In Europe, All Tesla V2 supercomputers are equipped with double cable terminals for Take charge of CC type 2 charging ports (CEI standard 62196) as well as the CCS Combo 2, Since November 2018. Thus, and overall, Almost all 100 % electric and rechargeable hybrid vehicles are compatible with Tesla charging stations. Whether Audi (e-tron), Mercedes (Eq, A 250 e, B 250 e), BMW (i3), Hyundai (Kona, Ioniq), Jaguar (I-Pace, F-Pace ), Kia (E-Niro), Renault (Zoe), Peugeot (E-208, E-2008, e-Rifter), Porsche (Taycan) or Volkswagen (e-up!), it is difficult to be exhaustive as the examples of models are legion.

The different types of connectors for electric vehicles

The type 1 connector, slowly dependent, is one of the oldest. It is used to connect to an alternating source source and therefore, to connect to the house or to low -power public chargers. The limit is 32 single -phase amps, with a delivered power of 7 kW (7 kW in an hour). The Renault Kangoo Ze, the Peugeot Ion and the Nissan Leaf 1 and 2 are equipped with it.

The type 2 connector, Slow and fast load, offers a continuous current recharge up to 50 kW (120 kW at Tesla) and alternating current up to 63 amps and 43 kW in three -phase. It is now the most common connector, with the CCS Combo. The Renault Zoe 1 and 2, the Tesla Model S, X and 3, the Hyundai Ioniq and Kona Electric, the Kia E-Niro, the Audi E-Tron, BMW i3 or Mercedes Eqc are equipped with it.

The Combo CSS type connector (also called Combo, or sometimes type 2 CSS Combo), fast load. This is the standard connector in Europe since 2014. Extension of type 2 connector, it offers flows greater than 250 kW.

What is it, the CCS combo ?

If you have an electric vehicle, You must have heard about the combo socket, who may be talked about for years still. European standard for the electric vehicle recharge network (source), Combo CCS is the abbreviation of Combined Charging System Or Combined load system.

The combo is nothing more or less than a Battery electric vehicle recharge technology standardized, Fruit of the cooperation of 7 car manufacturers, including Audi, BMW, Daimler, Porsche and Volkswagen, as well as Ford and General Motors. Among the best known networks equipped with this standard, we will cite for example Corri-Door or Ionity.

The combo socket bears his name, Because it actually presents Two sockets. One above, is a round connector type 2 dedicated to alternating current. The other, below, is distinguished by two largest circle. She’s there for quick continuous recharge. Several technical choices have been retained in their design, especially for the sake of compatibility and simplification, so that the CCS combo can recharge indifferently on an alternating or continuous current terminal with a single base.

Ccs

There are two versions of this standard:

CCS 1.0 : 80 kW max (400 volts, 200 amps)
CCS 2.0 : 350 kW max (200 to 1000 volts, 500 amps) + Implementation of the “plug and load” protocol allowing the identification of the vehicle by the terminal to pay the recharge.

There version 3.0 of CCS, Still being definition, will guarantee ascending compatibility with previous versions while adding new features. We will cite for example the reverse power transfer, inductive recharging or wireless communication during recharging.
