Talking about the types of charging connectors of electric vehicles in the world

 As is often the case with every new technology, the beginning is difficult and full of competitive standards. Each manufacturer uses and develops its own standards and processes. Only time can decide who will win. This is true for mobile phone charging connectors, and now for electric vehicle charging cable connectors. Let's look at all the charging connectors in the world now.


For simplicity, different types of connectors can be roughly divided according to the regions where they are most used. Although this is a simplified statement. The AC charging station usually has no integrated charging line, so the driver carries the charging line suitable for his car, and the problem of connector type is basically eliminated. For safety reasons, current volume, cable price and weight, DC fast charging station is always attached with cables. Therefore, it is necessary to select sites with appropriate connectors.


AC connector:

The first batch of electric vehicles, such as GM EV1, used inductive connection for charging, in which the current was transmitted by electromagnetic induction. However, this charging method was not popular at that time because it was not efficient enough. (Today, we can hear the suggestion of returning to induction charging, and Norway is the most advanced country in this field so far.) Inefficiency has created a demand for conductive connection design, its elegant name is SAE J1772-2001. One of the requirements for the connector is to establish a connection with the deck and infotainment system.


In China, under the supervision of the National Standards Standardization Committee, the GB/T plug has been developed and is currently the only plug used. The fact that there are no other types of connectors to compete with in the country has promoted the development of charging infrastructure. It is noteworthy that China is the country with the densest network of charging stations and the largest number of electric vehicles in the world.
