Connector Types Explained
Type 2
The standard connector for AC charging in the UK and Europe. Found on almost all public slow and fast chargers (up to 22kW). Every modern EV comes with a Type 2 inlet.
CCS (Combined Charging System)
The standard DC rapid charging connector. Supports 50kW up to 350kW. Used by most modern EVs from VW, BMW, Mercedes, Hyundai, Kia, Ford, and many others.
CHAdeMO
An older DC rapid charging standard, mainly used by the Nissan Leaf and some Mitsubishi models. Being phased out in favour of CCS but still widely available.
Tesla Supercharger
Tesla's proprietary high-speed charging network. Some Supercharger sites are now open to non-Tesla vehicles via the Tesla app with CCS adapters.
Charging Speed Guide
Slow (up to 7kW)
Typically a 3-pin plug or untethered Type 2. Best for overnight charging at home, hotels, or long-stay car parks. Full charge takes 8-12 hours.
Fast (7-22kW)
AC charging via Type 2. Common at supermarkets, workplaces, and public car parks. Adds around 25-75 miles per hour of charging.
Rapid (25-99kW)
DC charging via CCS or CHAdeMO. Found at motorway services and dedicated charging hubs. Reaches 80% in 30-60 minutes.
Ultra-rapid (100kW+)
The fastest public chargers, delivering 100-350kW via CCS. Can add 100 miles of range in 10-15 minutes on compatible vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What connector type does my EV use?
Most modern EVs use Type 2 for slow/fast AC charging and CCS for rapid DC charging. Older Nissan Leafs use CHAdeMO for rapid charging. Tesla vehicles may use a Tesla-specific connector or CCS depending on the model. Check your vehicle manual if unsure.
How long does it take to charge an electric car?
It depends on the charger speed and battery size. A slow 3kW charger takes 8-12 hours for a full charge. A fast 7-22kW charger takes 3-6 hours. A 50kW rapid charger reaches 80% in 30-60 minutes. Ultra-rapid 100kW+ chargers can add 100 miles of range in 10-15 minutes.
How much does it cost to charge at a public charger?
Costs vary by network and speed. Some slow chargers at supermarkets are free. Fast chargers typically cost 30-45p/kWh. Rapid and ultra-rapid chargers usually cost 60-85p/kWh. Subscription plans from networks like BP Pulse and Osprey can reduce costs.
Where does this data come from?
