High-power charging for commercial electric vehicles will be considered by a task force on September 13 during a four-day Charging Interface Initiative (CharIN) North American event.
Experts from manufacturing companies, utilities, fleet operators, and service providers will discuss the future of e-mobility for trucks, buses, pick-ups and other types of commercial vehicles powered by the combined charging system (CCS) at the NextEnergy centre in Detroit.
A CCS and ISO/IEC 15118 Interop Workshop is on September 10, followed by the two-day ninth CCS & ISO/IEC 15118 Testing Symposium and then the task force meeting.
The one-day Interop Workshop will focus on CCS and ISO/IEC 15118 interoperability, applications enabled by this technology, discussions with experts sharing their experience and real-life examples of how CCS with ISO/IEC 15118 helps to grow the adoption of e-mobility and the EV market.
During the panel discussions, leading OEMs, utilities, and regulators will examine EV and grid integration challenges and opportunities.
The testing symposium brings together companies from the smart charging community and their technology experts to conduct conformance and interoperability tests of different EVS and chargers (EVSE). Attendees can also take a tour of the testing lot, offering an opportunity to see electric vehicles, chargers and test systems available or coming to market.
The High-Power Charging of Commercial Vehicles Task Force meeting will focus on the next frontier of CCS specifically addressing the needs of commercial vehicles at megawatt and above levels.
These multifaceted events will deliver networking opportunities with international CCS experts and serve as a platform for achieving CharIN’s primary objective, which is to establish CCS as the global standard for AC and DC charging and to enable multivendor interoperability worldwide.
Sponsors include Daimler Trucks North America, NextEnergy, IEEE, Phoenix Contact, IoTecha and Vector.
