The Combined Charging System (CCS) is compatible with our High Power and Medium Power EV chargers and is the most popular EV charging connector in Europe (now standardised by the EU). The CCS connector utilises the Type 2 plug and combines two DC pins arranged below, to provide a power rating between 50kW-350kW.

The CCS connector on your car is effectively two sockets in one and will often have two separate dust caps over the connectors. At home or on slower AC public chargers, you’ll use the top section of the socket with a Type 2 cable.

When using a High Power or Medium Power EV charger with GRIDSERVE, you’ll uncover the second section to reveal two bigger pins that allow you to charge at much faster rates.
