A New universal charging system for electric vehicles

The worldwide infrastructure of charging stations for electric vehicles[EV] may seem overwhelming, you know what would make it even more challenging? If each station had to separately cater to each make of EV on the road think of how many different styles of mobile phone chargers are currently out there, for instance, & then picture that applying to cars. Fortunately a consortium of automakers has developed the Combined Charging System that will allow any one vehicle to charge its batteries using a variety of different charging methods.

The system was developed by Germany's Audi, BMW, Daimler, Porsche, & Volkswagen, working in partnership with America's Ford & General Motors.

It consists of a single interface on the vehicle, which is compatible with methods such as one-phase AC-charging, fast three-phase AC/DC charging at home & ultra~fast DC charging at public stations. This is intended to make EV development a less complex process, as vehicles won't need to incorporate multiple inlets, nor will their drivers need to seek out specific charging stations. Instead, all electric vehicles will be able to recharge at all stations.

The technology also features a charging communication system, along with an electrical & safety architecture, that will work with any vehicle using the system.

The Combined Charging System is being demonstrated at the 15th International VDI Congress & Exhibition [Electronic Systems for Motor Vehicles], which takes place this Wednesday & Thursday in Baden~Baden. It should be ready for deployment in the auto industry by the middle of next year.
