IEC 61851-1 Mode 3 fast charging

IEC 61851-1 Mode 3 refers to a fast charging method for electric vehicles (EVs) defined under the IEC 61851-1 standard. This mode enables AC charging at higher power levels compared to slower charging modes. Key characteristics of Mode 3 include:

Safety and Communication: It uses a dedicated charging cable with specific connectors, and communication between the electric vehicle and the charging station is facilitated to ensure safe and efficient charging.
AC Charging: This mode operates on alternating current (AC) and is typically used for public or home charging stations with higher power outputs.
Controlled Charging: Mode 3 ensures that the charging current is safely controlled and monitored through the communication channel between the EV and the charging station, providing protection against overcurrent and other risks.
Charging Power: Mode 3 typically supports charging power of up to 22kW, but can be higher depending on the infrastructure and vehicle capabilities.

It is widely used in Europe for residential and public charging, and is compatible with vehicles that support AC charging via the Type 2 connector (in compliance with the IEC 62196-2 standard).

IEC 62196 Type-2 cable connector for universal compatibility

The IEC 62196 Type 2 connector is a 7-pin design (for AC charging) that enables single-phase and three-phase charging. It is commonly known in Europe as the Mennekes connector. Cable lengths are typically between 5 and 10 meters, providing flexibility for the user.

The Type 2 connector is used by most electric vehicles in Europe. It supports a wide range of EV models from brands such as BMW, Audi, Mercedes and Renault. Although Type-2 is the main standard in Europe, it is also used in other parts of the world, especially for AC charging.

Type-2 connectors can typically handle three-phase charging up to 43 kW and are therefore suitable for public charging stations and fast charging networks. Single-phase charging is typically used for home charging and supports power levels up to 7.4 kW, depending on the vehicle and infrastructure.

The connector is designed for faster AC charging (Mode 3) with higher charging rates than older connectors such as Type-1. It offers flexible charging speeds depending on the capacity of the EV’s on-board charger and the power output of the charging station.

IEC 62196 Type-2 connectors are highly durable and can withstand regular outdoor use, including exposure to dust, water and varying temperatures (IP44 or higher). Proper electrical insulation and protection against overheating, overcurrent and other risks.

How to Choose the EV Charging for Commercial Property?

Q: What is a level 2 electric car charger?

A: A Level 2 electric car charger is a device that provides alternating current (AC) charging, typically used at home, commercial or public charging stations. It provides higher power than a Level 1 charger, typically delivering between 3.7kW and 22kW of charging power, which significantly reduces charging time.

Q: Are Level 2 chargers available for all electric cars?

A: Most modern electric vehicles support Level 2 charging, Level 2 chargers use either the J1772 connector (for the US market) or the IEC 62196 Type 2 connector (for the European market), both of which are widely used for charging electric vehicles. If your EV supports these standards, you can use a Level 2 charger.

Q: What is the cost of electricity with a Level 2 charger?

A: The cost of charging electricity depends on the cost of electricity in your area, the power of the charger, and the battery capacity of the electric vehicle you are using. In the U.S., the cost of electricity for home charging is approximately $0.12 to $0.20 per kilowatt hour (kWh). For example, charging a 60kWh battery from 0% to 100% using a Level 2 charger will cost about $7.20 to $12.

Q: Can Level 2 chargers support fast charging?

A: Level 2 chargers are much faster than Level 1 chargers, but they still don’t charge as fast as DC fast charging (Direct Current Fast Charging).Level 2 chargers typically deliver between 3.7kW and 22kW of power, whereas DC fast charging can deliver 50kW and above. However, Level 2 chargers are already very efficient for home or everyday use.

Q: Can I install a level 2 electric car charger at home?

A: Yes, you can install a level 2 electric car charger at home. When installing, you will need to make sure that you have a 240V power supply and enough space in your home to install the charging device. Before installation, it is best to consult a professional electrician to ensure that the circuitry and wiring is up to standard and to obtain the required permits.
