What Are the Types of EV Charging Connectors?

The differences in charging connector are mainly caused by different power supply voltages and different usage habits in various countries.

In addition, the charging connector types of AC charging stations and DC charging stations are also different.

 

Today, the world’s mainstream charging connector standards are mainly 4 standards.

North American, European, Japanese and Chinese standards.

 

Next, this article divides the charging interface into two categories: EV DC charger connectors and EV AC charger connectors.

DC Charger Connectors:                       AC Charger connectors:

CCS1                                                                  Type-1

CCS2                                                                  Type-2

CHAdeMO                                                          GB/T
