Charging point

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A loading point is - as defined by the Directive 2014/94 / EU - "an interface with at the same time either only one electric vehicle charged or just a battery . An electric vehicle can be replaced" The focus here is in particular "the same time" and “just one”, in the sense of “just one electric vehicle” (and not several).

A charging station or wall charging station can provide one or more charging points. The number of charging points indicates how many electric vehicles can be charged at the same time.

differentiation

In Directive 2014/94 / EU, a distinction is made between normal charging points and fast charging points .

Normal charging point

A “normal charging point” is a charging point at which electricity with a charging capacity of no more than 22  k W can be transferred to an electric vehicle, with the exception of devices with a charging capacity of no more than 3.7 kW that are installed in private households or their main purpose is not the charging of electric vehicles and which are not publicly accessible. "

Fast charging point

A "'fast charging point" is a charging point at which electricity with a charging capacity of more than 22 kW can be transferred to an electric vehicle. "

Publicly accessible charging points

Charging points that are “publicly accessible” within the meaning of this guideline must be accessible to all users in a non-discriminatory manner.

Charging standards

In order to ensure interoperability, the directive requires that when new installations

  • Every AC standard charging point for electric vehicles with a type 2 socket or a type 2 coupling (including charging cable) in accordance with the DIN EN 62196-2 standard,
  • every AC fast charging point for electric vehicles with a type 2 coupling (including charging cable) according to DIN EN 62196-2 and
  • Every direct current fast charging point for electric vehicles must be equipped with a coupling in accordance with CCS Combo 2 (including charging cable) in accordance with DIN EN 62196-3.

Connections according to other charging systems or standards (e.g. type 1 ) are only allowed as an additional option, but no longer as a sole offer.

Implementation in national law

On October 22, 2014, the EU regulation “Directive 2014/94 / EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the development of the infrastructure for alternative fuels” came into force. Implementation in national law is the responsibility of the EU member states .

Germany

In Germany , the European requirements of Directive 2014/94 / EU have been implemented in German law by means of the Charging Column Ordinance (LSV). In this ordinance, only publicly accessible charging points are regulated (§ 1 LSV).

The regulatory authority is the Federal Network Agency . The operator must notify the operator of the establishment, conversion and decommissioning of normal and fast charging points.

Since April 18, 2017, the Federal Network Agency has made data on publicly accessible charging points in Germany publicly available in the form of the charging station map (also known as the charging station register ).

Austria

In Austria , Directive 2014/94 / EU was implemented through the “Federal Law for the Establishment of Uniform Standards in the Construction of Infrastructure for Alternative Fuels”.

Pursuant to § 22a E-ControlG the regulatory authority E-Control a public charging points register - even loading points directory called - to lead, in which the public in Austria loading points are listed.
