Japan is negotiating with China to unify new energy vehicle charging system standards

According to Japanese media reports, Japan is negotiating
with China around the unification of new energy vehicle charging system standards, including charging interface specifications and charging protocols.
At present, a variety of charging system standards are used in the world, and Japan hopes to unify the charging interface and charging protocol with China, becoming the most widely used charging system standard in Asia and gradually becoming an international standard
.

In terms of charging system standards, countries vary, China adopts GB/T, Japan adopts the "CHAdeMO" standard, and Europe and the United States adopt the "Combo" standard
.
In addition, Tesla, a well-known new energy vehicle company in the United States, has adopted a unique charging system standard
.
In March this year, more than 18,000 chargers with the "CHAdeMO" specification in Japan have been sold in 71 countries, and internationalization is progressing smoothly
.

It is understood that Japan's "CHAdeMO" standard is not common to European and American standards, but it can achieve data transmission
for vehicles produced under Chinese standards.
A few days ago, the State Power Supply Administration of China "State Grid" proposed to discuss future charging system standards through the "CHAdeMO agreement", and Japan intends to negotiate
on this.
