It is the usual plug you have at home or in the office. In addition to being in the vast majority of domestic applications, it is very common to find it on motorcycles and electric bicycles. It is also used in some electric cars, such as the Twizy. The designs are described with sufficient detail to allow compatibility between products of different manufacturers. This IEC technical specification describes how vehicle connectors and vehicle inlets according to IEC 62196-3 can be used with cables with quite small conductor cross section if thermal management is applied. Thermal management uses thermal sensors and adjusts the current to limit the temperature rise of the cable assembly. For example, in Europe, you will often come across the ‘CCS Combo 2’ connector (see picture) which has the Type 2 AC connector at the top and the CCS DC connector at the bottom.
IP66 védelmi szint (teljes mértékben védett por ellen, és erős vízsugár és vízbe merítés ellen védett) The CHAdeMO connector is a DC-only connector developed in Japan by an association of companies including the automakers Nissan, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Honda, and later, Toyota. It was designed to compete with the Type 2 connector to provide a globally standardised charging connector. Its odd name is apparently an abbreviation of “Charge de Move” or a pun on a Japanese turn of phrase “O cha demo ikaga desuka” meaning “let’s have a tea while charging,” according to the association.

As mentioned above, regular household plugs in the UK provide up to 13 Amp and it will take more than 8 hours to completely charge an electric vehicle through them. Whereas most commercial and workplace charging units provide fast 7kW-22kW chargers with 32 amp current. The AC vehicle charging inlets are mainly produced for PHEV vehicles. They can be used nationwide and are fully compatible with the existing charging infrastructure. These inlets allow the vehicle to be gently charged while stationary, generate charging power of up to 22 kW and meet protection class IP 45 during charging. MENNEKES offers specific solutions for available installation spaces.
Electric Vehicles and Plugin Hybrid (PHEV) cars are equipped with an inbuilt charger through which they can easily charge the vehicles from the normal main supply. Some vehicles however will require an additional charging cable that will allow the owners to charge their cars away from home. Any cable used must be truly ‘heavy-duty’ in that the core must be able to sustain high loads and the whole thing should be properly tested, weather-proof and flexible. Owning an electric vehicle is great and electricity is available pretty much everywhere but not at any price and manufacturers’ guidelines should always be adhered to. Most EVs in North America now utilize a CCS 1 plug. Japanese automakers such as Nissan have transitioned from CHAdeMO to CCS 1 for all new models in North America. However, like the SAE J1772 Type 1 plug, Tesla has their proprietary charging standard for North America.

However, they provide a compatible adapter allowing Tesla drivers to charge using a J1772 charger. EV Connector Type If you’ve read anything about electric cars in the last decade or so, you’ve probably heard of the 'Type 2' connector. It is the most common plug type used by EVs and is the standard throughout Europe. Most electric cars in Australia are fitted with a Type 2 port and it is all but the standard here (Australia does not yet have a standardised electric car charging network).

Solar charging
The IEC 62196 Type 2 connector (often referred to as Mennekes for the company that designed it) is used for charging electric vehicles, mainly within Europe, as it was declared standard by the EU. Based on widespread red IEC 60309 three phase plugs with five pins, which come in different diameters according to maximum current (most common are 16 A and 32 A), a single size was selected, as maximum possible power will be communicated to the car via two additional communication pins and by a simple resistor coding within the cable. The onboard charger inside the car has to limit the current accordingly. Type 2 connectors are often called ‘Mennekes’ connectors, after the German manufacturer that invented the design.They have a 7-pin plug. The Type 2 connector system was originally proposed by Mennekes in 2009. The system was later tested and standardised by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) as VDE-AR-E 2623-2-2, and subsequently recommended by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) in 2011. In January 2013, the IEC 62196 Type 2 connector was selected by the European Commission as official AC charging plug within the European Union. [4] It has since been adopted as the recommended connector in most countries worldwide, including New Zealand. [5] When passing AC, the maximum power of the Mennekes connector is 43kW. [6] The IEC 62196 Type 1 connector (codified under SAE J1772) is the corresponding standard for single-phase AC charging in the United States, Canada, and South Korea. [7] J1772 has a maximum output of 19.2kW. [8] Nearly all manufacturers now use it on their new models including Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Polestar, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, MG, Jaguar, Mini, Peugeot, Vauxhall / Opel, Citroen, Nissan, and VW. CCS has become the default standard for rapid charging. Type 2 cables have resistors that communicate with the car and tell it that the cable is plugged in and to keep charging whilst other resistor functions are maintaining the uniform supply of power as it detects the strength of the cable and derives power accordingly. Whereas the resistors in the Type 1 cable detect whether the cable is plugged in the car or not and decide to turn off the charger in case the lever is pressed to unlatch the plug.
It is important to note that a CCS DC fast charging station will require liquid-cooled charging cables when it delivers more than 200 amps. These liquid-cooled cables would apply to both CCS 1 and CCS 2 electric vehicle chargers.

ACEA– European Automobile Manufacturers Association. 2011-03-02. Archived (PDF) from the original on 2012-12-02. DC connectors are typically found at services and within fleet chargers. Rapid DC chargers typically start at a charging rate of 50kW, whereas ultra-rapid chargers can charge at 100-150+kW. Occasionally these can reach as high as 350kw.Configuration FF is intended to be used with DC charging stations that implement System C according to IEC 61851-23 and PLC communication according to IEC 61851-24 Annex C and ISO 15118-3. Now that we know the difference between AC and DC charging, let’s take a closer look at each type of EV charging connector: SAE J1772 CONNECTOR – TYPE 1 As with AC charging, China has its own standards for DC charging. GB / T is currently working with CHAdeMO to develop a third generation of connectors that should be capable of transmitting 900 kW.
