The Type 2 Connector is a popular charging plug used for electric vehicles (EVs). It allows for faster charging and is designed to be compatible with various EV models. This connector features a compact design with five pins, enabling both single-phase and three-phase charging, which can significantly reduce charging time compared to older connectors.
Many EV manufacturers, including BMW, Volkswagen, and Audi, have adopted the Type 2 Connector as a standard. This widespread use helps create a more unified charging infrastructure, making it easier for drivers to find charging stations and ensuring that they can charge their vehicles efficiently and conveniently.
