Key Takeaways
- Type 2 is the most common connector for home AC charging.
- CCS2 adds two DC pins for fast charging at stations.
- A home charger is usually Type 2; check your car inlet before buying.
Choosing the wrong charger means a cable that does not fit your car. Here are the differences:
Type 2: home AC charging
The common connector for slow and medium AC charging, used by most home wall chargers.
CCS2: DC fast charging
It builds on the Type 2 plug with two extra DC pins, enabling fast charging at public stations. A car with a CCS2 inlet also accepts a Type 2 cable for home charging.
What about Tesla?
It depends on the model and market of purchase, and Teslas are often compatible with Type 2 chargers through the right cable. Check your car inlet or ask your dealer before buying.
