Technical Excellence & Safety Integrity
1. Advanced Thermal Intelligence
Reliability in rapid charging is defined by temperature control. To ensure maximum Trustworthiness, our CCS2 sockets are equipped with high-precision PT1000 sensors. These sensors provide real-time thermal data to the vehicle’s Battery Management System (BMS), enabling active power scaling to protect both the battery chemistry and the inlet hardware during high-amperage sessions.
2. Optimized Material Engineering
Efficient energy transfer requires minimal resistance. Our sockets are designed to work with heavy-duty 150mm² DC cables for 500A configurations, ensuring minimal voltage drop and reduced heat generation. For AC charging, we utilize 6mm² or 16mm² cables depending on the 32A or 63A requirement, providing a robust path for destination charging.
3. Automotive-Grade Ruggedization
Drawing on extensive expertise in EV infrastructure, this socket is built to withstand the rigors of daily use in diverse climates. The housing is manufactured from high-strength, flame-retardant materials designed to maintain structural integrity and electrical insulation across a wide range of operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why are PT1000 sensors recommended for this socket?
A: At currents up to 500A, even minor contact resistance can generate significant heat. PT1000 sensors offer the high precision required for the vehicle to monitor these temperatures accurately, preventing hotspots and ensuring a safe charging lifecycle.
Q: Can this socket be used for both residential and public fast charging?
A: Yes. The “Combined” nature of the CCS2 design allows the vehicle to use standard Type 2 AC chargers at home (using the top portion) and high-power DC fast chargers on highways (using the full inlet).
Q: What is the benefit of the 150mm² DC cable size?
A: Larger cable cross-sections, such as 150mm², are essential for the 500A rating to handle the electrical load safely without excessive heating or energy loss.
