The Charging Interface Initiative e. V, an open association founded to develop and establish the Combined Charging System (CCS) as the standard for charging all kinds of battery-powered electric vehicles, has announced that STMicroelectronics has become a member of the initiative.

With its portfolio of automotive and secure microcontrollers, sensing and power technologies-including advanced silicon carbide (SiC), and secure connectivity expertise, ST brings to CharIN ability to address and industrialize sophisticated, secure, yet easy-to-use interfaces for hybrid and electric-vehicle (HEV/EV) charging.

"ST brings valuable automotive, security, sensing, power, and processing expertise to CharIN, along with its strong relationships across the industry that complement and supplement the already-strong CharIN roster of members and partners," said Claas Bracklo, Chairman of the CharIN e.V, in a statement.

"Standardizing the technical setup and charging of hybrid-electric and electric vehicles globally will reduce range anxiety and be a powerful accelerant for EV adoption," said Marco Monti, Executive Vice President Automotive and Discrete Group, STMicroelectronics, in a statement.
