North American Charging Standard
The North American Charging Standard (NACS) (previously known as "Tesla charging connector") is an electric vehicle charging standard developed by Tesla, used on all North American market Tesla vehicles since 2012, and was opened for use to other manufacturers in 2022. Ford, General Motors , and Aptera have announced that they intend to use the NACS standard in the future. History Tesla developed a proprietary charging connector for the Tesla Model S in 2012, and used it on all of their mainstream EVs, including the Model 3, Model X, and Model Y. Tesla's business strategy was markedly different from other EV manufacturers and Tesla built a coast-to-coast charging network across the United States, and later built a substantial charging network in a number of developed countries where Tesla sold their cars. After initial testing allowing non-Tesla EVs to use Supercharger stations in Europe, Tesla began to test a proprietary Magic Dock connector at select North America ...

GB/T Charging Standard
The GB/T charging standard is a set of GB/T standards, primarily in the GB/T 20234 family, for electric vehicle AC and DC fast charging used in China. The standards were revised and updated most recently in 2015 by the Standardization Administration of China. Overview The GB/T charging standards are comparable to similar standards from the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and the International Standards Organization (ISO) which provide general, physical, and signaling requirements for electric vehicle charging interfaces. * GB/T 18487 provides general requirements for conductive charging systems, corresponding to IEC 61851. * GB/T 20234 provides physical requirements for connectors and interfaces, corresponding to IEC 62196 and SAE J1772. * GB/T 27930 provides communication requirements, corresponding to ISO 15118 and SAE J1772. List of standards The five referenced GB/T standards were revised and released on Decem ...

CHAdeMO
CHAdeMO is a fast-charging system for battery electric vehicles, developed starting in 2010 by the CHAdeMO Association, formed by the Tokyo Electric Power Company and five major Japanese automakers. The name is an abbreviation of "CHArge de MOve" (which the organization translates as "charge for moving") and is derived from the Japanese phrase "" (), translating to English as "How about a cup of tea?", referring to the time it would take to charge a car. It competes with the Combined Charging System (CCS), which since 2014 has been required on electric vehicles sold in the European Union, Tesla's proprietary connector used by its Supercharger network outside of Europe, and China's GB/T charging standard. , CHAdeMO remains popular in Japan, but is being equipped on very few new cars sold in North America or Europe. First-generation CHAdeMO connectors deliver up to 62.5  kW by 500  V, 125  A direct current through a proprietary electrical connector, adding about ...

Type 2 Connector
The IEC 62196-2 Type 2 connector (often referred to as Mennekes for the company that designed it) is used for charging electric vehicles, mainly within Europe, as it was declared standard by the EU. Based on widespread red IEC 60309 three phase plugs with five pins, which come in different diameters according to maximum current (most common are 16 A and 32 A), a single size was selected, as maximum possible power will be communicated to the car via two additional communication pins and by a simple resistor coding within the cable. The onboard charger inside the car has to limit the current accordingly. The connector is circular in shape, with a flattened top edge; the original design specification carried an output electric power of 3–50 kW for charging battery electric vehicles using single-phase electric power, single-phase (230V) or three-phase electric power, three-phase (400V) alternating current (AC), with a typical maximum of 32 A 7.2 kW using single-phase ...

FLO Charging Network
An electric vehicle charging network is an infrastructure system of charging stations to recharge electric vehicles. Many government, car manufacturers, and charging infrastructure providers sought to create networks. the largest fast-charging location was in California on the Tesla Supercharger network, with 56 charging stalls. Today, charging network vendors include either proprietary solutions (ex. Tesla or Chargepoint), or hardware agnostic solutions (ex. AmpUp, EVConnect, and Greenlots). Hardware-agnostic vendors allow for customers to switch out their charge stations and/or switch to a different network vendors (similar to an unlocked smartphone); whereas proprietary vendors do not allow for customers to switch. Maps The Go Electric Stations is a global station navigation system. The project currently includes free smartphone apps via Next Charge
