Information
Definition
GB/T Charging Standard refers to Chinese national recommended standards used for conductive EV charging, including requirements for AC and DC charging connections and associated communication. In EV charging, the term is commonly used to describe the Chinese charging interface and protocol ecosystem, including the GB/T 20234 series.
Why it matters
GB/T is not the normal charging interface used by UK-market vehicles or public chargers, but it matters when assessing imported vehicles, international charger compatibility or equipment designed for the Chinese market. UK users may encounter GB/T alongside CCS and CHAdeMO in global charger specifications and connector comparisons.
