EVconnector
EVconnector, short for Electric Vehicle connector, refers to the physical interface used to connect an electric vehicle (EV) to an external power source, such as a charging station or a home charging unit. These connectors are designed to facilitate the transfer of electrical energy from the power source to the vehicle's battery, enabling it to recharge.
There are several types of EVconnectors in use worldwide, each with its own specifications and compatibility.
- SAE Combo (also known as Tesla Connector), which is widely used in North America and is compatible
- CCS (Combined Charging System), which is a standard developed by the China Electric Vehicle Association and
- CHAdeMO, a connector developed by the CHAdeMO Association, primarily used in Japan and some other Asian
- Type 2, a connector standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), commonly used in Europe
- GB/T, a connector used in China, similar to the CHAdeMO connector but with different pin configurations.
The choice of EVconnector depends on the vehicle model, the charging infrastructure available in a particular
