EV_Connectors - Overview

EV Connectors are wall-mounted boxes to supply electric energy for the recharging of EV batteries. However, most Electric Cars come with a built-in charger, then why the need for EV Connectors? 

Let’s find this out further.

It seems like the charging station is simply a device to safely allow electricity to flow across. EV Connectors enhance safety by enabling dual communication between the charging station and the vehicle. Also, they are equipped with a safety lock-out feature that refrains current to cross from the device till the time it’s plugged into the car or any vehicle. It’s been recommended to use EV Connectors for charging any Electric Vehicle safely unlike using a simple 15 Amp 240 V socket.

One significant thing to note about the EV connectors is that the current passed to the vehicle is both lesser than the limits of the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Unit) and the limits of what can be supplied to a car.

Types of EV Connectors

Like a phone's charging cable, cables used in cars also seem to have two connectors - one which is plugged into the vehicle socket and the other into the ChargePoint itself. However, the type of connector required is variable from vehicle to vehicle and the speed of the ChargePoint. Some most commonly EV Connectors used are -

  • Vehicle side EV connector types (similar to the model of a phone’s charger)
  • Slow & Fast Charging (AC Connectors - type 1 and type 2)
  • Rapid Charging (CHAdeMO, Combined Charging System (CCS))
  • GB/T Charger
