EV charging cables are used for EV charging connection, commonly found in charging stations, parking lots, hotels, neighborhoods, etc. Portable charging cables can be placed directly in the car. So what are the requirements for EV charging cables in order to better complete the whole charging process?
1、Produced in accordance with the relevant standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission
For the safety of use, EV charging cables should be produced according to the relevant standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission. Although the standards referenced by countries all over the world are different, the materials used are similar. As long as the production follows the safety principle, the charging cable will not affect the later use despite the difference.
2、For charging safety, EV charging cable needs to add flame retardant materials
The selection of raw materials of the cable is closely related to the performance and safety of the charging cable itself, and the cable needs to add flame retardant materials to ensure the safety of car charging.
3、It needs to have information transmission function
EV charging cable is a carrier connecting EV charging device and charging infrastructure, and its main role is to transmit power to EV, and it generally needs to be equipped with a certain number of signal lines, control lines and power auxiliary lines to ensure that the whole charging process is accurately controlled and operated safely without errors.
4、Real-time monitoring of the charging process
In order to ensure the charging safety of the car itself, it is necessary for the EV charging cable to monitor the whole charging process in real time to ensure the maximum benefit and safety of users. EV charging requires the charging cable to have an intelligent mode, which is not only a requirement for the car, but also for the charging station, charging pile and even the charging cable.
5、Requirements for charging cable performance
Since EV charging cable is used outdoors, it is often disturbed by rain, sunlight, oil and other external factors, so the charging cable is required to meet the requirements of oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, water resistance, abrasion resistance, crush resistance and flame retardant, and all materials comply with environmental standards such as RoHS 2.0 & REACH.
