| CCS |
combined charging system. common name for one of the EV charging standards. allows one combined socket for dc and ac plugs. communication is performed through powerline. this is currently the most popular type for european car manufacturers. |
| CHAdeMO |
another dc charging standard originating from japan. uses CAN for communication between EV and EVSE. |
| CP |
control pilot. signalling wire in the charging cable. it is a 1kHz rectangular voltage signal generated by the EVSE. the duty cycle can either indicate dc charging mode or allowed grid current for ac charging. by setting the resistance between CP and PE, the vehicle can control ac charging:state A: open: standbystate B: 2700 Ω: vehicle is present but not ready for chargingstate C: 880 Ω: vehicle is ready for chargingstate D: 240 Ω: vehicle requests ventilation (was thought for EVs containing batteries that emit gases during charging and would enable the EV to indicate to the EVSE that the ventilation of the parking should be turned on. is obsolete today.) |
| CPO |
the charge point operator installs and operates charging infrastructure |
| eMSP |
electric mobility service provider |
| EV |
electric vehicle |
| EVCC |
electric vehicle communication controller |
| EVSE |
electric vehicle supply equipment or simply a charging station |
| MO |
mobility operator, same as eMSP |
| PE |
protective earth. ground wire in the charging cable |
| PEV |
plugin electric vehicle |
| PP |
proximity pilot. signalling wire in the charging cable. the resistance between PP and PE indicates the maximum allowed current of the cable.1500 Ω = 13 A680 Ω = 20 A220 Ω = 32 A100 Ω = 63 A |
| SECC |
supply equipment communication controller |
| SLAC |
signal level attentuation characterization enables a station to measure the signal level of its transmission at other stations in the network. it is designed for automotive applications where there are multiple plug-in vehicle (PEVs) and electric vehicle supply equipment on the network. the PEV signal level is measured at multiple EVSEs to determine which EVSE the PEV is actually plugged into. the process leading to this determination is called "Green PHY PEV-EVSE Association" (GreenPPEA).
