Abstract

A review of NLR's work in charging system reliability for charging inlets, connectors, and adapters. The review includes a detailed discussion on (a) the development of a reference device for the thermal performance of charging connectors and adapters, (b) evaluation of charging adapters and their thermal warning and shutdown response, (c) implications of side-load from real-world implementations, and (d) strengthening the conformance evaluation for end caps based on field data.
