IEC 62196-2

1.

Type2 is also known as IEC 62196-2.  This standard was developed by Mennekes, a German company, and is mainly used for European brands of electric vehicles.

Its characteristic is the plug socket all has 7 joints (3 live wire +1 ground wire +1 middle line (zero line) +2 signal line).  Why are there three lines of fire?  This is because Europe has the concept of 3-phase electricity, while the United States does not.
