An Overview of the Types of Electric Vehicle Charging Connectors Classified

China [CN]

Electric vehicle charging connector is an important interface between electric vehicles and charging equipment, used to realize the transmission and charging functions of electric energy. With the rapid development of the electric vehicle market, charging connectors, as an integral part of the charging process of electric vehicles, are gradually becoming the focus of attention.

The data shows:

Type1: (SAE J1772-2009) Single-phase vehicle coupler with automotive plug specifications.

Type2: (VDE-AR-E 2623-2-2) plug specification for single- and three-phase vehicle couplers.

Type3: Single- and three-phase vehicle couplers equipped with safety shutters, a proposal of the EV Plug Alliance.

Type4: Fast charging coupler for special systems (such as CHAdeMO).

Both on-board and off-board chargers are required to comply with various specifications imposed by regional governments and public utility commissions, depending on where they are deployed. Generally speaking, these are mandatory critical safety and operational requirements. This also involves safety regulations and standards. Electromagnetic compatibility, efficiency, chassis protection, connector type, etc. need to comply with standards.

As the sales of electric vehicles increase and the new energy vehicle industry expands, the number of electric vehicle chargers and charging cables is expected to increase in the future. For example, electric car manufacturers might offer their customers home-installed charging stations or convenient in-car charging connector cables. Even if you don't do this, most electric car users believe that preparing charging cables that meet the specifications for electric cars is a good choice. Owning an electric car should be equipped with a 16A or 32A charging cable. Of course, there is more product information about EV Charging cable, please visit: https://www.omgevcable.com
