  • Unlocking EV Charging Flexibility: A Comprehensive Guide to EV Charging Cables and Connectors Unlocking EV Charging Flexibility: A Comprehensive Guide to EV Charging Cables and Connectors
    Mar 28, 2024
    In Europe, the construction of charging infrastructure never stops. The common ones are non-tethered cable chargers. They are usually shown on charging maps as BYO chargers (Bring Your Own), which means drivers need to use their charging cables. On the surface, it seems like drivers need to prepare more. But in reality, this method is more flexible and free and improves the connection opportunities between the vehicle and the charger (the charger can match the cars with different inlets). For charging station operators, investment and maintenance costs are reduced, allowing more funds to be invested in the new chargers. More importantly, as a key part of sustainable transportation, this method is more environmentally friendly.   Learning more about EV charging cable for public charging stations will go a long way toward actively embracing electric vehicles. EV Charging Cable is designed to safely transport power from the charger to the EV, shouldering the important tasks of communicating, controlling, protecting, and transmitting power. The electric vehicle charging cable has four modes, among which Mode 3 connects the vehicle to the charging port of the AC charger. Some charging stations have tethered cables, and some are untethered--You need to carry a charging cable that matches the vehicle socket.     Depending on the vehicle, the plug types are type 1, type 2, and GB/T.   Type 2 To Type 1 The Type 1 end connects to the vehicle and the Type 2 end connects to the charger, which is suitable for electric vehicles with a Type 1 inlet. Support single-phase AC power can provide power output up to 7.4kW, and the maximum current can reach 32A. For North American, Japanese/Korean models, having such a charging cable means you can freely charge EVs at various public charging stations or wall boxes. Of course, if there is a need for fast charging, then DC charging may be more suitable. Because DC Fast Charging Cables need to transmit larger currents, they are often thicker and heavier than Level 2 Charging Cables (AC), so they are tethered to the charger. When facing a high-power DC charger and only a CCS2 connector is available at the charging station, the driver does not have to be frustrated if a CCS2 to CCS1 adapter is available.     The CCS2 to CCS1 adapter from Workersbee, an EV charging cable supplier, can easily connect different standard chargers and electric vehicles, and meets the needs of fast charging, providing a high current of up to 150A. The terminal temperature rise test is less than 50K, the protection level can reach IP54, and it has passed CE certification. The cable is made of TPU for flexibility and durability, adding more opportunities for charging accessibility.   Type 2 To Type 2 Suitable for type 2 vehicles. Available in single-phase 7.4kW, and three-phase 11kW and 22kW. The charging efficiency of an electric vehicle also depends on its onboard charger's charging capacity and the charger's power. As a classic example, if you use an 11kW (16A) cable and choose a 22kW charger to charge an electric car, but your car is single-phase, you will only get 3.7kW of power. It's more like the Cannikin Law. Therefore, the selection criteria for the power of the cable depends more on your car.   Workersbee has developed multiple generations of type 2 ev charging cable products. From the Gen1.0  to the latest Gen2.3, the R&D team has consistently focused on technological innovation and improving user experience.     From terminal rubber covered to ultrasonic welding, from cable management optimization to dustproof, moisture-proof, and waterproof “Smart Cap” design, each iteration not only improves the looks of the products but also makes a leap in the charging experience. The newly launched EV charging cable 2.3 adopts a double protection design. In addition to the terminal parts, the cable tail sleeve is also rubber-covered. The protection level reaches IP55, waterproof and anti-bending, with a longer service life. The new cable management solution also takes portability and storage friendliness to a new level. It has passed TUV/CE/UKCA certification. The cable length can be customized. We provide 5m, 7m, and 10m ev charging cable options, or customized according to your requirements. With the same cable length, a 22kw ev charging cable is heavier than a 7kW one.   Type 2 To GB/T As China's EVs gradually gain more seats in the market, the demand for GB/T connectors is also increasing. Similarly available in single-phase and three-phase options, with a maximum power of 22kW. Although the GB/T connector is similar to the Type2 connector, they are almost opposite. Therefore, the plugs connecting the car and the charger are both male. This is very different from type 1 and type 2 car models.   Market Insights · Detachable cables are widely used in the European market, which greatly improves the flexibility and reliability of driver charging and reduces the risk of damage to fixed cables. North America is still in the early stages of development and may become the future development direction. · Cable length is a double-edged sword. A longer cable means heavier, making it more difficult to carry and store; but it can also mean more flexible charging. If it is a 10m ev charging cable (or 15m or more), then you may not need to worry about the distance between the car's charging inlet socket and the charger outlet socket when you stop to charge. · As a frequently used charging product, durability is a major feature standard in the market. From plug connectors and cables to often-bent cable tails, it is a major test of the manufacturing capabilities of EV charging cable supplier. · Recommending the right electric vehicle charging cables based on consumer needs to obtain the best charging performance is critical to improving the user experience of EVs. Fully understanding the match between cable length, material, electrical parameters and other information and consumer needs will make your business better.   Conclusion As the main part of the European charging market, EV charging cables connect vehicles and chargers. EV Charging Connector Types at one end of the vehicle depend on the vehicle charging port type. It can be divided into type1, GB/T, and type2, respectively suitable for North American/Japanese/Korean models, Chinese models, and other models in Europe. With a professional R&D team, solid production capabilities, and testing, Workersbe is constantly committed to providing consumers with high-quality and reliable charging cables and promoting the development of the electric vehicle charging industry.

  • Power Up: A Guide to Charging Speed of Different Types of Chargers Power Up: A Guide to Charging Speed of Different Types of Chargers
    Mar 21, 2024
    The rapid development of electric vehicles is inseparable from the support of EVSE chargers. Charging an Electric car takes more than refilling a gas car from empty to full. Meanwhile, different types of chargers provide different charging speeds. The difference ranges from more than 20 minutes to dozens of hours. If more car owners encounter the latter, the popularity of electric vehicles will stall.     We need to understand the charging speeds of different types of chargers to ride the wave of electrified transportation.   What factors may affect charging speed 1. Charger types: They can be roughly divided into AC chargers, which charge relatively slowly, and DC chargers, which charge faster. AC is further divided into Level 1 and Level 2, which will be explained below. 2. Charger output power: A charger with greater output power will deliver more power to the car per unit time and charge faster. 3. EV battery capacity: It determines how much energy can be stored. Larger batteries will take longer to recharge. 4. State of Charge: The current SOC of the battery is closely related to the Charging Speed. In the range of 20%~80%, you will get better charging efficiency. 5. Vehicle charging capacity: The efficiency of the onboard charger (AC charging) and Battery Management Systems (DC charging) will also affect the charging speed, and the performance of each car is different. The car and the charger will have current and voltage limitations that need to be matched to transfer energy. 6. Temperature: Whether too cold or too hot can affect charging speed and battery performance. Cold may inhibit or prevent charging, while high temperatures may slow charging due to thermal management. In addition to the above, factors such as battery aging, other electrical loads during charging, etc. can also affect the charging speed.   Types of Chargers   Level 1 Charger (AC) The slowest but most convenient AC charger that plugs directly into a standard 120V household outlet for charging. The output power ranges from 1 to 1.92kW, charging approximately increases by 3-5 miles per hour, and it takes roughly dozens of hours to refill a BEV. It's frustrating, and perhaps why many consumers don't initially consider EVs. But it is suitable for car owners who have low commuting needs and can charge at home overnight.   Level 2 Charger (AC) Provides up to 19.2kW power via 240V, greatly improves charging speed compared to Level 1 chargers. It is the favorite type of charger for EV owners when balancing many aspects (charging speed, charging cost, battery health, etc.). It is often used for charging at homes, or in public places such as workplaces, shopping districts, or roadsides. Because drivers usually park in these places for a long time. Typically, Level 2 chargers can add 10-50 miles of range per hour, making it easy to fully charge an electric vehicle in a few hours or overnight. Aside from fixed wall box Level 2 chargers or EV Charging Stations offering Level 2 charging in residential areas or public spaces, many drivers are now opting for Portable Electric Vehicle Chargers. Not only can they provide Level 2 charging speeds, but they are also mobile and portable, making them convenient for drivers to recharge on trips. The portable chargers of Workersbee, a long-established EVSE manufacturer, provide a variety of product models to choose from. They are lightweight, stylish, easy to operate, and have reliable charging and protection performance. The powerful control box provides diversified Smart Charging Solutions.     DC Fast Charging The DC fast charger converts the AC power from the grid into DC power and directly delivers it to the battery for storage, making charging more efficient. It usually provides 25-400kW of power, which makes it possible to charge the battery to 80% in as quickly as 20 minutes. Different power levels also mean huge differences in charging time.   Because of high electrical requirements and high construction and maintenance costs, DC fast chargers are usually established along highway corridors and at public charging stations. It is more suitable for road trips and drivers who want to gain energy quickly.   The most popular High-Power Chargers today are none other than Tesla. Its Supercharger can add 200 miles of range to an electric vehicle in just 15 minutes. Powered by high reliability, high efficiency, and a comfortable charging experience, it dominates the North American charging market.  Since Tesla opened the NACS charging standard at the end of 2022, EVSE manufacturers have actively poured into the NACS connector market.   Workersbee's R&D team quickly established a product project team last year to develop AC and DC plug products based on the NACS charging standard, which will be launched soon. We are deeply committed to Fast Charging Technology, further enriching our product models and expanding sales areas. With innovative, high-quality, and diversified R&D and production systems, we have built an outstanding DC fast-charging product matrix.     Wireless Charging Wireless Charging uses electromagnetic induction to transmit electrical energy to the vehicle's battery without the cable connections. Charging speed depends on the Wireless EV Charging Pads's power and distance from the vehicle. Charging can be done while parked on the road or while driving, but the charging speed is not very high, the infrastructure requirements are very high and the investment is large. Although it sounds very free and wonderful, there is still a long way to go before the goal of better serving electric vehicles.   Conclusion AC Level 1 chargers can be powered by a regular household outlet and charge at 3-5 miles per hour. Suitable for charging at home or for low commuting requirements. Although it is the slowest charging solution, it does not require the additional cost of a charger installation. AC Level 2 is more suitable for charging in long stops, typically at homes and workplaces. A full night or daytime work hours can make the car almost fully charged. Installation costs and charging fees are low, and sometimes can take advantage of time-of-use rates. If there are higher charging needs and shorter charging time constraints, DCFC is a charging solution that will surprise drivers. They are often found on highways and urban public charging stations and are the fastest charging solution. The cost of building a site and charging is high, but it may only take 20 minutes to complete the charging task.   Market Insights Although the charging speeds of AC and DC are vastly different. But for the health of vehicle batteries, we know that AC slow charging is better. Not to mention that charging speed also depends on the vehicle itself. Most PHEVs do not work with fast chargers. Different charging methods have advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different charging scenarios. Increasing charging speed significantly impacts car owners’ experience, which has far-reaching implications for the popularity of electric vehicles.   From the perspective of the charging market, we do not define a certain charger as always being the best choice. We can only say that it is more suitable for certain demand scenarios.   As a major player in the Electric Vehicle Charging market, charger and charging plug/cable manufacturers will also encounter some technical challenges during the research and development process when improving the charging speed of their products: l In DCFC, limitations and risks caused by the temperature rise of connectors, plugs, and cables; l High-frequency use of high-current fast charging may cause damage to battery health; l The surge in electric vehicle charging demand brings excessive grid load, etc. Workersbee has always paid attention to technological development and has made breakthrough innovations in multiple temperature control mechanisms, liquid cooling systems, and natural cooling technology. Solutions using new technologies have also gained attention and praise in the market. We are also working hard to find a better balance of charging speed and technology, as this is critical to both the owner's experience and the adoption of electric vehicles.   If your business requires solutions suitable for multiple charging scenarios, please discuss them with us to discover more possibilities. We welcome your curiosity and look forward to sharing and exploring more diversified technological possibilities.

  • User-Centered: Technical Exploration of GB/T DC Connector 4.0 User-Centered: Technical Exploration of GB/T DC Connector 4.0
    Jan 18, 2024
    According to the latest market data, China has overtaken Japan as the largest car export country. Although fuel vehicles still dominate among them, as countries continue to make decarbonization efforts, electric vehicles must be the future. With China's strong battery R&D and production capabilities, its exports of EVs will occupy an increasing share. In addition to the continuous increase in the share of GB/T EVs in China's local market, they are also popular in the Middle East and CIS countries.   The sales of electric vehicles will inevitably lead to the popularization of charging facilities of corresponding standards. GB/T DC charging is an effective means of quickly replenishing energy in public places. Its continuous upgrading and innovation play a vital role in promoting the development of EVs and the construction of a decarbonized society.   As a constantly innovative charging solution provider, Workersbee always adheres to user-centeredness. We believe that the charging experience of electric cars directly affects consumer satisfaction and even the adoption of EVs due to word-of-mouth communication.   As the first supplier to step into the wave of R&D and production of GB/T charging plugs, ours have now developed to the fourth generation.   According to the feedback we collected from customers, although our charging performance is satisfactory, sometimes there will be problems with the connector unlocking failing and can't unplug smoothly.  Engineers and marketers collected customer cases and further analyzed that it may be due to improper charging operation, the excessive weight of the DC cable, or the connector being dropped and damaged, causing the electronic lock inside the plug to malfunction.   This not only brings a poor charging experience to drivers but also increases the operating costs of charging stations. This means that the entire charging cable may need to be replaced, although the damage may only be to an electronic lock.     The engineering design team quickly responded to this and determined the upgrade direction of the GB/T DC connector: · Increase the locking strength of the lock hook, enhance compatibility with models on the market, and avoid failure to connect to the car due to improper operation. · Improve the stability of the electronic lock through structural adjustment, improve the stall strength of the electronic lock, ensure the safe and smooth start and end of the charging process,  and enhance the operational efficiency of the charging station. · Adjust the cable design to solve the problem of electromagnetic interference caused by individual chargers to micro-motion sensors and electronic lock signals when energized. · Further downsize the size of the electronic lock S switch, improve accuracy, and more efficient process control. · Optimize the structural design and adopt a quick-change structural design for electronic locks that are used frequently. Extend the service life of connectors, reduce customers' production and operating costs, and increase profits.   Finally, after multiple rounds of calculations, design changes, structural adjustments, and sample production testing, our product team fulfilled their promise.   The locking strength of the lock hook is increased, effectively reducing instability during the connection process and improving the firmness of the lock. The stall strength of the electronic lock is doubled, which increases the radial force on the rotating shaft and avoids error feedback on the electronic lock locking state under general external forces.   The internal cable shielding, previously dispersed with only four individual shields, has been optimized for greater efficiency and strength with a centralized shielding arrangement of three groups. This minimizes the potential for interference connectors caused by EMC overcutting chargers, enhancing compatibility with DC chargers in the market.   Moreover, a clever addition of pin insertion design on the electronic lock has transformed it into a quick-change structure that can be completed in just five steps.   It has perfectly passed a series of rigorous tests on the stability and durability of the connector electronic lock, including the electronic lock stall strength test, the life test under no-load and stall conditions, the lock rod stress test, and the lock hook stress. Finally bringing this delightful product to market.     Returning to the charging experience, Workersbee’s GB/T DC connector has achieved a continuous current output of 250A air-cooled and 600A liquid-cooled. The protection level achieves a high level of waterproof and dustproof IP 67, ensuring the safety and reliability of the charger. The connector handle is comfortable to hold and the force point is ergonomically designed. Even heavy DC cables can be plugged and unplugged with one hand.   We believe that the upgrade in the details, the electronic lock, will bring a more enjoyable charging experience for electric vehicle owners during fast charging. The connection with the vehicle is more stable, significantly reducing the chances of unlocking malfunctions, and ensuring safer, more reliable, and easier operations. This upgrade also greatly reduces the construction and operating costs of charging stations, enhancing driver satisfaction. The quick-change design for easily damageable components further lowers maintenance costs. The upgrade history of Workersbee's GB/T DC connectors for several generations has always been user-centered, pursuing details and insisting on innovation. With our keen market sense, cutting-edge R&D technology, and strong production strength, we are confident in collaboratively constructing an electrified future that satisfies consumers with all our outstanding partners.

  • Game-Changing: The Rise of Three-Phase Portable EV Chargers for Home Charging Game-Changing: The Rise of Three-Phase Portable EV Chargers for Home Charging
    Dec 06, 2023
      As environmental problems intensify and policy-led sales of electric vehicles skyrocket. As an indispensable source of power, the demand for EV charging market has also shown explosive growth. Governments are making every effort to promote public charging, but it cannot be ignored that for most electric vehicle owners, charging mainly occurs where they live. Home charging is more convenient and less expensive, giving it an unshakable position in the charging market.   Usually, private homeowners choose to install fixed EV chargers in their homes, while EV owners living in apartments opt for shared chargers in apartment parking lots, although in many cases, it is necessary to go with other residents to coordinate charging arrangements and parking occupancy. These chargers are almost AC chargers, available in different options from 3.7kw to 22kw. Today's more common one on the market is still the 7.4kw power output. These products may rely on installation by a professional electrician, require negotiation with local utility companies, and are not cheap. But by charging at home, you can enjoy low electricity bills and avoid the trouble of finding public charging stations.   There is a product whose functions may be underestimated by us, but in fact, many people have realized its benefits. It's the portable EV charger, which some automakers will include in the car purchase package (but usually with a very low capacity).

  • Key Concerns of NACS Stakeholders Key Concerns of NACS Stakeholders
    Jul 26, 2023
    BIG news for the North American electric vehicle industry! In a mission to accelerate the world's sustainable energy transition, last year Tesla announced that they were opening up their proprietary charging connector design, AKA North American Charging Standard (NACS), to the world. As we've seen, the Tesla Connector is only half the size of the Combined Charging System (CCS), but up to twice as powerful to charge. With an integrated AC/DC lightweight slim design with no moving parts, it supports up to 1 megawatt of DC charging. More importantly, Tesla owns 60%+ of the DC charging network in the United States. All the advantages prompted the two North American auto giants, Ford and GM have changed sides. And this wind shift has made the path of change in North American EV charging standards, like the Snowball Effect, develop rapidly. Since May of this year, automakers including Aptera, Rivian, Volvo, Polestar, and others have announced that they have signed agreements with Tesla and are planning to officially join the NACS by adding NACS ports to their new vehicles. The leading charging network and charging equipment manufacturers ABB, Blink, ChargePoint, EVgo, Electrify America, FLO, Tritium, etc. have also announced to provide NACS connector service on their EV charging stations or EV chargers. And on the 27th of last month, SAE officially announced that they will assist Tesla to accelerate the NACS standardization process. NACS may dominate the North American EV charging market, but for the stakeholders, there is no doubt that they have different concerns.   Automakers Competitors who share the electric car market with Tesla are focusing more on its Supercharger network, as it has the largest share of the DC fast charging network in North America. Consumers will always gravitate toward EV manufacturers with larger charging networks and more convenient charging, so improving charging convenience is tantamount to improving brand competitiveness and further expanding market share. On the other hand, the opening of Tesla's Supercharger means that the agreement saves these automakers from the high cost of building their own charging stations.But they are more concerned that interoperability for non-Tesla owners using the Supercharger network can attain highly user-friendly, as well as secure the charging benefits for drivers of their brand. Given the still inadequate EVSE, achieving charging equity for consumers is the key. For automakers planning to adopt NACS ports in future new vehicles, they need to consider the development difficulty and cost of structural changes and ensure that EVs have a design life of a decade or more. How to better integrate with the ID design of their products, and how to design the location of the charging port to make charging more accessible are all considerations that need to be addressed. In the transition phase of charging standards, perhaps an adapter is not optimal (as interoperability is not always effective), but offers more flexibility. Alternatively, having a slower portable electric vehicle Level 2 EV Charger along with the car will work just as well for most drivers.     Charging Equipment Manufacturers For charging equipment manufacturers, choosing NACS connectors undoubtedly means choosing the future. The Tesla connector's up to 1 MW power redundancy design, in a sense, reduces the technical difficulty for manufacturers to develop. After all, the market demand for EV charging is moving toward higher power, more stable current, and faster charging speed. Improving the stability and reliability of the equipment and lowering the average cost of maintenance is exactly what they have to consider if NACS connectors are added. For high-power charging equipment, controlling the temperature of cables, terminals, and components, and considering the combination with liquid-cooled supercharging technology can significantly improve the manufacturer's competitiveness.   Workersbee, as a professional EV Plug Manufacturer, has industry-leading ultrasonic welding technology and connector cooling technology. The EV Charging Plug can make temperature monitoring and voltage and current monitoring to guarantee the stability and charging safety of the equipment. At the end of the gun will be lengthened design to protect the cable, a high anti-drop design, greatly reducing the maintenance cost and the possibility of breakdown. Meanwhile, due to the different charging port positions of non-Tesla vehicles, different models have different cable length requirements, and Workersbee's ODM and OEM services can customize the cable length.     Charging Networks Charging Point Operators are facing up EV owners, and their main concern is to provide drivers with a pleasurable charging experience and thus increase their charging incomes. This means chargers should be highly reliable (high accessibility, stable running), easy to handle (lightweight EV cables, easy to plug and unplug, even for disabilities or women with little strength), as well as have more options (NACS, CCS, CHAdeMO ports) or be able to meet different charging needs ( Level 2 AC charging, low-power or high-power DC fast-charging).     Administration From the government's subsidy standards, high reliability is a MUST requirement. In terms of the new standards for electric vehicle chargers announced by the White House, the equipment is required to achieve 97% uptime to build a convenient, reliable, accessible, and user-friendly charging network for EV drivers. Tesla's NACS Supercharger network meets this requirement, unlike many other devices that often break down and cannot be charged. The administration aims to eliminate drivers' doubts and concerns by building an EV charging market that can gain widespread acceptance and recognition, which will in turn boost EV adoption to achieve the goal of electrifying the country to combat climate change.   Energy Utilities   Pressures on energy supply are increasing by the day. They need to consider load balance and demand response on the grid and achieve reliability and efficiency in energy distribution in different areas, whether urban centers, village suburbs, or low-income areas. They also want to manage and plan for EV charging demand through the standardization of NACS to maximize the balance of grid pressure. Through the efforts of all parties to realize the diversity of renewable energy development (such as solar energy, wind energy, etc.) and reduce carbon emissions. Utilizing the integration of solar energy and charging pile, conforming to the development trend of PV, Energy Storage, and Charging, realizing low-power DC fast charging. Workersbee's R&D team is actively developing NACS low-power DC charging cable products in response to this market demand, with a dedicated project team. Utilities would also like to embrace smart charging management through microgrid-distributed energy management, which schedules and optimizes charging sessions based on tariffs, grid conditions, and renewable energy availability.   EV Drivers The opening of the NACS connector is not always good news for some auto owners. Tesla owners will worry about whether their advantage as Tesla consumers still stands. With Tesla drivers still often facing long and disorganized charging queues and other annoyances, if there are still non-Tesla drivers joining the competition, whether Tesla's future deployment of its Supercharger network can solve their difficulties in finding chargers. And for non-Tesla owners, having access to Tesla's Supercharger network is a delight, whether through an adapter or a direct connector to the NACS charging port of a future new vehicle. Tesla owns more than half of the fast chargers in North America, which means increased charging convenience and high power significantly reduce charging wait time. The great design of the NACS connector also makes it easier to plug and unplug than the bulky CCS connector. In point, they expect to have the same user-friendly charging experience as Tesla drivers who get stable and efficient charging. But no matter which side, EV drivers want to have charging fairness, orderly queues for charging, and less wait time. Workersbee has always been committed to promoting the development of EV charging and striving for the achievement of global climate goals. We always pay attention to industry policy trends and positively respond to them. We have several R&D project teams working in parallel to develop NACS series products, including (but not limited to) NACS connectors, NACS adapters, etc. Contact us to explore how we can help your business capitalize on the NACS opportunity.
