7 kw charger

The IS 17017 Type 7 connector (often referred to as LECCS for Light Electric Combined Charging System) is used for charging electric two-wheelers and electric three-wheelers, mainly within India, as it is one of two DC plug standards described in IS 17017-2. The Type 7 connector is a combined alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) charging system. It has since been formally approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and published as Indian Standard IS 17017 (Part 2/Section 7):2023. The Type 6 connector (IS 17017) (also known as LEVDC) is the corresponding DC-only connector standard used in India for light electric vehicles.
Type 7 connectors are derived from the need to provide a unified charging interface that handles both AC and DC charging through a single port. The battery management system on the electric vehicle negotiates the maximum current with the electric vehicle supply equipment via dedicated pins in the Type 7 connector using CAN bus communication. The Type 7 connectors support both AC charging (up to 7.7 kW) and DC fast charging (up to 12 kW). Type 7 connectors feature an energized latch on the vehicle-side inlet for secure connection, distinguishing them from Type 6 connectors which use mechanical latches on the charger side.
