EV Connector Types. The most common (and preferred) connector for a home charger is the SAE J1772. It is the connector used to charge the most popular EVs

There are different types of electric vehicle charging speeds and connectors from slow to rapid. Find out which charger is best suited for your EV.


Charging Cable Connector Types


Type 1
A five pin plug that also features a clip, this connector is typically found on EVs manufactured by Asian brands e.g. Nissan.
Type 2
A seven pin plug with one flat edge, this connector is typically found on EVs manufactured by European brands e.g. BMW.
Combined Charging System (CCS)
Standardised by the EU, this connector is only used for rapid charging points and is typically compatible with EVs manufactured by European brands e.g. Volkswagen.
UK 3 pin
The same plug as a standard UK electrical outlet, this connector can be used to charge some EVs but typically lacks the safety, speed and security features of dedicated systems.
CHAdeMO
A round four pin plug, this connector is only used for rapid charging points and is typically compatible with EVs manufactured by Asian brands e.g. Mitsubishi.
