacturers decide to use IEC Type 2 "Mennekes" connectors as standard connectors, and all IEC connectors use the same SAE J1772 communication protocol, so car manufacturers can follow the market needs, and vehicles with SAE J1772-2009 connectors or IEC Type 2 connectors are sold. There are also converters for these two types of connectors on the market.

As a professional ev charging equipment manufacturer, AG Electrical's products are developed in accordance with SAE J1772, GB/T20234, IEC 62196 and other mainstream standards, and can be applied to different brands of electric vehicles and charging stations. We are striving to provide you with the latest standard electric vehicle charging equipment.

As one of the most reliable electric car charging unit manufacturers, we provide public charging cable, j1772 home charger, ev type 2 charging cable, electric vehicle charging solutions and etc. Contact us to know more.

 EV charging mode 1

In this mode, the EV is connected directly to a home socket. The maximum current of this mode is 16 A, and for single-phase systems the voltage should not exceed 250 V. For three-phase networks, the voltage should not exceed 480V.

The EV connects to the basic structure of a household socket.

Mode 1 is the simplest charging mode and does not support any communication between the EV charging cable and the charging point. This charging method is banned or restricted in many countries/regions.

EV charging mode 2

Household sockets do not always provide power according to actual standards. In addition, sockets and plugs designed specifically for home applications may not be able to withstand continuous current consumption at maximum ratings.

That's why connecting an EV charging cable to a socket without controls and safety features for an extended period of time increases the risk of electric shock. To solve this problem, the experts developed mode 2 ev charging, which uses a special EV charging cable equipped with an in-cable control and protection device (IC-CPD). The safety features of this mode can detect and monitor protective grounding.

While Mode 2 EV charging can be used for private billing, its public use is restricted in many countries/regions.

EV charging mode 3

This mode utilizes dedicated EVSE and EV car chargers. An alternating current from the charging station is applied to the on-board circuit to charge the battery. Several control and protection functions are used to ensure public safety. This includes the verification of protective ground connections and connections between EVSE and EV.

In addition, this mode adjusts the charging current to the maximum current capacity of the cable assembly. The maximum current in this charging mode is 32A for 250 V 1-phase or 480 V 3-phase networks. It also supports a mode 2 compatible operating mode where the maximum current is limited to less than 32A in both phase 1 and phase 3.

EV charging mode 4

This is the only charging mode that combines a non-on-board charger with a DC output. DC current is sent directly to the battery and bypassed to the car charger. This mode provides A maximum current of 600V DC 400A. The high power levels involved in this mode require higher levels of communication and more stringent security features.

 With the rapid development and popularization of new energy electric cars, an increasing number of consumers purchase electric vehicles. The accessories market brought about by the charging method of electric vehicles has emerged in the new energy vehicle market.

New energy electric vehicles can be directly plugged in to a 220V household power supply to charge. When consumers buy a car, the manufacturer will give away a home car charger, but their charging power is small, most of which are only 1.6KW. Take an electric car as an example: its battery capacity is 16.9 KWh, the time from 0 to fully charged is 16.9kWh/1.6KW=10.5h. The maximum current carried by the 220V household power supply is 16A, and the maximum charging power is 220V*16A=3.5KW. That is to say, to plug the electric car charging cord directly into a 220V, 16A household socket for charging, the charging power is about 3.3KW. Besides, it can match all new energy electric vehicles perfectly.

The specification, model, quality, and other factors of electric vehicle charging cables affect the charging power; simultaneously, the charging process puts forward higher requirements on the charging cable. The charging cable needs to transmit power and needs to control the charging action under necessary conditions to complete the charging process safely and reliably.

Next, we will introduce the correct charging method for everyone:

1. After the light turns green, continue charging for 2-3 hours.

2. The charging principle is shallow discharge and frequent charging. Even if the distance is not far enough, it must be charged in time to avoid recharging when the power is exhausted.

3. If you don't use it for a long time, you should charge it regularly (2-3 months).

4. For batteries that are not fully discharged for a long period, a complete discharge is carried out in about three months, that is, recharge all the electricity, which is beneficial to the activation of the long-term immobile materials in the deep part of the battery.
