1 Scope
This document defines requirements for the onboard system (vehicle side) related to
the automatic connection for conductive alternating current (AC) and/or direct current
(DC) power transfer between electrically propelled road vehicles (EVs) and external
electric circuits. This document addresses the following aspects:
-
— electrical and mechanical safety requirements;
-
— compatibility requirements;
-
— environmental conditions;
-
— functionality requirements;
-
— test procedures.
This document applies to:
-
— EVs supporting automatic connection of a vehicle inlet according to IEC 62196-2, IEC 62196-3, IEC TS 62196-3-1 or IEC TS 633791 (category 1) and
-
— EVs supporting automatic connection of a category 3 vehicle inlet or category 3 plug
(typically at the underbody of the vehicle) according to IEC TS 61851-26.
NOTE 1
IEC TS 61851-26
does not include automatic connection of vehicle inlets or plugs of category 1 and
category 2, that can also be mounted at the underbody of the vehicle.
Requirements for EVs equipped with an ACD or ACD counterpart of category 2 are specified
in EN 50696 and IEC 634072.
Requirements for simultaneous operation of multiple power transfer interfaces are
under consideration and not covered in this document.
NOTE 2 Requirements for ACD infrastructure, communication sequence and communication interface
are specified in IEC 61851-23-1, IEC TS 61851-26 and IEC TS 61851-27.
NOTE 3 EMC requirements for vehicles conductively connected to the supply network are defined
in IEC 61851-21-1.
