Tesla’s adapted Type 2 socket, which can be found in the Model S and Model X in Europe, allows both charging at home on a normal house AC electricity supply, but also rapid charging using DC electricity. Seven car makers (Audi, BMW, Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Porsche and Volkswagen) agreed in late 2011 to introduce CCS in mid-2012. In May 2022, EUROLOOP announced 720kW charger WILLBERT Amber II S-HUB to be deployed in 2023 across Belgium. One of the requirements for the connector was establishing a connection with the deck and the infotainment system. e. if your hybrid or electric vehicle does not support the charging capacity of 3 Phase charging then the cable will still charge at the maximum charging capacity that your EV allows.

Our Type 2 to Commando socket charger (also known as a CEE socket charger) is compatible with all Type 2 socket hybrid and electric vehicles, charging at a maximum capacity of 1 Phase 16 amps. One of the fastest ways to charge an electric car, direct current (DC) rapid chargers are rated at 50kW.

The EU recommends Type 2 connectors and they are sometimes referred to by the official standard 62196-2. As this date approaches, many of us will get accustomed to EVs and all the electric car connector types. The current wording of this directive states that each fast charging station must have at least a CCS connector. The least common type of electric car charger connector, this features an oval housing and up to seven pins. World EV Summint in Norway – Chademo, Nissan and Volkswagen align on promoting multi-standard fast chargs to accelerate infrastructure deployment and EV adoption" (PDF).

This left Tesla owners in North America unable to take advantage of growing third-party charging networks using the CCS standard. Vehicles will initially come with an adapter in 2024, but new models starting from 2025 will be built with native NACS ports. As it usually happens with every new technology, the beginnings are tough and full of competing standards. High-level communication (HLC) is done by modulating a high-frequency signal over the CP contact (also known as Power Line Communication or PLC) to transfer more complex information, which may be used e.
