What is the CCS2 TO GBT Adapter?

A CCS2 to GBT adapter is a specialized charging interface device that allows an electric vehicle (EV) with a GBT charging port (China’s GB/T standard) to be charged using a CCS2 (Combined Charging System Type 2) DC fast charger (the standard used in Europe, parts of the Middle East, Australia, etc.).

A 300kw 400kw DC 1000V CCS2 to GB/T adapter is a device that allows an electric vehicle (EV) with a GB/T charging port to use a CCS2 fast-charging station. It’s an essential accessory for owners of Chinese-made EVs who live or travel in Europe and other regions where CCS2 is the dominant DC fast-charging standard.

CCS2 (Combo 2)
Used in Europe and many global markets.
Based on the Type 2 AC connector with two added DC pins for fast charging.
Communicates using PLC (Power Line Communication).
GBT (GB/T 20234.3 DC)
China’s national DC fast charging standard.
Uses a larger rectangular connector (separate from the AC GB/T plug).
Communicates using CAN bus.

⚙️ What the adapter does

Mechanical adaptation: Matches the physical plug shapes (CCS2 inlet on the charger → GBT socket on the car).
Electrical adaptation: Handles high-power DC current (typically 200–1000V, up to 250–600A depending on model).
Communication protocol translation: Converts PLC signals from CCS2 chargers into CAN bus signals that a GBT vehicle understands, and vice versa. This is the most complex part.
