Car charging cables are similar to phone charging cables having two connectors. One plug connects to the in-car socket and the other to the charging point, but the connector type varies according to the needs of the charging point’s vehicle and power rating speed. Check out connector types and their functions below, but before that, a short introduction.
- Electric cars have type 1 or 2 sockets for fast or slow charging and CCS or CHAdeMO for DC fast charging.
- Many of the slow or fast charging points have a type 2 socket with an attached cable. And all DC rapid charging stations have connected cable with CSS and CHAdeMO connectors.
- Most EV drivers buy portable charging cables that match up to their car’s Type 1 and Type 2 sockets to charge on any of the public networks.
EV Type connectors
Such connectors fit in a socket on your vehicle and can be thought of as phone-side connectors for charging on Android or Apple phone cables. But, of course, it depends on the type of car or phone you own, and various connectors may fit in your phone.
Rapid Charging
This one is typically used as an en-route rapid charging where there are around three types of DC connectors in the car. All the stations of DC quick charging will have cables with both CCS and CHAdeMo connectors. You will have to select the one that fits the socket of the car. Fast chargers do not consistently charge at their power rating for the protection of the battery.
Chargepoint side EV type
Only one kind of ChargePoint socket is being used for top-up charging at work, home, and destinations, though few might use a standard three-pin plug from their wall like an emergency backup. This type 2 ChargePoint socket is considered universal. It can also be used as a wall socket to charge android or apple phones because the socket is identical for each, but the cable is specific for phone or car type.
That is all about the types of connectors. Do you know about some popular electric car chargers?
