Japan contends for the dominance of international standards for charging electric vehicles

With the advancement of electric vehicles and the increase in market penetration, international standardization of charging has surfaced. At present, there are "Japanese-style standards" and "U.S.-style standards" in the world. Japanese-style standard chargers are dual plugs, with quick charging (within 4 hours) and ordinary charging. Japan has installed 1,500 charging facilities in the country, and will increase at a rate of 10% per year in the future. Japan's largest auto maker Companies such as Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Tokyo Electric Power Co., Ltd. are all supporters of Japanese standards. The European and American standards adopt the long-short plugs, which can use both fast charging and common charging methods. However, the penetration rate in the region is not high. US General Motors and German Volkswagen are proponents of this standard.

According to Japanese media reports, Japan will accelerate the sales of electric vehicles in the international market in order to seize the high ground of the international standards for charging electric vehicles, and further promote Japanese-style charging standards.

In addition, the focus of Japanese-style standards and European-American standards is also the focus of the International Conference on Electrical Standardization. The organization is the authoritative organization for the international standardization of electrical equipment, and it has considerable influence on the standards adopted by the world. Japan will invest more efforts. Do the work of this institution.
