EV Charger Types, Connectors & Speeds

EV charger types

Similar to charging cables, car charging cables tend to have two connectors, one that plugs into the vehicle socket and the other into the chargepoint itself.

The type of connector you need varies by vehicle and the power rating ("speed") of the chargepoint.*

• Electric vehicles either have a Type 1 or Type 2 socket for slow/fast charging and CHAdeMO or CCS for DC rapid charging.**
• Most slow/fast chargepoints have a Type 2 socket. Occasionally they will have a cable attached instead. All DC rapid charging stations have a cable attached with mostly a CHAdeMO and a CCS connector.
• Most EV drivers purchase a portable charging cable that matches their vehicle&#;s Type 1 or Type 2 socket so that they can charge on public networks.

* This guide is based on the UK and may not include complete information for all countries.
** With the exception of Tesla Model X and Model S vehicles to date, which use Type 2 connectors for DC rapids. Adapters that allow to charge these Tesla models via CHAdeMO or CCS connectors are available.

EVs are better for the environment

The &#;end of oil&#; is closer than people think. Fossil fuels &#; including gasoline &#; are not permanent resources. And fossil fuel consumption produces smog, greenhouse gases, and other pollutants harmful to human health.

All battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) produce zero local emissions. And because PHEVs and HEVs are more efficient than gasoline-only powered vehicles, they produce much less tailpipe emissions, even when running only on gasoline.

There&#;s a common misconception that the production of electric vehicles &#; and the energy electricity generated to charge them &#; creates as much harmful pollutants as gas powered vehicles. That&#;s simply not true. Electric vehicle emissions are lower. And the grids that power them continue to increase their sourcing from renewable energies, electric vehicles will continue to get cleaner. On our end, EVgo powers all of our chargers with 100% renewable electricity from wind and solar.

NOTE: The Union of Concerned Scientists has an excellent visual graph to show the estimated emissions for various areas across the US &#; some with over 100MPGe!
