Standardizing Configuration and Charging of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles
Providing Electrical, Security, Sensing, Power, and Processing Technologies to CharIN

STMicroelectronics (hereinafter ST) has joined CharIN (Charging Interface Initiative e.V.), an open association for the establishment and development of electric vehicle combo charging systems.

ST, equipped with automotive and security microcontroller portfolios, sensing technologies, advanced power technologies such as SiC (Silicon Carbide), and secure connectivity expertise, stated that it will provide CharIN with sophisticated, secure, and user-friendly interfaces necessary for hybrid and electric vehicle (HEV/EV) charging.



Claas Bracklo, Chairman of CharIN, stated, "ST will not only provide CharIN with excellent expertise related to electrical systems, security, sensing, power, and processing, but will also strengthen the solidarity among CharIN's existing members and partners through robust collaborative relationships across the industry."

Marco Monti, Senior Vice President of ST's Automotive and Discrete Group, said, "Standardizing the technical configuration and charging of hybrid and electric vehicles globally will reduce range anxiety and serve as a powerful catalyst for EV proliferation." He continued, "ST possesses long-standing experience and leadership in automotive electrical and power electronics fields, along with a broad product portfolio. By combining this with our capabilities and recognition in sensors, secure payment, and secure communications, we can make significant contributions to the CharIN initiative and satisfy industry-wide needs by bringing these technologies to market at the appropriate time."
