Air Cooling Liquid Cooling CCS 2 Plug 250A 300A 350A CCS2 Gun DC CCS EV Connector

Air Cooling Liquid Cooling CCS2 Gun CCS Combo 2 EV Plug

The CCS2 EV Plug is designed for high-power DC EV charging applications. It offers superior power delivery, safety, and user convenience. The CCS2 EV plug is compatible with all CCS2-enabled electric vehicles and is approved for public and private charging networks.

The CCS2 EV Plug uses ultrasonic welding technology, which makes it highly reliable with a resistance close to zero. With its output current capability of up to 350A and natural heat dissipation, it allows electric vehicle owners to achieve faster and safer charging.

Type CCS2 plug for EV charging systems

CCS Type 2 cables (SAE J3068, Mennekes) are used to charge EV produced for Europe, Australia, South America and many others. This connector supports single- or three-phase alternating current. Also, for DC charging it was extended with direct current section to CCS Combo 2 connector.

Most of EVs created nowadays have Type 2 or CCS Combo 2 (that also has backward compatibility of Type 2) socket.

Connector Type 2 supports three-phase AC charging up to 32A on each phase. A charging might be up to 43 kW on alternating current networks. It’s extended version, CCS Combo 2, supports Direct Current charging which can fill battery with maximum 350AMP on supercharger stations.

CCS Type 2 vs Type 1 Comparison

The CCS Type 2 and CCS Type 1 connectors are very similar by design on the outside. But they very different on application and supported power grid. CCS2 (and its predecessor, Type 2) have no upper circle segment, while CCS1 has a completely circular design. That’s why CCS1 can’t replace its European brother, at least without special adapter.

Type 2 surpasses Type 1 by charging speed because of three-phase AC power grid usage. CCS Type 1 and CCS Type 2 have almost the same characteristics.

Which Cars use CSS Combo Type 2 for Charging?
As mentioned earlier, CCS Type 2 is more common in Europe, Australia and South America. Therefore, this list of most popular automobile manufacturers establishes them serially in their electric vehicles and PHEVs produced for this region:

Renault ZOE (from 2019 Z.E. 50);
Peugeot e-208;
Porsche Taycan 4S Plus/Turbo/Turbo S, Macan EV;
Volkswagen e-Golf;
Tesla Model 3;
Hyundai Ioniq;
Audi e-tron;
BMW i3;
Jaguar I-PACE;
Mazda MX-30.
CCS Type 2 to CCS Type 1 Adapter

If you export a car from the EU (or another region where the CCS Type 2 is common), you will have a problem with charging stations. Most of the USA is covered by charging stations with CCS Type 1 connectors.
