STMicro Joins Charging Interface Initiative

02 February 2017

The Charging Interface Initiative e. V, an open association founded to develop and establish the Combined Charging System (CCS) as the standard for charging all kinds of battery-powered electric vehicles, has announced that STMicroelectronics has become a member of the initiative.

With its portfolio of automotive and secure microcontrollers, sensing and power technologies-including advanced silicon carbide (SiC), and secure connectivity expertise, ST brings to CharIN ability to address and industrialize sophisticated, secure, yet easy-to-use interfaces for hybrid and electric-vehicle (HEV/EV) charging.

 "ST brings valuable automotive, security, sensing, power, and processing expertise to CharIN, along with its strong relationships across the industry that complement and supplement the already-strong CharIN roster of members and partners," said Claas Bracklo, Chairman of the CharIN e.V, in a statement.

 "Standardizing the technical setup and charging of hybrid-electric and electric vehicles globally will reduce range anxiety and be a powerful accelerant for EV adoption," said Marco Monti, Executive Vice President Automotive and Discrete Group, STMicroelectronics, in a statement.
