<\/div>\n\n

Charging modes? Let’s start with the fact that electric vehicles are those in which the drive is provided by electric motor(s) powered by a battery pack. An internal combustion engine is not present, only when hybrid cars are involved. <\/p>\n\n

Examples of such vehicles are: electric bicycles, electric scooters or motorcycles, electric cars, etc. <\/p>\n\n

In this article we go into the four different electric vehicle charging modes.<\/p>\n\n

Charging mode 1 <\/h3>\n\n

Slow charging (6-8 h) This type of charging is done in alternating current (AC), up to 16 A. Allowed only in private domestic environment. A simple household outlet or industrial outlet up to 32 A can be used, and there is no protection and no communication with the vehicle. <\/p>\n\n

This mode is the usual one for light vehicles, such as electric motorcycles.<\/p>\n\n

Charging mode 2<\/h3>\n\n

Slow charging (6-8 h) at 16 A, (alternating current) allowed in domestic and public environments. Sockets that can be used are domestic or industrial ones up to 32 A. There is a device called Control Box (PWM Safety System) on the vehicle power cord that ensures safe operations during charging. <\/p>\n\n

This protection device called the “Incable Control Box” (ICCB) has the function of regulating power and monitoring safety parameters (such as integrating differential protection).<\/p>\n\n

This type is applicable only in domestic and industrial settings, not for open third-party or public charging.<\/p>\n\n

Charging mode 3<\/h3>\n\n

Slow charging (6-8 h) at 16 A or medium fast charging (30 min – 1 h) at 63 A, 400V (PWM safety system mode), allowed in home and public environment. Recharging must be done through an appropriate power supply system equipped with specific connectors. <\/p>\n\n

It occurs when the electric vehicle is connected to a stationary charging station (EVSE) that provides: communication with the vehicle via a PWM protocol, managing enablement and appropriate safety locks.<\/p>\n\n

With this charging mode, through Type 2 connectors and sockets, the vehicle can be charged in three-phase current up to 63 A (about 44kW) in both private and public settings, like what any of our Prisms<\/a> do.<\/p>\n\n

Charging mode 4<\/h3>\n\n

Ultra-fast charging (5-10 min) in direct current up to 200 A, 400 V, allowed only in public environment. Vehicles can be recharged in a few minutes with this system; the charger is external to the vehicle. <\/p>\n\n

Charging mode 4 is possible when charging is done through a fixed direct current (DC) station that is equipped with the control and protection functions.It can be equipped with a Type 2 plug, for currents up to 80A or a Combo type, for currents up to 200A for power up to 170 kW.<\/p>\n\n
