Type 1, Type 2, CCS, and CHAdeMO connectors are standardised plugs used for Electric Vehicle charging, each with different technical specifications and compatibilities.
Type 1 is primarily used in North America and some Asian countries. Type 2 is the European standard, offering Alternating Current (AC) charging. CCS (Combined Charging System) is an evolution of Type 2, integrating a Direct Current (DC) plug for rapid charging. Finally, CHAdeMO is a DC rapid charging connector, used mainly in Japan and some other regions for compatible vehicles.
Each system meets specific charging needs, depending on the region and vehicle type.
