Electric cars have many advantages, But to ensure smooth and reliable use, especially on long trips, it’ s important to know the different charging plug types. Here’ s a quick guide to the most common plug types for EVs: Type 1, Type 2, and CCS (Combined Charging System).
NEMA 14-15 plugs are standardized electrical connectors used widely in the United States. Adhering to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standards ensures safety and compatibility. Featuring two flat prongs spaced 1.5 inches apart, NEMA 14-15 plugs are designed for devices requiring 15 amps or less, including laptops, smartphones, and printers.
These plugs pair seamlessly with NEMA 14-15 receptacles commonly found in both residential and commercial settings. They are also compatible with other NEMA 14 variants, such as NEMA 14-20 and NEMA 14-30.

RCD (residual current device) is a safety production device used to check and prevent electrical leakage in EV chargers. Electrical be cut down to prevent accidents when RCD detects electricity abnormality.
The UK Smart Charging Regulations set clear requirements for smart charging technology, interoperability, security and data monitoring, and set the direction of technology improvement and market development for the EV charging equipment industry.
DIN 70121 is an early CCS DC fast charging communication protocol that provides basic vehicle-charger communication but it has no advanced authentication and security cryptography.
