Make sure that the charging station offers the required plug type
Not every charging station offers the same plug types for charging.
These plug types exist:
- Type 2 plug (European standard) - this plug can provide a maximum charging power of 43 kW. It is used by most electric vehicles and charging stations in Europe.
- CCS (Combo) plug (European standard) - this is a so-called ‘fast charger’ that can transmit up to 350 kW of power. This plug has become widely accepted for European electric vehicles, and Tesla is now also using it for its European Model 3. Most fast-charging stations offer this plug.
- CHAdeMo plug - this is the Japanese counterpart to the CCS plug. The plug is therefore mainly used in vehicles from Japanese manufacturers. This plug is not available at all fast-charging stations.
