Are new connector types (other than
CCS, J1772, and J3400) likely to enter
the market?
d. What is the anticipated useful life
of the CCS, J1772, and J3400 connectors
and cables that are currently in use (or
that will be installed in the near future)?
e. What is the expected impact of the
TIR to the market for vehicle models
that were manufactured to utilize CCS/
J1772 connectors?
5. Performance-Based Standards 4
a. If there is a need to include J3400
connectors on chargers, what are the
advantages and disadvantages of the
following design-based approaches?
Approach 1: Include both J3400 and
CCS Type 1/J1772 connectors on each
port.
Approach 2: Include a specified
number of each type of connector (J3400
and CCS Type 1/J1772) at each charging
station.
Under Approach 2, what is the
optimal ratio of J3400 connectors to
CCS/J1772 connectors? Why?
If there is not a need to include J3400
connectors on chargers, what are the
advantages and disadvantages of the
following design-based approaches to
including J3400, CCS/J1772, or other
connectors alongside cables?
Approach 1: Provide at least one
adapter for J3400 connectors at each
charging station.
Approach 2: Customers must provide
their own adapters for use.
Are there alternative design-based
approaches to accommodate J3400 and
CCS/J1772 equipped vehicles?
b. Are there performance-based
alternatives to specifying charging
standards and communication standards
(such as J3400, J1772, or ISO 15118) by
reference that would support a
convenient, affordable, reliable, and
equitable EV charging network while
reducing the need for future refinement
to federal regulations?
c. Which performance-based
alternative (i.e., standards that specify a
level of service and types of vehicles a
charger must support without specifying
specific connectors) would best
facilitate competition and innovation in
EV markets? Which performance-based
alternatives have the potential to harm
competition, create consumer lock in, or
otherwise erect or increase entry
barriers?
d. Should performance-based
standards include requirements for
achieving Key Performance Indicators
4 As noted above, the term ‘‘performance-based
standards’’ in this context refers to standards that
specify a level of service and types of vehicles a
charger must support without specifying specific
connectors.

most important to EV customers? If so,
what should those Key Performance
Indicators be?
6. Other Considerations
a. Is there anything additionally that
should be considered related to EV
charging connector standards and
technologies that is not covered in the
above questions?
b. Are there any supply chain issues
for EVs and EVSEs related to support for
800V architectures?
