What Are the Different Types of Chargers for Electric Cars?

There are currently three major charging interface standards for electric cars worldwide

Type 1: Mainly used in the United States and Europe for American and Japanese vehicles.

Type 1 cable is also known as type 1 to type 2 cable, or SAE J1772 to IEC 62196-2 cable.

There are two specifications, 16A and 32A, with only single-phase and no three-phase

Mainly suitable for American electric vehicles

Type 2: Mainly used in Europe and other markets for European vehicles.

Type 2 cable, also known as type 2 to type 2 cable, or type 2 female to male cable

Divided into four specifications: 16A, 32A, 16A 3P, and 32A 3P

Mainly suitable for European electric vehicles

GB/T: China and India standards.

The GB/T also known as the charging device connector of the GB/T 20234.2 standard, can be divided into two types: DC and AC

According to the voltage level, the EV charger is divided into the following categories

level 1: Cheapest AC charegr main needle Charging 110/120VAC

For a leaf, this means about 4.5 miles of range per hour of charging , or about 22hours for a full charge.

level 2: AC charger, power is 3.5/7/11/22KW, mainly for 220V/240VAC charging

About 15/30/40/80 miles of range per hour of charging

Level 3: DC fast charger

For example, 100KW DC arger, it provides up to 70 miles of range fro every 10 minutes of charging. These stations are expensive (up to $100,000) and require more power than your house, so you'll never have one of these in you garage.
