EV ADAPTER (electric vehicle adapter) model classification can be classified according to different standards. Here are some common classification methods and their related information:
Charging type:
Direct current (DC) charging adapter: usually used in fast charging stations, capable of directly providing DC power to the battery of electric vehicles. For example, the CHAdeMO connector is designed for powerful DC charging stations in mode 4, which can charge the battery to 80% in 30 minutes (with a power of 50 kW).
Alternating current (AC) charging adapter: commonly known as “slow charging”, usually requires connecting to an on-board charger to charge electric vehicles. For example, the Type 2 connector is one of the most commonly used plug types for electric vehicles. It can be charged via AC and is almost a standard plug in Europe.
Standards and specifications:
J1772: A standard electric vehicle connector produced in the United States and Japan. The plug has 5 contacts and a maximum charging power of 7.4 kW.
CCS1 (Combo 1): An American standard connector that allows the use of slow and fast charging plugs, designed to charge 200-500 V at a current of 200 A and provide a power of 100 kW.
CHAdeMO: A DC-only connector developed in Japan by an association of companies including Nissan, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Honda, and Toyota, with a maximum voltage of 500 V and current of 125 A.
Type 2: A standard plug in Europe and Australia that can be charged via AC using a seven-pin top connector or configured as a DC connector (called a combined charging system, CCS).
GBT: A national standard in China that has compatible adapter products with other standards such as Type 2.
Power and Current: Adapters are often classified based on the current and voltage they can handle. For example, a tesla to gbt EV Adapter is rated at 32A and 220V (AC). A Type 2 to GBT EV Aadator can be rated at 16A or 32A and 200-250V or 380V-450V.
Brands and Manufacturers: Different brands and manufacturers may offer EV ADAPTERs with specific features and specifications. For example, east panda and Evoyage are manufacturers that offer specific types of EV ADAPTERs.
Other characteristics:
The adapter may also have other characteristics, such as operating temperature range, mechanical life, warranty period, etc.
Please note that as electric vehicle technology and charging infrastructure develop, new adapter models and specifications may continue to emerge. Therefore, the above information may need to be updated based on the latest market and technology trends.
