It’s best not to be shaking when you do this, or have had a few drinks. Because the tip engages as long as you align it perfectly; the slightest wrong angle and it won’t work. Fortunately, the cover of the plug is equipped with a light, very practical when you’re connecting your EV at night. Photo: Auto123 J1772 connector You'll be excited to know that Level 1 connector is poetically named J1772 . It's available on all EVs sold in North America, with the exception of vehicles made by Tesla, which never does anything like everyone else, but nevertheless provides an adapter to its owners.
Level 2 charging occurs when you turn to 240 volts ; this is what you get when you have a standard charging station installed at home. Here again, the J1772 charging connector does the job. Next is the CHAdeMO connector popularized by the Tokyo Electric Power Company. CHAdeMO stands for "Charge to Move" or, as dubbed by Stellantis, a Charge'N'Go. If you drive an Asian-made EV , you use the CHAdeMO nozzle.
Another thing worth noting: “As soon as one of the two connectors at a station is activated, the other cannot be used,” explains Yannick. In other words, a single public charging station only handles a single EV at a time.Because the CHAdeMo plug cannot accept electrical power in excess of 50 kWh, newer EVs are moving away from the CHAdeMo plug to the CCS Combo which can handle up to 350 kWh.
