1.1
The standard applied to requirements that cover adapters for conductive EV power transfer to the vehicle.

1.2

The standard includes converting from one configuration to another where the communication protocol is the same, or may differ, between the infrastructure and the vehicle. Adapters are intended to provide functionality for use with conductive electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE).

1.3
This Standard does not directly apply to any device that is not intended for use as described in 1.1. In the text of this Standard, the term "device" refers to any product covered by this Standard. The letters "EV" refer to an electric vehicle, including plug-in hybrid vehicles, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, and similar vehicles.

1.4

The requirements on EV plugs, EV receptacles, vehicle inlets, vehicle connectors, and EV breakaway couplings are covered by CSA C22.2 No. 282.

Project need:

To support innovation and industry requests, reflect technology changes, and update the current standard in the field of electric vehicles.
