TOKYO -- China's auto sector has chosen to work with its Japanese counterparts to create a common standard in next-generation chargers for electric vehicles, with an eye on the safety features that Japan is known for.
The goal is to develop next-generation chargers with outputs of over 500 kW, or more than 10 times the current standard. That would enable quick charging of high-capacity batteries that power electric trucks and buses, and allow one charging point to accommodate nearly 10 passenger vehicles at once.
