What is a CCS2 plug for DC Charger Station ?

CCS2 Plug Connector for EV Charging System

CCS Type 2 Female Plug The Combined Charging System plug is an industry-standard vehicle connector for convenient charging of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) and Electric Vehicles. CCS Type 2 supporting AC & DC Charging standards of Europe/ Australia and increasingly global standards

A CCS2 (Combined Charging System 2) plug is a type of connector used for charging electric vehicles (EVs) that use DC (direct current) fast charging. The CCS2 plug has a combined AC (alternating current) and DC charging capability, which means that it can handle both AC charging from a regular wall outlet or AC charging station and DC fast charging from a dedicated DC fast charging station.

The CCS2 plug is designed to be compatible with most electric vehicles, particularly those sold in Europe and Asia. It has a compact design and supports high charging power levels, which means that it can deliver a significant amount of charge to an electric vehicle in a short amount of time.

The CCS2 plug has several pins and connectors, which allow it to communicate with the electric vehicle and the charging station to ensure safe and efficient charging. Overall, the CCS2 plug is an important component of the infrastructure needed to support the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
