Battery and Charging standards primarily cover battery packs that power electric vehicles, conductive charging stations, and the relationship between these two sides of the equation. Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), AC/DC charging stations, and the connectors and inlets are standardized. Within the vehicle itself, lithium-ion traction battery packs, as well as both lithium and non-lithium secondary batteries, are also standardized. These standards are related to the testing and requirements of charging ports, parts, connectors, and charging systems as a whole.

To assure compatibility, the charging system, the vehicle, or both, are in accordance with the features contained in 1.3 - 1.5. 1.3 The type of vehicle covered by these requirements, including all accessible conductive parts on the vehicle, has one or more of the following: a) Provision for the connection of an equipment grounding conductor during battery charging, unless the vehicle has a system of reinforced or double insulation or all of the circuitry on the vehicle is electrically isolated from the supply circuit, b) Provision for the connection of ground-monitoring conductors, where required, c) Reinforced insulation, or is double-insulated from the supply circuit, or d)No direct connection between current-carrying conductors and the vehicle chassis. 1.4 These requirements cover devices and systems where the grounding path impedance of the charging system to the vehicle is less than or equal to the impedance of the ungrounded conductor or conductors. 1.5 These requirements cover devices and systems where a continuous current less than 70 mA RMS is available from any accessible part of the charging system. 1.6 Devices covered by these requirements are intended to interrupt the electric circuit to the load when: a) A fault current to ground exceeds some predetermined value that is less than that required to operate the overcurrent protective device of the supply circuit, b)The grounding path becomes open-circuited or becomes an excessively high impedance, or c) A path to ground is detected on an isolated (ungrounded) system. 1.7 These devices and systems are intended to be applied on electrical systems or include derived systems that are: a) Either end-grounded or centrally grounded when the operating voltage is 150 Vrms or less, b) Centrally grounded when the operating voltage is greater than 150 Vrms, or c) Isolated (ungrounded). 1.8 Charging circuit-interrupting devices covered by these requirements are investigated for their ability to provide protection based on: a) The type of current (60 Hz AC, DC, a combination of AC and DC, or AC at frequencies greater than 60 Hz) present in the circuit to be protected, and b) Voltage. 1.9 In Mexico and the US, these requirements do not cover ground-fault circuit-interrupters (GFCIs) intended for use as personnel protection in accordance with the national electrical codes on grounded 120 Vrms or 127 Vrms to ground, 60 Hz circuits.

This SAE Standard covers the general physical, electrical, functional, and performance requirements to facilitate conductive charging of EV/PHEV vehicles in North America. This document defines a common EV/PHEV and supply equipment vehicle conductive charging method, including operational requirements and the functional and dimensional requirements for the vehicle inlet and mating connector.
This SAE Recommended Practice establishes the minimum interface compatibility requirements for electric vehicle (EV) inductively coupled charging for North America. This part of the specification is applicable to manually connected inductive charging for Levels 1 and 2 power transfer. Requirements for Level 3 compatibility are contained in Appendix B. Recommended software interface messaging requirements are contained in Appendix A. This type of inductively coupled charging is generally intended for transferring power at frequencies significantly higher than power line frequencies. This part of the specification is not applicable to inductive coupling schemes that employ automatic connection methods or that are intended for transferring power at power line frequencies. in the charge coupler). The charge controller signals the charger to stop charging when it determines that the batteries are completely charged or a fault is detected during the charging process. The following steps correspond with the diagram in Figure 1, and describe the closed-loop charging system. Vehicle charge controller determines desired current into batteries. ** Vehicle charge controller transmits charger output power request to charger via an IR communications interface. ** Charger controls input current from utility based on charger output power request from vehicle charge controller. ** Charger converts 60 Hz utility power to HFAC power. HFAC power is magnetically coupled from the coupler (primary) to the vehicle inlet (secondary). HFAC power is rectified/filtered to DC to charge the vehicle batteries. Process repeats until the vehicle charge controller determines the batteries are fully charged. ** Items with ** indicate control loop. ÑTypical closed-loop charging system.
The intent of this document is to develop a recommended practice for PEV chargers, whether onboard or off-board the vehicle, that will enable equipment manufacturers, vehicle manufacturers, electric utilities, and others to make reasonable design decisions regarding power quality. The three main purposes are as follows: 1 To identify those parameters of a PEV battery charger that must be controlled in order to preserve the quality of the AC service. 2 To identify those characteristics of the AC service that may significantly impact the performance of the charger. 3 To identify values for power quality, susceptibility, and power control parameters that are based on current U.S. and international standards. These values should be technically feasible and cost effective to implement into PEV battery chargers. SAE J2894/2 will describe the test methods for the parameters/requirements in this document.
