CCS2 DC Fast Charger Procurement Checklist
A practical sourcing checklist for buyers ordering CCS2 DC fast chargers for commercial, fleet, highway and CPO charging projects.
CCS2 is a common choice for DC fast charging projects in Europe and many export markets, but a CCS2 request still needs clear power, connector, cable, backend and document requirements. A connector name alone is not enough for a useful quotation.
Send Your CCS2 DC Charger RFQ
Tell the supplier whether the charger is for a single site, distributor stock, fleet depot or public charging network.
CCS2 buying checklist
| Area | What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Power | 60kW, 120kW, 150kW or higher-power DC | Power level should match dwell time, vehicle demand and grid capacity. |
| Connector count | Single CCS2, dual CCS2, or CCS2 plus another connector | Connector layout affects power sharing and vehicle compatibility. |
| Cable | Cable length, cooling need, holder position and parking layout | Cable handling influences user experience and maintenance. |
| OCPP | Protocol version, CSMS, RFID, QR or POS payment | Public charging sites need tested network operation. |
| Documents | Datasheet, manual, model certificate, label and test file scope | Importers and tenders often need model-level documentation. |
Before you choose the lowest price
- Confirm whether the quoted cable, RFID reader, modem, payment interface and OCPP function are included.
- Ask whether the CCS2 charger can be tested with your backend before shipment.
- Check spare parts, warranty responsibility and remote support process.
- Review input voltage, protection level and installation environment.
- Compare sample cost and batch price under the same Incoterm.
What should buyers confirm before ordering CCS2 DC fast chargers?
A CCS2 DC fast charger RFQ should define vehicle compatibility, power level, connector count, payment workflow and documentation scope. CCS2 is common for European and many international DC charging projects, but the correct model still depends on site power, simultaneous charging needs, OCPP backend, cable length, cooling, display language, CE documentation, installation environment and whether the buyer needs distributor branding or project tender files.
Buyer decision table
| Choice | Best fit | Buyer note |
|---|---|---|
| 60kW to 80kW CCS2 | Urban parking, small fleet, retail and moderate turnover | Lower grid requirement and easier site entry. |
| 120kW to 150kW CCS2 | Highway, public charging, fleet depot and commercial stations | Common project range for faster sessions and stronger station positioning. |
| 200kW+ CCS2/HPC | High-traffic stations, truck planning and premium corridors | Requires stronger grid, cable planning and utilization assumptions. |
RFQ checklist buyers should send
| RFQ item | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Power and output | Target kW, voltage range, single or dual gun, simultaneous charging and power sharing. |
| Connector | CCS2 cable length, cable management, CHAdeMO/GB/T option if needed. |
| Software | OCPP version, CSMS provider, RFID, QR, POS and remote diagnostics. |
| Documentation | Datasheet, CE scope, EMC/safety notes, manual, packing and HS code support. |
| Site details | Country, grid input, indoor/outdoor, IP rating, parking layout and quantity. |
Buyer mistake to avoid
Do not ask only for a CCS2 charger price. Without power level, OCPP, payment and site information, suppliers cannot quote a practical station configuration.
What makes a CCS2 quotation reliable
A reliable CCS2 quotation should show the exact output configuration, not only the cabinet power. Buyers should check whether the charger supports one gun or two guns, how power is shared during simultaneous sessions, whether the voltage range matches the target vehicles, and whether cable length and cable handling fit the site. These details affect user experience, maintenance and installation cost.
Documentation is also part of procurement risk. Importers, EPC contractors and charging operators should request model-matched datasheets, rating label drafts, packing information, CE-related scope where applicable and OCPP test expectations before confirming a batch. If a tender requires payment, RFID, QR, POS or a named CSMS platform, include that in the RFQ so the supplier can confirm compatibility instead of quoting a generic CCS2 fast charger.
For public sites, also confirm screen language, emergency stop placement, network method, warranty response and spare-parts handling. These points are often reviewed after installation, but they should be settled before the charger cabinet is built and packed.
