Type 2 Standardization
The Type 2 connector has been adopted in Europe, together with its Combo CCS version for very fast recharging on public terminals. It will be the norm in the European Union starting from 2025. The great majority of vehicles and charging stations are already equipped with this connector nowadays.
Nevertheless, there are still older or foreign electric cars that embed other types of connectors, so it is not always easy to understand which plug you need. As each geographical area has its own preferences, the existence of multitude of connectors remains inevitable.
