Inductive Vs. ConductiveCONDUCTIVE CHARGING
Direct power contact (touches)Alignment of contacts criticalSimple data transfer optionsInherently safe (No contact = No power)High power transfer (300kW & up)High efficiencyVisible overhead structure needs styling (or may be objectionable)Lower cost relative to power output availableRequires zone where higher vehicles are prohibitedMature/reliable technology from rail industry
INDUCTION CHARGING
No direct connection (air gap)Some designs need very small gapMandatory wireless communicationRisk of unexpected/uncontrolled powerLower power transfer (50 to 200kW)Power pick-up/alignment hurt efficiencyInfrastructure is easier to keep “hidden” (but at higher cost)Overall higher costRequires induction coil imbedded into roadway (ground clearance issues)Much development work still ongoing
Conductive charging solution offers clear advantages

New Flyer On-Route Rapid Charging
Operational Characteristics
• Easy start-up of rapid charging session Driver parks under overhead contacts while vehicle still running Design of overhead gantry and onboard pantograph makes setup tolerant to misalignment Driver engages switch on dash to raise pantographs Once connection confirmed, driver starts charge cycle and waits for completion Vehicle remains fully interlocked while connected to overhead charge contacts
• No further input is required from driver once charging starts All charging control handled automatically by vehicle and station State of charge (%) battery gauge on dash shows progress to driver Automatic shutdown once vehicle batteries reach full state of charge Automatic stop in the event of errors or faults Critical emergency results in automatic lowering of pantograph which immediately cuts power Driver can also easily terminate charging and resume route at any time before full charge
• Charge ends and driver is able to get back on route quickly Driver lowers pantograph and removes parking brake Interlocks disengage and drive system is fully primed and still in full run mode Driver pulls away and station is ready for next charge session as required
Use of simple, classic, mature overhead connection from rail industry

Operational Characteristics
How Does System Work?• One Bus at a time to be connected with charge station• Bus and charge station automatically detect each other when plugged in• Bus continuously monitors battery status – SOC, Temp etc.• Bus determines charge power required and draws as needed up to a
pre-determined maximum• Optionally, a lower charge power can be selected at charge panel• Operator triggers charging from touch screen on charge station or from
bus – Charging only proceeds when all safety requirements are confirmed
• A Ground fault or Emergency Stop button activation automatically shuts down power system.
• Charge station monitors energy amounts (kWh) transferred to bus and maintains log and summary data

Siemens Industrial Access Point
Garage wireless network provides coordinated communication between the Charge Stations and the Master Power Controller.
The network is extended by the addition of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) nodes.
This enables simple, flexible extension of the wireless network as required.
The Master Power Controller is then able to cycle/control the Charge Stations to maintain the systems electrical requirements.

This Task Force is committed to transparency at the highest level.
All topics are discussed in open meetings and decisions are consensus based (not unanimous).
Task Force members are required to be vigilant in their efforts to monitor Task Force activities and decisions by actively participating in the Task Force.
Any issues with the transparency of this Task Force not resolved by the Task Force Chairman should be brought to the attention of the SAE for resolution.
SAE Anti-Trust Statement
SAE J3068 5
In discharging their responsibilities, members of the Technical Standards Board, Councils/Division, and Technical Committees function as individuals and not as agents or representatives of any organization with which they may be associated,
except that government employees participate in accordance with governmental regulations.
Members are appointed to SAE Technical Committees on the basis of their individual qualifications which enable them to contribute to the work of the Committee.
SAE Patent Disclosure
SAE J3068 6
Each SAE Technical Committee or SAE working group member would be required to disclose at specified times during a development process all patents and patent applications that are owned, controlled or licensed by the member, member’s employer or third party and that the member believes may become essential to the draft specification under development.
The member would make this disclosure based on the member’s good faith and reasonable inquiry.
If SAE International receives a notice that a proposed SAE Technical Report may require the use of an invention claimed in a patent, the respective part of the SAE Technical Standards Board Policy will be followed.
SAE Use Discretion in Information Exchange
SAE J3068 7
Members of SAE Technical Standards Boards, Councils and Technical Committees and working groups shall be sensitive to the nature of information they share and exchange when carrying out their responsibilities.
Members are to exercise discretion at all times keeping in mind that a primary objective of their membership is to contribute to the advancement of technical and engineering science through the development of recognized industry reports and standards.
SAE is not responsible for protecting information exchanged by members, nor will SAE be liable for or mediate any dispute related to any misuse of information.
Scope of J3068
– The SAE has authorized a document for three-phase AC charging for electric vehicles
– ScopeThis document covers the general physical, electrical, functional, testing, and performance requirements for conductive power transfer to an electric vehicle using a coupler capable of, but not limited to, transferring three-phase AC power. It defines a conductive power transfer method including the digital communication system. It also covers the functional and dimensional requirements for the vehicle inlet, supply equipment outlet, and mating housings and contacts.
– Targeted towards charging at commercial and industrial locations or other places where three-phase power is available and preferred.
SAE J3068 8
J3068
• EVSE– Tested to UL-2594, UL-2231
• Three-phase capable coupler– IEC Type-2– Need to be evaluated to UL-2251
• Power levels and voltage – Voltages USA 480VAC / Canada 600VAC– Power example 160A 480VAC 3ø = 133kW
• Increase minimum “packaging room” to allow for heavier duty housings and bigger wires in the future
