CONDUCTIVE CHARGING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES –
DC VEHICLE COUPLER CONFIGURATION GG
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
A PAS is an intermediate specification made available to the public and needing a lower level
of consensus than an International Standard to be approved by vote (simple majority).
IEC PAS 63454 has been processed by subcommittee 23H: Plugs, Socket-outlets and Couplers
for industrial and similar applications, and for Electric Vehicles, of IEC technical committee
TC 23: Electrical accessories.
The text of this PAS is based on the This PAS was approved for
following document: publication by the P-members of the
committee concerned as indicated in
the following document:
Draft PAS Report on voting
23H/509/DPAS 23H/514A/RVDPAS
Following publication of this PAS, which is a pre-standard publication, the technical committee
or subcommittee concerned may transform it into an International Standard.
– 4 – IEC PAS 63454:2022 © IEC 2022
This PAS shall remain valid for an initial maximum period of 2 years starting from the publication
date. The validity may be extended for a single period up to a maximum of 2 years, at the end
of which it shall be transformed, with or without changes, into another type of normative
document, or shall be withdrawn.
This PAS is to be read in conjunction with IEC 62196-1:2022 and IEC 62196-3:2022.
IMPORTANT – The "colour inside" logo on the cover page of this document indicates that it
contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding of its
contents. Users should therefore print this document using a colour printer.
INTRODUCTION
A total of four widely used DC charging interfaces is defined in IEC 62196-3:2022 as follows:
• configuration AA proposed by Japan,
• configuration BB proposed by China,
• configuration EE proposed by North America, and
• configuration FF proposed by Europe.
This PAS introduces the charging interface (configuration GG), a new electric vehicle DC
charging system jointly developed by some Chinese, Japanese and European companies. This
interface is currently included in the Chinese draft national standard and in the Japanese
standard and has considerable potential for future applications.
After consideration within SC 23H/MT 8 (in charge of the maintenance of the IEC 62196 series)
and noting that the next revision of IEC 62196-3:2022 will come up after a longer period, it was
agreed to issue configuration GG in a first stage in the form of an IEC PAS. The addition of
configuration GG into IEC 62196-3 will be considered in the frame of the next revision of
IEC 62196-3.
